Truth be told, Buenos Aires is not really calling me – but it did call for one of my besties so, being the great friend that I am, I’m answering by looking for a plane ticket, planning for lots of Malbec and steak, and putting together my outfits for the trip. A few things to note before/for outfit planning: the flight is 10+ hours the average temp will be low to mid 80s (yippee!) they are known for Malbec and steak!

To get into a taxi, the starting fare is ¥710 which is about $9 before you even start moving….!
