		<title>NEVER EVER USE DHL!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why should you NEVER EVER EVER use DHL?  HA!  Read on.  And this is long &#8211; because I&#8217;m so enraged I hope DHL Worldwide Express reads this.
I was in Argentina and purchased some gifts that needed to make it back to the US very timely.  So I sent the gifts via DHL express, which was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=58&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[




From South America..


Well, this is the final leg of our journey!  Mark and I took a tourist bus from Puno to Cusco, one that stopped at some of the interesting sites along the way.  Our tour guide Coco was full of useful information and we learned tons of incredible facts.  Originally known [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=55&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Floating Islands and 6 foot phaluses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After WAY too short a duration in Bolivia, Mark and boarded the expensivebus (at $2.50usd) to Puno, Peru, a necessary stopover to visit the floating islands of Uros and the overnight stays at Amantan and Taquile (islands in Lake Titicaca).
Puno, Peru is only about a 3 hour bus ride around Lake Titicaca from Copacabana, Bolivia.  Along [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=54&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Birthplace of the Sun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After tearing down The World´s Most Dangerous Road outside of La Paz, Bolivia, on mountain bikes, Mark and I decided to take it easy and spend a day exploring La Paz. 
This is a city that unfolds little by little, it reveals new aspects of its personality with every corner that you turn.  Streets [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=53&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>From 0 to 15,000ft overnight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Exhausted and a little light headed, Mark and I got off the plane from Santiago to La Paz, Bolivia. The airport hovers around 13,500 feet in elevation, and since we´ve been at sea level for the last two months, we were a tad disoriented.  A big sign in the airport said private taxis to downtown [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=52&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>LA, I mean Santiago</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark and I ended our stay in Valparaiso, Chile on a great note.  The town is perfect for 2 days of wanderings, coffee shops, and Pisco Sours in rooftop bars overlooking the bay.  We bought our bus tickets for Santiago, the next morning and headed off for our final day in Chile. 
We started our morning [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=51&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>But I wouldn´t want to be a bicycle messenger&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark and I left the house of Malena with a large degree of sadness.  Hugs and kisses were given all around, and promises to write and to visit.  I can only pray that they take us up on the offer to come to the US.
We boarded our bus from Mendoza to travel across the border of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=50&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>La Famosa Marlena</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark and I just finished a week of Spanish school and home stay in Mendoza, Argentina. 
Let me begin by talking about our homestay.  We stayed for 1 week with Malena and her 25 year old son Diego.  They live in a little suburb about a 25 minute walk from downtown Mendoza called Godoy Cruz.  We [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=49&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Vino de Mendoza!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark and I arrived in Mendoza after a day of flights across Argentina.  We´re pros at the traveling thing now, and LAN Airlines likes to play soundless shows on the TV monitors on the plane for the comfort of all passengers.   I´ve never actually seen a modern show where you could understand what was happening [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=travelhabit.wordpress.com&blog=766828&post=48&subd=travelhabit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
