I don't remember that. I just remember thinking that I'd arrived in heaven directly from he// when we got to the destination.
On our recent trip, Buenes Aires was high 70s, Ushuaia (southern tip of Argentina) was 40s, Antarctica was 20/30s, Iguaza Falls (northern Argentina) was high 90s with nearly 100% humidity. Crazy temp swings. No rain anywhere, but a couple of drizzly days.

That is crazy.

Is Iguaza Falls near the place where the three countries meet?

Iguazu Falls is between Argentina and Brazil. The upriver part of the shared site is in Argentina. We did a day trip into Brazil to ride a large Zodiac style boat up to (and under) the falls. On the trip back to our hotel on the Argentinian side the guide pointed out Paraguay off to the west. We could see it, but we didn't cross over the border to it.
So yeah, the three countries meet, but at a point just a little to the northwest of where we were.-

Not exactly sure.

We flew out to playa del Carmen two Christmas’ ago for our 25th. Didn’t want to take coats so we just parked in the ramp and ran to the catwalk really fast since it was ice cold.

a couple of days ago, my wife's phone said the temp was -0 degrees. Shouldn't it be just zero? Maybe it was -0.3 and it round to zero?

Ordered a couple things on Sunday that wouldn't be here until Thursday. Just canceled and reordered because it says they can be delivered tomorrow. I don't get it.

We have been doing these threads for a long time. Some of my earliest RTT memories are while MrsWx was pregnant with our first kid. That kid turned 10 yesterday.
I'm rewatching 24 right now, I just finished season 3. It was a main actor's birthday the other day and they turned 53, so they were 32 in the show. I'm 32 now, almost 33.
