I am staying in a bed-n-breakfast in kind of a ghetto part of town — a lot of Ushuaia is rather ghetto; I guess the tourist money hasn’t yet trickled abajo. The main strip has lots of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When traveling alone, it makes sense to keep up one’s guard — to avoid interacting as freely with strangers as one might do when one is with companions, or in familiar surroundings. This is especially true for a woman traveling solo. Best to evade situations that can bring unwelcome attention or uninvited company.
But meeting people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first and most obvious awesome thing about Oaxaca is, obviously, its name. First there is the spelling. This word brazenly opens with double vowels and then — BAM! an X! — followed by another vowel! You don&#8217;t get to a normal consonant until the third syllable. And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is nomenclature that [...]]]></description>

Here are my feet enjoying the sun, sand and surf at Playa Coral in Puerto Escondido (the rest of me kinda dug it, too). On an absolutely stellar Saturday, this beach was nearly deserted. I was imagining beaches in the States on a day like this — they’d be packed — and I felt [...]]]></description>

I am sitting on the plane en route from NYC to Mexico City. Not a good flight. Aeromexico, your flight attendants are very nice but your omelets are rubbery and your coffee sucks.
I had to decide between a middle seat or an aisle seat in the last row of the plane (and therefore can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
