      <description><![CDATA[When my dear friend and fellow &ldquo;single gal in San Francisco&rdquo; left the city to teach English in San Jose, Costa Rica, I was inspired by her independence and sense of adventure. I was also a recently dumped woman. How better to nurse my bruised ego than to visit an old friend and confidante in Costa Rica? I set off, determined to simply lounge on the beach by day and shake my booty by night, goals which turned out to be easily attainable.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Seeing the documentary &ldquo;Buena Vista Social Club,&rdquo; first piqued my interest in Cuba: the music, the architecture and the personalities depicted in the film took my breath away. But it wasn&rsquo;t until I was traveling in Mexico and met a feisty Englishman that I seriously considered going there. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re from the Land of the Free, but you&rsquo;re not free to go to Cuba!&rdquo; he pointed out. That&rsquo;s all it took: I was going to Cuba.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In 1976, my grandparents hosted Geisa, a foreign exchange student from Brazil. I was seven years old at the time, and took great pains to correct her when she mispronounced English words.

When Geisa invited me to her home in Rio de Janeiro, I wasted no time booking my flight.]]></description>

Three months was long enough to make me feel that I&rsquo;d experienced more than a tourist could, but short enough to keep me coming back again and again. Famed for Bourbon Street and Mardi Gras, the Crescent City is so much more. Let me try my hand at some Southern hospitality and guide you <em>out</em> of the French Quarter and into the mysterious sway of my New Orleans.]]></description>
