I will be arriving 7:40am on 4/24 and leaving 8:30pm on 4/29. I found my rental from www.geocities.com/brazilrental/4u.html. I got a good
deal (I think). It's a pretty nice 2br condo only 65.00 per night. It's suposed to be 1.5 blocks to the beach and the Palace. I hope that's a good section of the beach. I'm going to get my Visa on monday. I downloaded the application. Less than a month away I'm getting excited. Only thing I thought I'd be going with a bunch of friends but it will only be me and one other guy. Between the fear ofDenague and just general things coming up I lost another 3 guys.

Your friends will be kicking themselves when 1) you come back and don't have denague and 2) you tell them about the great time you had. Their loss.

Brian...

too bad you lost friends to Dengue...
with the odds of getting Dengue here being less than the odds of having a 747 fly into the side of their office building while they are at work in Estado
Unidos. -:) Anyway..if you don't like that section of the beach...Ipanema and other praia's are so easy to get to.

Tchau
