Good luck with getting home, sounds like you need a little R&R in your home country!
Incidently what else do people do to protect their cash? I'm going by the simple method of not carrying much - but very intreaged about sewing it into trousers etc - does it stand up to the trip?

Hey Matt, thanks for the kind words. It stinks that there are people on the Hubb like this flaming **** in the post above. I can only wish the same luck for him.

Bottom line: the world is no different in Beunos Aires than it is in Des Moines....in both places, the good people out number the bad...except Washington DC with a Republican administration in office

Yeah Edde, I think you are right. It was definitely an error not to keep it on me. Better yet I should have just sent it by Western Union.

My luck has been a little crappy in Argentina, but I guess it is good to be ending my trip without any really bad luck.
I did not tell anyone that I had the money with me. I did tell some people about selling the motorcycle though.
