He'll ask you what time was your appointment for and request to look at your...

    Expedited Emergency Passport renewal?

    I’m in the same situation as you. I’m hoping I can get it ASAP as I would also like to travel to NYC in July. Most likely it will be mailed back to you via DHL but will ask about getting it faster when I go there next week. I’ll keep you posted.

    Moving to Argentina with myeloma cancer

    You being from the UK, I’m surprised nobody mentioned the British Hospital here in the city. It was founded in 1844. A lot of the local celebrities get treated there so I believe it is highly regarded. From the outside looks very clean and modern in spite of being 179 y.o. They have an oncology...

    WU reduction fee

    I use Xoom to transfer money from my US bank account to my Santander account here in BA. If you transfer anything over U$D 300 then there's no transfer fee if you do it bank to bank. Maybe the rate is not as good as WU but I love the hassle free aspect of it.

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

    Aerolineas Argentinas, JetSmart and FlyBondi have flights from EZE to Cordoba. If I were you I would just book two ticket to Cordoba right from Ezeiza airport. It might be cheaper faster and safer that trying to go by land. You might have to pay a bit more for the extra pieces of luggage. But...

    Alberto will not run for second term

    This Thursday Cristina is due to give a "Master's Class" in La Plata in front of her minions on who knows what. Total self serving BS as usual. But it might interesting to see who she plugs as the possible presidential candidate. I think this is the beginning of the end of Kirchnerism...
