SO: After what still seems like a whopping number of months of planning, I have arrived here. I wanted to let this Forum know how much I have appreciated reading the posts, the forums and the information available here; It has proven to truly be exactly as the advertised wealth of info was...

I should have returned to my own post sooner, but I guess I got occupied - so sorry: Sockhopper has a very good point, but I had thought their forwarding is time-limited, and as others have pointed out, forwarding may not even be the desired option in many cases... either as a result of its...

This brings up an important point for me: I currently live in Vancouver (and am moving to BsAs) and would like to use such a service as ComingToArg indicates using. Several such services seem based in the US; obvious worries over security and confidentiality linger... Does anybody from Canada /...

Ah, well, that settles it, then: I'm actually travelling through the US, and across it, before actually heading south... so.. And, I never even thought of any period-of-validity. MUCH obliged, there, Crema Americana. QUITE helpful, indeed! And, here I was thinking ahead and planning to get done...

ElQueso: Indeed, thanks for weighing in on your post - much appreciated. As I had tried guessing ahead of time, your issues were simply that such report was the only one you needed but it went back that far. So, the only reason I would therefore need US FBI is if the birthplace country became an...

Rich One: There are a couple of individuals whose regular comments within these forums I've followed. I couldn't agree with you more. I shall do exactly that. MUCH obliged! Paul

Ah, yes, Montauk_Project: The ol' Agent 86 "Which wicket to visit, this time, to get which answer is the right one?" question... The only thing constant is the constant stage of change. I know... one can never be fully prepared: One can fuss and not need to have; or, one can be cavalier and...

Folks, there's always a wealth of very great advice available, here, so I am asking once more - 4 questions. I was born in the US, but I have lived in Canada pretty much almost exclusively since 1980-ish (I realize that's fudgy-sounding - there's detail below, and elsewhere). I am currently a...

Thanks, franksredhots... truly... but for a man who doesn't really even want to have / own / drive a car, there... that's gonna be a bit of a somewhat difficult place for me to consider, I think! I 'get' the beauty of the tranquility, peace, calm, distance, security and price, especially...

Wow, I've got to admit, franksredhots, that I hadn't considered Pilar... Agreed, cheaper... DEFINITELY nicer... but just a bit too far for those once- twice-weekly visits into town that I may make? I think you're right, though: Tigre isn't top-o'-the-line... but as of now, I wouldn't rate it at...

Dublin2BuenosAires points out a particular element of Tigre living that, in fact, I actually have already considered: Fortunately for me, regular commuting for work or other purposes will not be required, so to- and from-train station distances aren't any real concern for me, I don't think. I am...

Ah, nice one, franksredhots! Truly. I find myself absolutely amazed and very thankful for the generosity of this community: I've been doing online research for ages and while I've come up with an awful lot of info on my own, already, and I've discovered truly many things and learned very much...

MUCH obliged, expat1321 ! Paul

Thank you, Matiasba. Your thinking is very similar to mine. I'm hoping that somebody reading this forum either has lived, currently lives or knows someone who actually lives in the downtown Tigre area and who can quote some examples that they may know having some direct experience. It may be a...

Howdy, once again, folks - and New Year's greetings! I'm wondering if, among members, there might be any experience with apartment rental amounts in Tigre: I expect to be moving there and need to get a range of likely monthly rental amounts, there - in whatever currency. I don't yet know for...

My sincerest apologies for taking a bit of time to respond, finally, here: Many thanks for all the tips and responses. I mean that, sincerely! You guys are great! I note that there's some minor divide over exactly where to head, but for safety's sake and being that it's a first-time arrival...

Hello, again! I've booked my flight and will be landing at AEP. I need the Mitre line to Tigre. It seems that Retiro Station is just a bit farther from AEP than Belgrano C station on the Mitre line is; however, I also note that - for example, travelling via taxi - calle La Pampa, coming...

Interesting comments about Tigre, I must say. I had originally planned on staying in the usual places in the big city but I do have an absent friend that has an apartment in Tigre, hence that idea really just emerged almost out of nowhere. I had been trying to do research about floods, there...

Wow - you folks are absolutely fantastic: Thank you - these are helpful links, useful tips, thought-out replies... and very much appreciated. I cannot wait to be among you. Ah, the architecture... yes, as someone who was in Montreal every week - sometimes just for hours but sometimes for...

OP, here: Very helpful replies, all. I've been reading the extensive website here. One reply clearly advocates for use of this (and other) Forum(s) and the wider ex-pat group website, and I have, I am and I intend to continue doing so... very, very much. There's a lot to read. I'm still...
