About me: I'm Dan, a seasoned traveler and a Buenos Aires native. Sixty-two young years of age and half of the world on my back so far. I can certainly show you a thing or two when it comes to discovering Buenos Aires. I can't live without a good laugh. If that feels like you, I'd love to have you on board. By the way, when searching for a suitable flight, here are some tips to help you identify a no-frills airline: - They don't sell tickets, they sell chances. - All the insurance machines in the terminal are sold out. - Before the flight, the passengers get together and elect a pilot. - You cannot board the plane unless you have the exact change. - Before you took off, the stewardess tells you to fasten your Velcro. - The Captain asks all the passengers to chip in a little for gas. - When they pull the steps away, the plane starts rocking. The Captain yells at the ground crew to get the cows off the runway. - No movie. Don't need one. - Your life keeps flashing before your eyes. - You see a man with a gun, but he's demanding to be let off the plane. - All the planes have both a bathroom and a chapel. LOL Don't panic! Things aren't that bad. True, food in Economy is not precisely a smörgåsbord, but I have a Plan B: Get some of those Wayfayrer meals for expeditionaries, just add boiling water, wait for a few minutes et voila! Options include chilli con carne and rice. Bon appetite! It comes to mind a James Michener quote I've found very true while group-traveling: "If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home."
