    I was required to use a 3rd party agent because on United (the airline I needed to take) animals that are too big for the cabin can only fly as cargo versus excess baggage. If they are flying cargo the rule is you can't do it yourself and it's much more expensive. I believe that most airlines...

    Xoom - Got Money No Problem (Well, Almost)

    I've done many transactions there as well and this is the first time it happened. He didn't put it through the money counter - he handed it to me folded in 3 separate bunches the way they do in cuevas sometimes. In a cueva I would always count - there I didn't bother. I realized there was one...

    I don't normally deal in cash the way I do here. No need.

    Xoom - Got Money No Problem (Well, Almost)

    I know - I was lazy and didn't do it. I'm leaving BsAs in a few weeks and I suppose this kind of thing makes leaving a bit easier. I don't want to have to think about this stuff...there's better places to place one's energy :)

    Xoom - Got Money No Problem (Well, Almost)

    Hi all, Wanted to report in that although I've overstayed the 90 day visa I was able to get money from Xoom (More Money/Libertad) no problem. Although when I got home I noticed the guy had skimmed 300 pesos off the top - handed me 3 1K peso stacks that I stupidly didn't count (there were 9...

    Good - advice. Thank you. I wasn't going to sedate him because everything I've read has said not to - especially because drugs have such a stronger affect at higher altitudes. I've got a pheromone collar and some natural spray that is supposed to calm them. Can't hurt...I hope he just sleeps...

    Thank you...Very interesting indeed. I'm just wondering the logistics of that type of arrangement. He's too big to fit under the seat in a carrier - I would imagine I'd have to sort of have him in my lap or something...the thing is, he's really not the laid back type. I can imagine him barking...

    I feel like going through the red tape of qualifying myself as someone in need of a service dog would be more complicated than just paying the fee...Although with the stress of this move I might actually fall under the guidelines!

    Another note on this subject (which I just now found out about). If you want to fly your pet on United (as I was encouraged to do over American Airlines for the safety of the pet) and they can't fit in the cabin, you will need to check them as cargo (even if you are on the same flight) because...
