Top 10 Reasons to Use a Travel Agent

Addressed to those who are debating whether to use a live travel agent to book their vacation or to go it alone by using the Internet.

1. You’ve Googled “ Argentina vacation,” and come up with 17.8 million responses. Need a little help editing those choices?
2. Remember when you used that obscure website to book your hotel, and when you got there you spent your beach vacation overlooking a parking lot?
3. How many hours were you on hold with the airline when your flight was cancelled because of a snowstorm?
4. Did you really mean to spend your honeymoon at that resort whose one tiny pool was fil led all day with 12 screaming children?
5. Who knew that when you booked that “villa” in Tuscany it would be a small room with a kitchenette and no air conditioning? Funny it looked much better on your computer screen.
6. No one explained to you that in July it’s winter time in Rio , and so you showed up there with nothing but five Hawaiian shirts and three pairs of swimming trunks.
7. How about the time you really needed a restful vacation, and you ended up in New Orleans during Mardi Gras and someone threw up on your shoes?
8. Yes, I guess that hotel must have used a telephoto lens when they took a picture of those guest rooms that you saw on their website.
9. I suppose contacting the Attorney General to resolve the fact that that Internet site has billed your credit card three times instead of once is the only route to take at this point.
10. It was definitely odd that there were no cab drivers at the airport at 3:00 in the morning when you finally landed in Costa Rica , but booking a transfer to your very remote hotel would have been a good thing to remember when you purchased your airline ticket and hotel online.

The Capital Of Cool

...In a country built by immigrants from elsewhere in Latin America, Europeand the Middle East, many Argentines view this recent foreign influx as acolorful new chapter in that story.

Local officials don't like to hear that B.A.is hot because it's cheap, but love the fact that it's emerging as an artcolony.

Not only are foreign artists settling here for the first time, butcreative Argentines are returning from self-imposed, post-crisis exile abroad,creating the most vibrant cultural scene the city has ever known... read the full essay in the Newsweek.

Argentine Nights

"...Drawn by the city’s cheap prices and Paris-like elegance, legions of foreign artists are colonizing Buenos Aires and transforming this sprawling metropolis into a throbbing hothouse of cool.

Musicians, designers, artists, writers and filmmakers are sinking their teeth into the city’s transcontinental mix of Latin élan and European polish..."

Awarded as 2008 Best International City, Planet Out

Many cities establish publicly gay-owned accommodations, nightclubs and so on. However, few make the kind of concerted citywide, legislative, cultural and marketing pushes to attract -- and keep -- LGBT tourism flowing year after year. All of the cities nominated for this award offer leading gay travel services, amenities, activities and support -- but alas, only one can be crowned queen.
The 2008 PlanetOut Travel Award for best international city goes to: Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is not known as the Latin Paris for nothing -- but the city's charm, cosmopolitan sophistication and boisterous LGBT nightlife are all its own.
By Ed Salvato with Nikko Lencek-Inagaki
