Tom and I are back in Buenos Aires after flying from NYC to Atlanta, bumming around the airport for eight hours, then flying through the night to Ezeiza, the BA airport. Just before landing, we were all given surgical masks and instructed to wear them when we deplaned and throughout our time in the airport. Too bad they didn’t give instructions on how to wear them–many were inside out or upside down. There have been four recent swine flu (H1N1) ) deaths in Argentina recently and they are not taking any chances.
Or, well, not as many, any way. When we got off the plane, they had the scanner reading our body temperature. But once we hit customs, we realized that the other passengers from other flights did not wear masks. Hmm. Not such a consistent policy. Maybe it was only for those coming from the U.S.?
Who knows. Hey, it’s Argentina, and I love it. It’s good to be home.

I read the USA Today interview. Good insights! It made me wonder if you had any advice for a single mature woman thinking about getting a graduate degree, perhaps abroad. I’ve been out of uni for 15 years now and after some years of living abroad I am contemplating creative ways to earn that degree.
Thank you for your good works!
