A Little Side Trip to South America

 

Rainbow at Logan
We have an auspicious beginning to our South America trip of 2 weeks: a rainbow.  After a month of stress worrying about how to get a visa for Brazil, we were notified last week that Brazil has moved the deadline to April.  I think that all the tour groups, cruise ships, Brazilian hotels and airlines gave them heck because of cancellations.  We also would never have been able to go because as of today, our departure date, we still do not have a visa.  BUT we are now excited and will be landing tomorrow in Rio.  

Logan to JFK

Without humility I must say that flying 1st class is worth selling your first child for.  1.  There is the club area at the airports that is quiet, comfortable and offers free drinks and food.  The Admiral Club at Logan was like the best top notch hotel would be.  The JFK Admiral Club is not quite as elegant, but still nicer than the boarding gates.
