I'm disappointed that it's not Chicago, but Rio should be great! They'll have nice spring weather...

When was the last one in Central or South America? Was that Mexico?

I would have loved Chicago but I think South America has been long overdue for one.

I don't think it's so bad that the US has to wait a bit for the next one, sometimes the wait makes everything better.

Last time I checked, Mexico was part of North America.

Oops, my mistake.

I should have said "Latin America" instead.
