Absolutely, Ashley. :) We are contacting a few folks on Mercado Libre today (well, my partner will when she gets home in an hour since my Spanish isn't the best). Ideally we would go to Tandil for the night, locate her at the campsite, then head back in a car the next day (more than likely, my...

Thank you and I will definitely let you know if we do this. My fiancee works at a hospital on weekends and probably can't do a Saturday-Sunday deal, but it's still a bit early to know for sure.

My partner actually suggested something like this. :rolleyes:

Yikes, I was afraid of the cargo thing. But, whatever it takes. We talked to the camping guy yesterday morning a bit and he's not too sympathetic. There are a dozen or more dogs that hang out there and he throws rocks at them (tried to throw some at her but we told him to please not to). He did...

Thanks, guys! We thought about using a bus to take her, but I assumed that any bus going there wouldn't have the special compartment for pets...but to be honest we are not sure. This may work. My partner is thinking about going to Tandil to get her, and bring her back any way possible. If the...

A group of us just got back from a week in Tandil late last night. I don't know how many people have been there and noticed this, but this town is swarming with stray dogs, who stay fed by chilling out near the campsites and a few locals who leave food out for them. Some of these pooches are...

Work on Av. Alvear and Callao...we frequently get surges and the power was out for 4 hours last Thursday. The man at a kiosk one block away, Callao and Quintana, told me that they had no power Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. His coolers and mini freezer were full of spoiled food and melted ice...

Great, thanks guys!

Ok: So there is a group of us going to Tandil (and after, Necochea) on the 18th. The problem is that one person in our group has an expired U.S. Passport. I know we need to present passports when we buy the tickets, but I wonder if having a barely-expired passport will be that big of a...

Happy New Year to you all!

Yeah, there is something going down...I work on Avenida Alvear and around four pm, we were told that chaos was coming our way. We shut the store, waited a bit in the street...heard a few more stories going around (I believe a pharmacy had been attacked or whatever during this time, but I have no...

This was hilarious! I was working on Alvear as usual during the toxic cloud/rainstorm from hell, and my father-in-law was at DOT during the 'attack'. Just when I thought the day couldn't get any worse, it took me 4 hours to get home because none of the buses were running and there were zero...

If sales are down, we are to sprinkle sugar in the doorway. Direct communication just doesn't happen. We often get paid 10 to 15 days late, but you can't approach the owner about this, even to ask when you'll be paid, which is a pretty reasonable question in my book. What you do is tell either...

I was able to watch it fine last night around nine to ten p.m.

We live in my partner's grandmother's house, rent free. She's lives in a retirement home now, and the rest of the family was worried about leaving the house empty. This wasn't the plan when I moved here, but the place is great and we feel really fortunate...especially since I will only be here a...

Agree...where?!

Our store makes nothing. :rolleyes: If I'm not mistaken, our monthly rent is $65,000 a month, the electricity around $650-$800. We've only had a few months where we sold more than it costs to have the place going. Our only saving grace the past few months have been sales from Mercado Libre...

I work on Alvear, smack dab between Cartier and Ralph Lauren, actually. It's been tough because not only because of the imports issue, but this year we haven't had the same sales pop from Brazilian tourists. Only the past 2 weeks have we had any Brazilians in the store at all. We sell watches...

Thanks! Sorry, I just saw this reply now...we're thinking of maybe going here today!

I've gone to Ryan and Raymond and both are awesome! Really nice guys.
