I'll be doing a 6 month stint in Brazil (Macae; it's the oil and gas capital of the country) right outside of Rio. I'm sure I'll be flying places but I don't have anything planned yet.

However, Ilha Grande will be quite close to me. Be sure to let me know if you come here as I could surely show you some neat spots (I'm Ben from the breakfast joint in Hilton Head!)

I'm confused why the destinations in the Amazon Basin are all hotels, rather than places to see.

You've got several of the trips I'm planning now (next 2-5 years) on this list!!! Thanks for the resources.

Before kids, my husband and I spent 2 weeks in Botswana including a camping safari in the Okavanga Delta. It was one of the best experiences of my life! We are just waiting for our kids to be old enough so we can go back and take them.
