Pesky Ducks

I'm lining all my ducks up because...  I'm going to Argentina in a couple weeks.  For several months.

Hearing this news, you'll have one of two reactions.

You'll give me a high five and say, "That's so awesome, Kate!  Thrilling, really.  You're so adventurous to go live in a country where you've never been, don't know anyone, and don't speak the language."

Or...

You'll get a ghastly look on your face and exclaim, "WTF are you thinking???"

Shrug.  A girl's got to do what she wants to do, and this girl wants to live in another country for a while.  And why not Argentina?  They have the best steak in the world, and the men are hot.  You don't need more reason than that.

Last weekend I found a place to rent in Buenos Aires.  It looks lovely and, more importantly, the rent includes twice-a-week maid service.  My sister has already found me tango lessons.  I'm looking forward to writing in new cafés and new environments.

I'm excited.  And happy.  I feel like one of my heroines, minus the million neuroses.  (No comment, please.)

  • Actually, my reaction is a combination of jealousy and "Interesting choice... I'd rather to got Scotland though". Can't say I'm surprised about the strangeness of the decision... =P 'Strange' is fairly common territory with you.

  • Scotland was in the running. However, it seemed more advisable to go to Argentina, where it'll be summer, rather than spend winter in Scotland. :) I'm thinking of going to Scotland after I get back. That or Greece.

  • Plus she can buy me tango shoes weekly. :) That was a deciding factor, I think. ;)

  • Note: my sister made me run my destination choices by her. Only cities she wanted to visit were approved.

  • Duh. You can't go somewhere I don't want to visit. Plus this is a great excuse for me to travel too.

  • I love the fact that you've chosen your travel destination based on shoes, lol.

    Just finished Chosen by Desire (it rocks!) but now I want to know about the next book (cuz I think I've already fallen for the hero...assuming it is who I think it is...)
