Waiting Game

It has been over two years since I returned from Alaska on my motorcycle; way too long.

Last week I thought I had corrected that "error"; but it was not to be.  My planned 5 week excursion to Rio De Janerio, Brazil and beyond was aborted on Friday when I was not able to get a boarding pass to board the plane.  Cheapotickets thought that it was unimportant to advise me that Brazil required a visa for travel within the country (the only country in South America that requires a visa for travel).  My advice, "Don't book via Cheapo".

Thus far it's cost over $500 in cancellation and re-booking fees, and I haven't left Bronson.

Still uncertain, but I'm trying to "dodge" Brazil altogether (to avoid the high cost and extended delays  required in order to get a visa) and fly to Argentina instead.  I'll keep you posted.
