Going to Brazil has been awfully quiet lately, but now we are back with a vengeance!

There is just so much going on in Brazil that we can’t just sit down idly and not write about all these wonderful things – and maybe get you excited enough so you will get a ticket and fly down there to see it all by yourself. Believe you me, going through the madness of airport security in the US will be really worth it once you get to Brazil, go to the beach, take a beach chair (and umbrella, please! The sun can be harsh, especially on non-tanned skin), order your caipirinha, watch the beautiful local people go by, and just relax!!!

Some of the things we will talk about from now on will include some amazing hotels that have been awarded excellence awards, cool new architecture that’s been the buzz of the town, our gorgeous beaches and something really amazing that will probably change the country forever: the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup (check out the official FIFA announcement and the official Brazilian World Cup site - a Portuguese-speaking friend will help, as the site is in Portuguese) and the 2016 Summer Olympics (check out the official Olympics)!

These two major world events alone will provide conversation for many articles.

So, stick with us. You won’t regret it!
