Only a few days now until my trip to Vina del Mar and crossing the border to Chile... I am really excited about going but I'm going to make sure I'm back before the World Cup final - since there is a pretty good chance Argentina will end up in the final. Mind you, if they aren't in the final then it doesn't matter either way...
