Photo by UnTourist Ron Anderson As you may know, we had the inaugural Unny Awards just recently. These awards are our way of recognizing the regions which have welcomed UnTours all these years.

1. Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour. We went to Buenos Aires in 2010. Our dollars went very far in Argentina and we had some spectacular meals at great restaurants for one third to one half of what they would cost in the States. There was a very small time change…
