    I need a beach

    Yes Chris, all true. We were in Jupiter in January. the overnight flight home left me with a backache thats still bothering me so I'm not ready for another overnight flight. I made this post because I'm hoping that I missed a good June beach destination nearby in South America.

It's quite luxurious and has everything, very good food and terraces overlooking a beautiful beach that's occasionally visited by penguins and sea lions. But it's a four hour drive and, now that we have more grandchildren...

    Weekend resort

    Thanks guys I looked at the hotels you suggested, the look quite suitable for our weekend away. Noisy kids shouldn't be a problem after our brood gets there.

    Banks will not let you have an account unless you reside in the U.S so it's important to have a mailing address in the US, a US drivers license and a US phone number. Also the US and Argentina are beginning to share information so stay away from any official Arg systems.
