I'm sorry if this was asked but with about 15 pages of info, well......

Anyway, I'm in the early stages of my first visit to Argentina. This will be towards the end of the year. I will have about 7-8 nights total. Obviously BA will be the top destination, but for some other, minor reason I'm thinking Mendoza for 2-3 nights or so.

Any reason I should drop it or maybe add a night? I'm not looking for anything particular, I just like to discover new places. Would Mendoza be worth the flight/bus trip and why?

As a secondary question, what would be the prefered way to get there. I do realize that flying would be quick and painless, but the bus seems like a good way to at least get a glimpse of the country. Any thoughts? (Also, the Southrn Wings site is not working for me, is it down, or is it my problem only? - I do get the first page where you have a choice of Spanish or English, but that's it)

Thanks in advance!
