Take the northern route, possibly meet a rich, make that very rich Argentinian polo player and live happily ever after. Also pick up a case or two of decent Argentinian wine during your trip and bring it back to Rio. Love Chris & Family XXX

Hi Priya, SOOO pleased to be invited to take part in your poll!
Thing is, I am leaning to Plan A. Places and tango lessons are important too but people will also what make your memories great. Visit Menna - how amazing after 10 years/fly home via New York etc. etc./and really you must spend a weekend with Rebakah.
Enjoy XXXX

What a fab idea! We should have have been responsible for the entire trip through these type of polls...

I can't remember which plan is which because I'm sneaky emailing from work (i think A is the one I like). you speak spanish already so ditch the grammar lessons, tango can be learnt at danceworks on bond st (i even found a place in Stoke that teaches.) Floripa is fab in Brazil so I would definitely recommend that (though I am biased)and meeting up with friends in NY is a must! shopping in 2 great cities...what's stopping you!! (and of course the culture in uruguay is a plus point)
buena suerte chica, Vish xxx
