Argentina ends reciprocity fee for Americans
The moves comes as part of a negotiation between Secretary John Kerry and his Argentine counterpart, Susana Malcorra, in a decree signed by President Mauricio Macri that temporarily removes the reciprocity fee. When President Obama visited Argentina earlier this year, it signaled a shift toward the center by new incoming Argentine government and bilateral relationships have since been strengthening. As part of this...

Olympic Screw-ups to Remember
By now you have probably heard about most of the Olympic flops, but I bet you haven’t heard about these… So here we are, freshly returned from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and we have finally finished downloading the thousands of pictures we took during our stay there. We’re back, safe and sound, just like we expected, but we wanted to take a minute to talk about all the other incidents. First one that comes to mind is...
Zika Prevention for Rio 2016
So here we are, en route to (being en route to being closer to getting to) Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic Games. As we sit on the Delta Sky Club lounge in Atlanta, we wanted to share with you how we made sure to mitigate the risk of contracting Zika while we’re down there.

Zambia: Walking with Rhinos
Since our visit to Kruger National Park in South Africa, I had been dead set on seeing rhinos, at least from a shorter distance. It turned out it wasn’t meant to be until we got to Zambia. It is worth noting that in 2010, the population of white rhinos in Zambia was a shocking total of 1. Yes, ONE. Thankfully, the country sprung into action and relocated 4 white rhinos from South Africa to Zambia’s Mosi-oa-Tunya...

Since that tweet caused an uproar, Folk has publicly attempted to explain his extremely inappropriate remarks away by saying: “The...
American Airlines flight misogyny related delay
Once upon a time, in prehistoric 2016… As reported by local newspapers in Argentina, American Airlines flight 909 from Miami to Buenos Aires was delayed for over an hour yesterday in departing from Miami because… misogynists. As recounted by an Argentinian passenger onboard, when travelers were boarding the flight just before 8pm Miami time, the pilot made the customary announcement welcoming them onboard and thanking...
United will serve Illy Coffee Onboard
Not that anyone would choose to fly them anyway, not even for their better than average coffee… But hey, I commend United on trying to upgrade from the pretty nasty caffeinating experience travelers have to go through when flying. While I do know that it is a fact that taste buds are affected by pressurization and dry air, as well as noise levels, I also know for a fact that airlines, especially in the US, have never...
