    Situational awareness / the need of vigilance

    I used to think I would blend in, but I'm starting to think otherwise. My wife definitely will not. We've already taken measures to ensure our phone and money will remain safe and unsnatchable while we're out though (not without some real effort at least). Still, we now know we'll stick out...

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    That's actually the thread my latest post about Tylenol was based off of (the one I'm quoting below). Thanks for the link though. I tried to do my due diligence and search the forum before posting but didn't come up with much (and sadly didn't find the thread you posted until just yesterday)...

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    Appreciate all the informative replies. Good to know there are pharmacy's on every corner but I think I'll bring an extra large bottle of extra strength pain killers as it sound more cost effective at the very least. Thanks again for all the great info, just what I needed.

    How to hire a van to take us from BA to Cordoba?

    Thanks. We've had that site bookmarked for awhile now, though google auto translate leaves some to be desired. It also mentions SENSA but I don't think it's saying we must contact them ahead of time to authorize our pets for entry like another site said. For the most part I do think we'll be...

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    I came across a thread from a year ago of another person asking for advice on things to bring into Argentina upon moving there and Tylenol was mentioned and never disputed (many of the suggestions were ironically). Just curious if extra strength pain killers would be hard to find our should I...

    How to hire a van to take us from BA to Cordoba?

    To an extent, yes. But every other list of requirements we look at lists same, similar, and different requirements, most of which we have done or will do, but one or two which seem really farfetched (calling Argentina's government agency SENSA to authorize the pets for travel?) or that don't...

    How to hire a van to take us from BA to Cordoba?

    We're also taking a cat and a dog, so that adds to the flying complications which is another reason we prefer a pickup. Two tickets plus excess baggage fees and pet fees (and paperwork and processing, assuming they'll need it, every flight we're taking to get there up until now does) make me...

    How to hire a van to take us from BA to Cordoba?

    Ah, very useful information indeed. Big thanks elhombresinnombre and Macanudo (and carride again) for the advice and details and instructions. The information you provided has been both very detailed and helpful and I'm sure will help me get the ball rolling. Probably right, since we won't be...

    How to hire a van to take us from BA to Cordoba?

    K, sounds like that site was wayyyyy off base and severely distorted my price expectations - so $100 will barely make it out of BA. Really appreciate all the answers and explanations. Thanks a ton for this, very useful, I'll give them a go and see if they can beat the offers we got so far...

    How to hire a van to take us from BA to Cordoba?

    Could someone lend some advice on how I might go about finding a taxi/van/transport service to take my wife and I, as well as about 8 suitcase (thus a van, not a car) from the airport (EZE) to Cordoba? We used the website...

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    Thanks the confirmation of many of the things on my list, as well as a few extra that made me double check. I'm not a vegan so here's hoping the local supplements will fulfill my basic dietary needs, ha. Appreciate the luck as well, really looking forward to Cordoba. :) It's my pleasure, and...

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    Ah right, understood. I had actually already planned on using that strategy - avoiding withdraws and credit cards if at all possible and just using cash (WU and online transfers), but it's still nice to know the card can help me avoid excessive charges those times when I might need it. We're...

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    I was able to confirm with someone via PM that the CS card does in fact use the MEP rate for purchases, so it it looks like there's pretty much no reason not to get one at this point. I'll definitely be picking one up. Thank you for the advice! Thanks, location/site bookmarked. Will...

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    China and Argentina use the same voltage, so we'll be safe when it comes to plugging things in. They also share 2 of 3 outlet types, and we're bring a dozen little converters to take care of any that don't match just to be safe. Will be bring my router for sure. Unfortunately I don't thin we...

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    Thank you everyone for all the very helpful replies. I just spent the better half of the last 5 hours sifting through the forums, looking for and reading posts. Many of the posts I found regarding bringing things were in threads that had to do with other topics (such as immigration, banking...
