I was flying back and forth quite a lot to EZE in the immediate aftermath of the dedollarization debacle; back then people at home and elsewhere not familiar with Argentina were thinking it was "dangerous" because of the images on the TV and the stories in the paper. I had enjoyed my times there then too even while my sympathies were with those enduring the miseries then and the miseries that were to follow. Actually, that's when I started to most heavily recommend that people should visit there. And, not surprisingly, most that have visited there recommend it strongly.

That reminds me, the Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel is hiking its price in Starwood Points in a couple of hours .... and awards will be nearly double in points if not redeemed now.
