I was very excited to receive the Summer issue of the Canadian Scrapbooker magazine in the mail on Wednesday. I authored a travel article for the issue, and there was nothing like a deadline to 'encourage' me to finally get cracking on scrapbooking the photos from our holiday last fall.'Our Adventure Begins' is a layout chronicling the first out-and-about day of our vacation in France. It's also the first time that a photo from the fish eye lens I bought before our trip has been used in my scrapbook :)
I've been spending time Wednesdayand Thursday to try and decide on a holiday destination for Rick and I this year. We are very tempted to head to Buenos Aires. The airline I fly with has a reduced mileage promotion on right now, so Rick and I could fly for free. We're really not sure whether we should go for it or not. Deadline to book with the promotion is Sunday. I worry that if I don't use my miles soon, the airlines may change the policies or cancel them as they battle economic difficulties. However, there are a lot of things that we'd like to do around the house here (all of which cost money), so a lower cost holiday may be more desirable...lots to mull over, eh? If any of you have ever traveled to Buenos Aires and are willing to offer feedback, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the city/surrounding areas.
I wish all of my US friends a great Memorial day weekend.

I was in BA a long long time ago when Easter Airlines was still around. Flew with 3 other women and we spent our time shopping and eating. It was awesome. Came back with sweaters, shoes and purses. I remember the ice cream was divine. Hope you have a great vacation no matter what you decide.

Fly to BA for free??? You don't have to ask me twice. I would LOVE to go to South America!!! Good luck on your choice.
