Hey - I got your blog 3 times. I'm not annoyed, I just deleted, but other people might be. Just a heads up to check your email group.

Note from Karen: Thanks and sorry, folks, to those who got triple the goods. Issue resolved.
I saw this email (xxx) on your blog. Do we now all know the secret address to email posts so they end up on your blog?

FLIGHTS IN BRAZIL
If they still have it, (5 years ago they did) I suggest you buy a "Skybus" ticket - giving you discounted air travel within Brazil so you can really travel around the huge country. (Carbon Emissions Aside).

WHERE TO GO IN BRAZIL
Is this your first trip to Brazil? You don´t want to miss Rio, for example. The Amazon is another interesting must-see. Fernando de Noronha is one of my favorite spots.

HEALTH TIPS - SOUTH AMERICA
One thing that can be really handy when you are traveling is to carry grapefruit seed extract with you. You can put a few drops on any salads or into a glass of water to reduce parasite/bacteria dangers. Also I recommend strongly carrying a water filter, as relying on plastic bottles is not only just bad but also not reliable.
