$799 for a week in Buenos Aires, including air from New York or Miami, is the Surprise Bargain of the coming autumn
The price is available any day of the week from September 1 all the way to December 9, and includes your choice of a flight from either Miami or New York, as well as six nights in a Buenos Aires hotel. There are no surprises, no add-ons, no hidden expenses, other than a very reasonable $119 per person for government taxes and fuel surcharges. And once in Buenos Aires, you'll enjoy (thanks to a favorable exchange rate) some of the lowest costs in the western hemisphere. Numerous Americans have marveled about the recent values in the restaurants and shops of this elegant South American city.
The package at this price is from Go-Today.com, and you book it either via www.gotoday.com (look for the "Buenos Aires Super Saver") or by phoning tel. 800/227-3235. A single caution on my part: don't book any of the optional transfers offered on the website, but simply inquire about public transportation into town once you arrive. And at least initially, you'd do best to sightsee on your own -- this is a safe, walkers' city -- instead of buying any of the optional escorted tours.
