In a car Google maps says it takes 13 hours, so I'm assuming that a bus would take longer than that. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source...ie=UTF8&z=7 -------------------- My most recent blog: Weezer in Toronto with Shylo

Rio to Sao Paulo is 6 hours. http://www.autoviacao1001.com.br/pt/ Sao Paulo to Florianopolis is 10 hours. http://www.catarinense.net/pt/ Boa sorte -------------------- www.miami-beach-travelguide.com

TAM airlines requires you to have a Brazilian ID number that matches the credit card you're using. But just a quick check showed me that a flight from GIG or SDU to FLN will be R$469 or more... Don't know what your budget is. -------------------- Currently traveling the world on the company's dime...it's the cheapest way to go!!! Quote from my friend Chuck, who spent 5 months riding his bicycle all the way around the USA - "Nobody says you have to order an entree in the restaurant of life, you'll only be here once! Order the sampler, try as many as you can before you're full; odds are one (of) the items on this menu does more for you than you ever thought. And if I'm wrong, tell the waiter that his menu sucks, throw the cook aside and invent your own masterpiece. Just pour 'em all in, all your favorite ingredients. With enough imagination, any combination will work -- there are no recipes for the paths still awaiting discovery."
