Planning

Hello again

Sorry for the spotty posting but my internet connection has been a little non-existent - that's the problem with 'borrowing' it. I am surrounded by cafes offering free wi-fi and that's where I get mine from (I think) but during the busy times the bandwidth is restricted and I'm left out of the loop.

Anyhow, I spend yesterday afternoon and evening, and most of today planning my trip home. It is soooo frightening. Partly because I'll be travelling over Christmas and the New Year - prime holiday time for the Argentines - and partly because it involves making decisions and spending money based on those decision. I have to co-ordinate bus tickets, flights and accommodation - should just one be unavailable I'm up the creek without a paddle.

I'm a great believer that everything will turn out ok, that I'll find somewhere safe to sleep and that my booked journeys will all join up nicely, but (and it's a big but) this is South America. I don't know whether to start with the flights (the most expensive part), the bus journeys (the easiest to book) or the accommodation (the quickest to get booked up).

By this time next week, everything must be done... or nothing will happen.
