Maybe...

So I had a moment where I heard about something I had not heard about before from a couple of different and unrelated sources. So I decided to follow up on it and now we are thinking seriously about trying to make it happen.

We have been looking at airfare for flights to Montevideo or Buenos Aires, which range in price from 600-1300 a piece, one way. Pricey indeed. Also it is unoriginal and boring. So why not travel on a luxurious...



FREIGHT SHIP!!! Apparently freight shipping businesses book passengers in extra cabins and feed passengers in order to offset costs, or perhaps they just like to have strange people who travel in strange ways on board. I am trying to get in touch with someone about figuring out how to book this and how to find out if it is even feasible from southeastern US to South America. We will keep you up to date on how things come along with this fun new idea. In the mean time, check out this site for more information on travelling using freight ships: http://www.geocities.com/freighterman.geo/mainmenu.html

UPDATE: whoa. this is bloody expensive. got info on going from miami to brazil. approximately 14 day trip at almost 200 dollars per person per day. That adds up. Kooshy unoriginal boring airline, here we come!
