thank you mkt, I was pricing seperate one way travel instead of multi-city. And no, I was not including the GIG-GRU flight in my total as my travel host is arranging for that portion of the trip.

yes Romelle, I am aware of the need for a visa. It will be a tourist visa which I will apply for 90 days before I plan to enter the country. I believe I will need to use an agency to apply though as the embassy responsible for Arizona is in LA and they won't accept mailed applications. I need to look at this further after purchasing my travel.
