Hare Krsna,

We are leaving for Houston, Mexico, India within 45-minutes. Writing last minute urgent letters, packing, dangerous headache, but the Sankirtan is going ahead.

Yesterday we tried to finalize these tickets for South America. Lima was pretty easy. Not really easy, but we did it. We have a ticket to and from Lima: 21 June - 26 July. We were thinking some time in Peru and Bolivia and some time in Santiago.

Then we tried for TWO HARD hours to work out the Brazil ticket and nothing works. A direct flight is $1,500. There is one cheap ticket on Jet Blue - Azul through Florida, but that takes 24-hours and will go through four airports each direction. Then... the Visa is a lot of work and costs $160 for each entry. If we go on to Argentina and come back for our flight through Rio then that will be $320 for the Visa ...   so... at this point it seems like this Brazil, Argentina trip is not happening! .... .

We are trying our best but is lot of work to get reasonable tickets, and then the travel is very hard.

We are open to professional suggestions!
