Off to Argentina this evening!

And finally I get to hit that sixth continent, if only for a long weekend.

I was invited down to Mendoza, Argentina this weekend for the Masters of Food & Wine Event. The event is sponsored by Park Hyatt and American Airlines, and they were generous enough to take care of my hotel and airfare. So this evening I’ll be flying American Airlines down to Buenos Aires and then onwards to Mendoza, where I’ll be spending a few nights at the beautiful Park Hyatt Mendoza.

I’m not meaning to rub it in, but it looks like it’ll be 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit down there this weekend… 😉

Of course I’ll have plenty of updates and a detailed trip report when I return. And don’t fret, in the meantime I promise I’ll finish posting my Qatar trip report.

I know it’s a long shot, but anyone else going to be down there?

What did you do to warrant the comped trip? Was this because of the blog...new AA activity...or from hyatt?

Lucky, You will probably have to take Ezeiza Taxi from EZE to Jorge Newberry Aeroparque for the flight to Mendoza. We were in Mendoza and inside the Park Hyatt Casino 3 years ago. You should enjoy it very much. As a side note, we just got back from Bs.As. 3 weeks ago after spending 45 days there living as ex-pats. Have a great trip!
