Travel Forum / Destinations / Latin America / January 2007

I am going to Buenos Aires early next month.
One of my travel guide books had this comment to make about the locals.
It said, and I am paraphrasing, that those that live in BA are very

I'll be in San Diego at the end of January and I plan to spend the day in
Tijuana on Sat. Jan. 27. We should be there from around 9 am until 8 pm.

I am hoping someone could provide me with an itinerary more or less of

Have any of you attended this school?  A German friend highly
recommended it, though she was there some 12 years ago.  Their Web site
is up to date, so I know they're still in business.  Have studied twice
in Cuernavaca and once in Quito, and since I don't know northern Mexico

I could not find much about taking a passenger train through Mexico let

Guatemala to Honduras to Nicaragua to Costa Rica to Panama to Columbia to
Brazil.

Has anyone experienced the 1-day Costa Rica Highlights tour from San Jose?
It appears that several companies offer the same tour, and much of the
verbiage from their websites was repetetive.
Do you have a particular tour company recommendation?
