Hello

My partner and I are planning on Argentina (and a bit of Chile) for our honeymoon in March next year. We will have almost three weeks. At the moment we are planning on sticking to a more limited area and not flying down south as we want to minimise the amount of time in airports and balance out the exploring with some relaxing as well as will be knackered after the wedding. We are particularly interested in the wine area as well as some city exploring. Basically I want to eat steak, drink wine, and just absorb being there for three weeks.

This is my vague plan at the moment. Are there any bits that aren’t worth it, or any obvious easy to add places?

Day 1-4 Buenos Aires (then 4 hour ish bus to)
Day 5-6 Rosario (then 4 hour ish bus to)
Day 7-8 Cordoba (then fly to)
Day 9-12 Salta / Cafayate area (then fly to)*
Day 13-18 Mendoza vineyards (then probably fly, maybe drive)
Day 19-21 Santiago / Valparaiso

*or hire a car and make this bit into a road trip down to Mendoza over a few days as it looks beautiful

I think I probably need to shave off one or two days to account for travel time from the uk. Now I’m looking at it, I also wonder whether doing it reverse would also be more relaxing, starting with the bit with less moving around.

Any thoughts or advice would be super welcome!

I’m struggling to work out how you are supposed to shop for dresses when you are more than a size 8 or 10. I have appointments booked for Saturday, and one of the shops has said that out of 14 dresses I selected, they only have 4 in stock and only one at a size 14 and this is apparently completely normal. I don’t know how I’m supposed to try anything on if all shops have to try on are sample sizes. I’m not dragging my mum and friend round to watch me be humiliated that I can’t get any dresses over my knees, let alone spending thousands of pounds on something I can’t see.

I’m in London and don’t have a particularly tight budget, where am I supposed to go to actually try something on without being humiliated?

Edit: I’ve looked at various plus size shops but they don’t have the type of dress I want. I don’t want big and floaty, I want structured and form fitting (and ideally lace). The problem with structured is that if the sample size won’t go over my bum there’s not really a lot that can be done with pinning and being clever.
