It's a long trip to Argentina. Not necessarily to get to Buenos Aires (which is a decent amount of miles) but once there you need to get to the domestic airport at the other side of town to catch the plane to Santiago del Estero. Not such a problem either, but the next connection doesn't leave for the next 12 hours. or something along those lines. Everyone coming from abroad is stuck with a similar schedule but it's a pleasure to go because the hospitality, weather and good supercross BMX race track make up for the long hours on the road.
