Thanks for the planning tip, Audrey. I’m starting to look at flights seriously now.

Thanks Laura, I’m really looking forward to it. Also looking forward to how it will evolve along the way.

Eight one-month trips sounds like a fantastic idea! You’ve got many fun adventures ahead of you I’m sure

I’m still on the hunt for a good flight. Salta’s apparently somewhat difficult to access.

Nice! I loved Salta. Did you eventually find a good deal on flights?

I aim to spend 2-3 nights in BA before heading to Salta. Who knows, it might beguile me and force me to stay there for the entire month. Thanks for the well wishes, Andi!

Thanks Erin, your comments and site have been really helpful in making that decision. Wish our paths would cross!

Hi Leigh, glad to hear the 50s are treating you well. I don’t know if it’s recent stories I’ve read, but more people seem to be getting sicker at a younger age. I figure nothing is guaranteed, and that’s a sobering thought to have in a culture built on delayed gratification. You’re making me blush with the compliments : \

Thanks Claire. With 30 – or any year for that matter – you can choose to dwell on the arbitrariness of it all or just keep on moving without a second glance. I think the latter is a better way to go. If you didn’t know you just turned 30, 40, 50, or 60, would you suddenly feel different? No.
