South America was my great ambition to visit for long since I started traveling the world in 1971. Finally the dream had come true suddenly in the year 2002 when I was in the small town Brewster in Washington State, USA. Thanks to the god, even to my surprise, it was two countries at a time, Mexico and Chile. I immediately accepted to extend my overseas stay for another a week or so without single worry at all when I was asked to move to these two countries in Latin America from USA. I managed to get airlines ticket and hotel accommodation at the small travel agency in Brewster, and headed to the south while people in Japan were extremely busy on their holiday making of the special week in the beginning of May.
