As my time in Argentina is coming to a close, NYU decided to take us to Puerto Iguazú, home of one of the seven wonders of the world! It was amazing and felt like I was on a "luxury" vacation most of the time! This was the trip of a lifetime but did not come without some sacrifices.

First off, NYU paid for our flights, accommodations and food for the entire trip! I am super grateful that I only had to pay for some extra stuff like souvenirs and extra drinks and snacks...but then we were told that we had to meet up at the airport at 3:00 a.m. ...so two hours of sleep and a 45-minute Uber ride (sorry, I took a car this time), Edgar and I made it to the airport feeling like zombies. Despite the sleep deprivation getting to me, I was super excited and energized, the adrenaline of going to Iguazú was pumped throughout my entire body. We then waited at the airport for two and a half hours! Why, I do not know, but that gave me and my group of friends enough time to yap, snack and play some Legends of Zelda (I played for a good 90 minutes.) We then started boarding, but little did we know that we had to take a bus to get to our plane! It was nice, having a good third of the plane sardined into a bus.
