This was exactly my question before we arrived for a two month vacation, so go back on the threads and see the comments. In the end, as Canadian residents, we opted for Western Union who has a direct withdrawal from our accounts with our ScotiaBank. For $999CAD, we pay a $18 CAD fee and it's...

Thanks so much for your feedback! Ian

We missed the 27th meeting as we went to Colonia for the day (bit of a tourist trap it seems!). It was good to meet Michael, Susan, Dominique, Samantha and Jerry at the 20th coffee meeting and look forward to seeing them again on March 6th. By the by, does anyone have a suggestion how to get...

Henry: Is the group meeting on February 20th? My wife and I missed the 6th and 13th due to other things we were doing. Cheers, Ian

We brought our Android TV Box with us from Canada to access English language TV during our stay and .... it got damaged in transit! We can get a few channels by activating the SAP button, but only a few. Any suggestions as to how we can get an English language TV package for two months would...

Hi Julian: Pablo and I have been in contact and thanks so much again for the referral. Ian

We've just arrived in BsAs for our two month stay and inquire when the next coffee chat is taking place as my wife and I would like to join you. Thanks, Ian

....phew! Thanks for the confirmation! Ian

gracias!

Hi Henry! My wife and I are in BA in 10 days time so would indeed like to meet some other folks for coffee - I didn't see the ads though, so perhaps you could give me an address and meeting time? Cheers, Ian
