Business Trip - What should I take?

[Caballero]

I'm looking for some advice for an upcoming trip to Argentina. I live in Miam and it is currently spring in Argentina, so weather should not be an issue. I always try to pack at least two suits and two pairs of shoes, as will be standing for long periods of time.

The suits will probably be nuetral colors (gray and blue) to allow me to pair them with different shirt/ties combinations.

Any suggestions?

I typically have 2 ways of doing this:

1. packing light - 2 suits, 3 shirts, 3 boxers, 3 socks, 1 pair shoes, 3 ties and do laundry on the road. this is best when you aren't going to be with the same people for more than 2 days and you can do hotel laundry.

2. travel heavy - take what ever you feel you need - a shirt per day, 2-3 suits, 2 or more shoes, causual clothes and gym clothes.

I aim for the first when ever I can. sorry I can't be more specific about BA, thats one place I haven't trotted.

thanks for the suggestions. I also try to pack as light as possible.

Caballero -

I agree with Globetrotter's advice.

A word about Argentina, if you haven't been there before: be prepared, especially if you will be in Buenos Aires, to see the most beautiful women in the world. It is an incredible place...

Caballero, you'll find BA not only a lovely city -- about as Parisian as you'll find in the southern hemisphere -- but about as businesslike as you'll find in Latin America. That means that men always wear coat and tie, generally suits, and generally somewhat subdued. I doubt you'd go wrong with blues and grays.

And, yes, the women are beautiful.
