The countdown has begun in earnest! Hubster and I leave in just 9 days! (Today and the day we leave don't really count :)!)

Here's the plan so far:

March 28-29 --> Travel from on capital to another: DC to Buenos Aires!

March 30-April 3 --> I'm taking Spanish classes for 4 hours each day in BA, staying with Tios; Hubster will head to Cordoba on the 30th or 31st.

April 6 --> Mom and Hubster's mom, Betty, arrive. And, in a total freak coincidence, they're going to be arriving on the same flight from Miami!

April 6-8/9 --> Mom and I explore BA and Colonia, Uruguay...woot!

April 9/10-14/15 --> Mom and I will head up to Cordoba via bus and spend time with Hubster, the three other awesome med students who are taking rotations there, and the sun. :)

April 15/16-18 --> Mom, Hubster and I head back to BA to meet up with Betty and Tios. There will be loads of food, exploring and a Tango show crammed in there before the Moms head back to the States on the 18th (although they are not on the same flight back, the Moms will be leaving within 2 hours of each other...crazy coincidence).

April 19-24 --> Hubster and I finish out our stint in Cordoba.

April 24-28(?) --> Head to Iguazu Falls to meet up with Dan O!! Craziness will ensue.

April 29(?)-May 9 --> Some combination of time in BA, Mar del Plata, and Moromar (the ranch, OH! the ranch) visiting family and friends; enjoying our last days in Argentina.

Then we head back to the States on May 10th - we'll get back to DC on the 11th.

And now, for your viewing pleasure:

L to R: Tia Pochi, Me, Abuela (about to be 101 years old!), Tia Nilda, Tio Roberto, Cousin, Hub, Cousin, Tio Goni

Government building in BA.

La Boca! Definitely the most colorful part of BA.

La Casa Rosada (Argentina's White House) in BA.

Statue of I'm not Sure Who in BA, at one of the big intersections.

Flower sculpture that opens and closes from day to night...so cool!

A ship docked on the river. Along the river there are cafes and ice cream shops and other great people watching spots. It's probably my favorite part of the city!

I promise to post updates here with pictures and stories of our adventures!
