Kay and I finally managed to get our Christmas Holiday booked after much struggling. We are "doing" South America, including Peru, Chile and Argentina. The trip has eleven legs so it is really extensive. We first tried to book it online but it turned out to be too uncertain since several of the airlines have different rules for non residents, but they dont state what those rules are, and it is unclear if reservations actually would be valid. In the end we used AMEX travel service and it worked out well. Keep an eye out for photographs from the trip. They should be up in early January.
 
It is my first trip to South America and I am looking forward to visiting unique sites like Machu Picchu, the Iguazu Falls and Tierra del Fuego.
 
My friend and colleague Alexandre Luzes is connecting me with colleagues in the cities we are going to, to help us make the most of our trip. Much appreciated!
