G'day All
My youngest (17yrs) son leaves tomorrow on a school Rugby Tour in South America. My ignorance about this area , with the exception of Buenos Aires is almost total. I could use some advice please. He flies with TAM LHR to Sao paulo, connecting to Santiago (Chile), then Vina del Mar, Buenos Aires, Asuncion (Paraguay) then Iguazu and back again with TAM via Sao Pauo - He's going to be a busy boy (and his parents are going to bee financially stretched for years as a result).
Any comments on TAM - I've looked at their website but can find no info about his most important requirement - IFE. Will the IFE be seat-back, and is there an English language option?
I'm giving him US dollars as a mix of cash and Travellers Cheques - any issues with this?
I've given him a US plug (i.e. electrical) adapter for ipod charge: This should cover some/most or all? Any experience?
Are internet cafes/Skype/MSN routinely available in the cities?
Thanks in anticipation.
