Is anyone else travelling to Argentina or Chile in Jan/Feb ?
I was just reading the thread on gtgs ( get togethers and started to think about my own positive experiences in meeting other Fodor people. I'll be in parts of Chile and Argentina in January and February. .
I wonder if anyone else is going to be there on vacation and would like to meet for a mini get together.
Let me know your plans and perhaps we can work something out to have dinner or lunch.

I wish, but we won't be in BA until near the end of February. I'll be eagerly reading trip reports from others right up until that point.

Susan I will be in BA the last 2 weeks in Feb. Since I live near Toronto, it would be really funny to meet that far from home!

We will be in BsAs in February - though in NOA the 3rd week of the month.

Are you thinking of organizing a Fodor's GTG ?

Marnie, yes, I think it would be fun. The last week in Feb sounds like it might work for both of us.
Susan, does that work for you?

Scarlett, are you out there?

I will be travelling through out Chile and Argentina in Jan and the first half of Feb.

I'm in BA Jan 20 to 26, then again Feb 14 and 15.
Also other parts of Argentina and Chile, so would be interested too.
We are from near Ottawa.

Bon Voyage

Christo, I won't be in BA til Feb 14, but not sure if Marnie will be there..
Let's see if we can narrow it down. I don't know what time I'm arriving on the 14th. SO maybe ther 15th.

Does that work for you Marnie?

Christo, I'm from outside Toronto.

Feb 15th will be our last day & night in BA. (We fly out on the red eye Feb 16th) I would love to join you all for a Fodor's GTG. Lunch or dinner would be fine by us.
It would such fun to put faces to all the people that we share our travel info with. )

So how about the 15th? Condu and Christo? Are you ok with that date?
Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested.

Marnie, I know you have written extensive reports on your time in Argentina. I will have to make myself a cup of tea, and settle in to do a lot of great reading.
I'm looking forward to rereading your posts.
Sorry you won't be there on the 15th, but Salta is so much better!! I was there last year and loved the whole area.
I was so tempted to go back to that area this year, but wanted to see more of the country.

Perhaps we could meet for lunch sometime in the last week of Feb.

We won't be there until Feb 26, so it looks like it won't work for us - but post some trip reports - I'll be reading

christo, We are from near Ottawa too. Check out my thread about having a GTG in B A.in January. Both threads were started around the same time I guess but maybe we can get together Jan 20-26 even if we do something else before. I'm in B A Jan. 8 to Feb. 6

condu, when are you in B A from?

It looks like Feb 15 is a good day. I'm just rushing off to work... but will report back later. Looks like Canadians are anxious to skip the winter!!!

Condu, are you Canadian too?

Yes, We want to go to where it is warm & sunny!
We had our first snow fall last night. It is now melting as temps have risen over the freezing mark.
