This is my travel blog...!

So, I never really thought I'd ever make a blog. My life isn't really so action-packed to necessitate an on-line journal; it's not like I have young kids relatives across the country want to watch grow up, I'm a journalist and have any juicy news stories to break, or feel the desire to rant on-line about feminism or water polo ( though I appreciate those who do).

Anyway, so in order to justify making a blog and thereby becoming part of this latest craze to sweep the nation, I figured I either had to take up water polo, have kids, or go on a trip so I could make a travel(b)logue.

So I'm off to South America; Chile and Argentina to be more specific. I'm leaving Montreal September 4th and returning December 19. The only items on the itinerary at this point is a visit with my friend Claudia in Santiago, and a 2 month long Spanish class at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. The rest of the details I'll just fill in as I go along, I guess. I sort of like travelling that way.
