    where to buy gym equipment

    Actually, I have a degree in Kinesiology so thanks for the advice but I might just stick with what I trained in. Your body needs a variety of workouts and can get used to things like push-ups and sit-ups (though I do both) so I like to have the options of doing different workouts. But I...

    what is up with the machinery in pedicures

    Hi gals, I have had two pedicures in my time here in BA and both times they have had a room full of crazy machines...it seems more like a workshop than a nice little something for the feet. Now my feet aren't perfect but there is no way they require heavy machinery to pretty them up. Is this...

    Are there any (or ever) cheap flight to NZ from BA

    Thanks for the responses...even the creative ones! Just hoping that there might be a comparable flight to Aerolineas because they are pretty awful. The last two flights I have been on with them have been delayed a considerable amount of time. But I guess they will have to do...

    Are there any (or ever) cheap flight to NZ from BA

    Hey all, We might end up flying to NZ at some point but last time we flew Aerolineas it was...well what you'd expect (delays, poor service but the cheapest we could find). Are there any other carriers who fly to NZ for reasonable prices? Or any suggestions on getting to NZ relatively cheaply.

    Using a credit card from overseas

    I was thinking about using my credit card to buy a few higher priced items but I believe there is an extra percentage added on here? Is this correct? Also, has anyone had any problems using their cards from home here? Thanks!

    Thanks so much - I quite like the feel of it as well but just wanted to see what the general consensus was. What should we expect as far as rents go?

    Hey all I have a phone bought in Mexico for cheap and I wanted to know if it is possible to unlock it here and then get a sim card to use it as is. All I really want to do is be able to text and call...no fancy stuff. Thoughts?

    Mailing items back to Canada by DHL or FEDEX?

    Thanks SaraSara, Is there a specific office you go to? What kind of costs would you say I am looking at? The thing is I don't need the items to arrive super fast but I believe they only have speedy shipping at these two companies.

    Mailing items back to Canada by DHL or FEDEX?

    From what I have read Argentina's postal service is like the rest of Latin Americas in the fact that it is not that reliable. What about DHL or FEDEX? Will things arrive or is it just as bad? I have some camping gear that I'd like to keep but I don't want to carry it all on a plane whenever I...
