Sir, if you feel tired...

Upon arrival in Buenos Aires I had to smile when I noticed this sign. Such a polite country.

Well, I'm a week into my Buenos Aires adventures and I figure if I don't start writing things down, I'm going to forget all the little experiences that tend to make a trip like this so memorable.
The purpose of this blog is twofold: firstly, anyone who knows me knows that I have a huge extended family that is highly curious of my travels and tends to, shall we say, worry a bit when I'm not in touch. I figure this blog will allow me to upload pictures and notes on a regular basis and will provide the chance for me to keep in touch with family and friends. I've promised that I won't disappear again as I did on my last solo trip (long story).
Also, I'm hoping that a few (most?) of you reading this will opt to leave comments of some sort, which I'd totally appreciate. It's a completely new world here and I welcome any news, reactions, jokes, etc. from back home.
With that said, let's start the blog!
