Travel Note
Anna Maria is a small island off the Gulf Coast of Florida that Anna's family has been visiting for decades. It has beautiful white sand beaches but limited housing. We recommend joining forces with friends to rent condos/houses on AirBnB or VRBO. Alternatively, Bradenton is close and cheaper although not on the water. If you want to make more of an urban adventure out of your weekend, we would recommend staying in Tampa or in St. Petersburg. The Hyde Park neighborhood in Tampa is very nice with cute shops, and Downtown St. Pete has lots of fun bars and things to do. Uber and Lyft definitely exist in Florida, but if you want complete freedom, consider renting a car or sharing among a group of friends. Text or email us if you are wondering exactly where to stay. To fly to Anna Maria, you can fly into Tampa, St. Petersburg (these two are probably cheapest), Sarasota, or Bradenton.
Travel Note
Salta is a large provincial capital in Northern Argentina surrounded by beautiful wine country and rugged mountains. Salta has many cute AirBnBs as well as many boutique hotels. For those of you coming to Argentina for a longer period of time, email us! We can help with suggested flights. We will also be traveling in Cafayate for a few days in advance; details about this mini-trip will be sent to guests who RSVP to our Argentina event. Salta has an international airport, although most flights to Salta go through Buenos Aires. Please email us for advice on flights.
