“South America, Take It Away” was a 1946 song written for the musical Call Me Mister and was made a big hit by Bing Crosby.

The writer of the lyrics tells of the dances that the folks love down in South America…the Samba, the Rumba, and “your Conga…ay-yi-yi!!!” and how those dances are killing his sacroiliac.

Hopefully we won’t get our “spines out of whack” like the lyrics proclaim, dancing the nights away under the Argentinian and Chilean moons, but we know we will enjoy being submerged in the wonderful culture of our southern neighbors and we look forward to meeting the people, seeing the sites, and of course…THE FOOD!!!

¡Hasta mañana!

Our trip itinerary. We are taking both the pre-trip to Easter Island and the post-trip to Iguassu Falls.
