BrazilThere are many reasons to encourage myself to travel to Brazil. For one, it has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Not only does it have a beach, It also has a magnificent rainforest that is home to many species that are on the verge of extinction. It seems to be a perfect place to explore many once in a lifetime experiences and opportunities.

There will be a long layover therefore, I will explore the airport and wait until 9:35pm to depart from there and take a 9 hour and 44 minute plane ride to Rio de Janeiro. I will be arriving at 8:19am and I will be ready to start a fun vacation. I plan on staying at Sheraton Barra Hotel &Suites in their largest suite rooms.
