I like that idea on a trip to Rio de Janeiro after Vegas. Cedar , if you stay up the Amazon where the banannas grow it is still cheap. I cannot speak with authority on the subject, just hours of research. Have been shopping for a vacation home in S. America for a long while, am not the world traveler yet. Just retired and looking for something different and cheaper.

PaulTiger, I have tried making the Brazil National drink using the sugar cane rum up here in the USA. Very potent drink but most likely a pale comparison to the actual thing. As we tread our way through proper subject matter, I am kind of like the rest of the board when it comes to getting off subject of KXL . But if we can't have a cordial exchange of pleasantries along with our KXL then what good is it?
