Gaucho hello,

First of all congratulations on your new venture - best of luck! Second - thanks for the time and effort you have put into this thread. I had been reading through and on the spur of the moment called DL a couple of weeks ago and snagged 4 coach tickets using miles to EZE. BA is one of the places on my list to visit, so this will be our winter vacation.

A couple of questions that you might be able to help with. We arrive on the 22nd of December and are leaving on the 1st of January, so we'll be in Argentina for the 2 holidays. Do most stores, shops, museums, etc. close for the holidays? How about the falls at Iguazu - are tours conducted New Years eve and day?

Since we'll be spending a solid week in BA, it seems that a rental apartment is a much better arrangement (2 adults, 2 children) than a hotel room. Any opinion on the apartment rental scene?

Thanks - runningshoes.

BTW - have you finalized your Greece/Egypt vacation plans?
