Planning our trip to Argentina and getting the blog set up makes me reminisce about our last big trip, to Southeast Asia. That was a really memorable journey. I decided to leave the pictures and posts up for that one, just for old times sake. I'm guessing there will be quite a contrast. Unfortunately our favorite travel companion Jeanne will not be along this time. That would bum me out more if I didn't think that she and I (and the three of us) will be doing a lot of fun trips together in the future.
This is our first trip to South America and we're excited. I'm celebrating a pretty big birthday this month and it seemed like a fitting time for a longer trip, since we hadn't been on one for a couple of years. Buenos Aires has been on the short list for awhile. We decided to do a longer trip and get outside the city for an excursion. There are lots of different regions to travel to, including the Mendoza region (wine country) and of course Patagonia. After a bit of research, we decided on the northwest, based in Salta. The region seems to combine interesting towns with some incredible geography. I look forward to posting lots of great pictures. There is also a secondary wine region (around Cayafate) in that general area which we'll be able to explore.
