Rio De Janeiro - we are coming to visit!!!

[ahka]

I am Off the leash—ready for vacation!

Finally, baby is little bit older and we have not gone on real vacation for years now.  My renewed passport arrived yesterday and since last week I begun negotiating with Boris our vacation.  The negotiations usually are not easy.  So, when we actually go somewhere, I truly appreciate my hard work.

The world is the limit!!! That makes me very excited.  I was looking at the countries that I have not been before.  I considered a tour around Spain, however, Boris made a good point that we want to get rest too.  The tour around Spain would involve waking up early, riding on the bus from city to city from museum to museum and we will just get more exhausted. 

So, I started looking at Argentina, Buenos Aires.  Air and hotel are very affordable, however Boris does not like that it will be a long flight (well he will have to survive it anyway).  I looked at Argentina’s weather in April and it turned out not as warm to go on the beaches. 

So, I started looking at Brazil, Rio De Janeiro.  The flight is few hours shorter then Buenos Aires (not really, but I told Boris that it is).  The weather is high 81F low71F in April. 

I found very reasonable hotel right on the Copacabana beach plus we can take city tours and enjoy other activities.  I know that we are late for the carnival, but still, should be very interesting.  I have never been to any country in South America and this sounds great to me!!!

Done deal!!! We are going to BRAZIL!!! At the end of April!!! (After all of my conference presentations).

Any advice  abt travel to Brazil would be appreciated!!!

Заглядывая в окно, покрытое каплями дождя, с грустью:

"Дааааааа!!! Это не Рио Де Жанейро, это гораздо хуже..." ()

Дима, на которого я дала линк Аньке ниже, сказал, что за все время в Бразилии, он видел только двух человек в белых штанах, и они явно были не бразильцами :)

Oh, my husband will die of envy! Brazil is one of his dream places to visit :))

It is pretty realistic, instead of Mexico, just go there (without little kids of course). Hotels w/ good reviews are not very expensive. Thanks for the links!
And we need to get together, I will call you.

Thanks!!! I just found out that we need to get visas and they are pricey, plus Boris needs to renew his passport because Brazil wouldn't give him visa unless passport is not going to expire in the next 6 months. Boris is not happy!!! but I don't let him off the hook :)))
