Tight connections, the only way to fly. O ur original flight from Montevideo had us sitting at the BA airport for 4 hours before our connecting flight to Iguazu Falls however when we checked in we were told our flight was over sold. On the upside we could get on a flight that left BA 30 minutes after we got in but would be a very tight connection. Sold. When we landed in BA we were met by an airline agent who quickly rushed us through customs then security, pulling us to the front of the line each time and took us straight to our gate. It was awesome. No waiting around for these guys, we are kinda a big deal. Yes, tight connections, the only way to fly indeed. This would later bite two of us on the trip. Corner of Smog and Smokey We arrived to a very tropical and hot Iguazu. It was odd to be moving north to get hotter weather but we gladly took it. We checked in at our very posh jungle lodge and were happy to find the cabin we booked was as nice as described. It also included th...

Musha Cay, Bahamas. The private island is owned by illusionist David Copperfield. The pleasure to be private on the island is expensive, however, the experience is unforgettable. Three smaller islands surround Musha Cay, that serve to protect privacy of the vacationers. Renting the island enables you to choose your guests. A group of visitors staying in the resort cannot exceed 24 people. A perfect escape, ensuring the best holiday ever!

Whether the aim is to boost buzz with sold-out nights or to make fine dining more intimate, tiny restaurants are a big thing. Buenos Aires Argentine chef Isidoro Dil- lon and partner Vanessa Bell keep the monthly location of their Bread & Butter supper club a secret – previous pop-ups have included a Palermo warehouse and antique stores – until guests contact them through Instagram. Dillon, who made a name for himself with his Nordic restaurant, Söder, serves his signature Scandinavian-accented cuisine in the 15-seat pop-up, where offerings may include trout with miso carrots, or duck with beets, morels, and truffle milk. Bread & Butter’s confit artichoke with smoked sorrel hollandaise sauce. Chicago Oriole isn’t just small, it’s well concealed. The 28- seat hideaway is accessed by a freight elevator off an alley-like West Loop lane. Worth the trek, chef Noah Sandoval’s fare spans 16 courses that draw on the flavors of Italy, Latin America, and beyond ...

Ilha de Boipeba is located in the South of Bahia, Brazil and was elected in 2013 by Trip Advisor as the second best island in South America. The island is part of the Tinharé Archipelago and is situated 356 Km (222 mi) from Salvador, Bahia’s capital. Boipeba is home of a dense Atlantic rainforest, with salt marshes, sand dunes, and extensive mangroves, along with luscious coconut trees dotting the beaches and numerous coral reefs. It has an incredible ecosystem and is a world of ecological diversity. I visited Boipeba in February 2016 and was enchanted by its charming village with cobblestone streets and colorful houses and delighted by the gorgeous beaches with soft sand and unbelievably warm water. The island is becoming more and more popular among Brazilians as well as foreigners because of the island’s simple infrastructure and because it is perfect for those who are looking for tranquility and being with na...
