We will be traveling from beautiful Buenos Aires (http://www.geographia.com/argentina/buenosaires/Index.htm) - the Paris of South America - with its history, great food and exciting entertainment (think Tango!), to the majesty of the Andes towering over the historic city of Mendoza (http://www.greatwinecapitals.com/mendoza/index.html) and the scenery of the surrounding wine country, to the tourist town of Bariloche in the wonderful Nahuel Huapi National Park, where, according to National Geographic, you can get the "best view of the world". And lest you think this merely a sightseeing adventure, there are LOK exclusive learning opportunities. Understand the unique economy and current issues in Argentina and South America over dinner at the famous Jockey Club in Buenos Aires with a member of their federal reserve. Network at cocktails with some leading business and cultural figures in the capital. And we are just beginning to mine the contacts we have to make this not only a trip of a lifetime but one that will give you important information about our southern neighbors.But because of the threat of inflation, we have to move fast to lock in prices. So we need to hear from you ASAP. If you think you would be interested, we need to know by August 15, 2008, at which time a $500 per person deposit would be required. The estimated cost for the trip at this time if $6,800, which includes a few meals but not all. It is hoped that this can go down once group rates are negotiated. But because of the inflation risk, it will be necessary to have a further deposit of up to 25% of the final cost by September 1, 2008.
