I'm also here with the full line of Schwab accounts...very nice for avoiding fees. And their customer service is awesome. They're a full service brokerage and although they've adjusted quite a bit towards more low cost accounts, the people still are amazingly knowledgeable and helpful. And by...

Well the site wasn't working until around 9:30 yesterday so I had time to get everything in order (EXCEPT my ticket for travel, since I didn't want to book my bus ticket in advance...my plan was to try to explain that I would stop at Iguazu on the Argentine side and could not get a ticket into...

Any other recommendations? It seems Owen is on vacation for a month, and Louise is moving to florida...my back is killing me and I want to get a deep tissue massage. I emailed someone on craigslist and she quoted $200 for 1 hour 15 minutes. It sounds like a gringo price, I'm a student so...

Hi - I'm 29, American, arriving in BsAs on Saturday. If anyone would like to meet up next week that would be great! Brett

Hola, I'm a 29 year old American, moving to Buenos Aires on Saturday. I'm leaving my job and planning to study Spanish full time for 4-5 months, then travel through the rest of Argentina and South America. Just wanted to say hello...I'm glad I found this forum and I've already come across...
