I opted to sell my printer in the US, thinking it’d be easier to just buy one in Argentina (it was a large multifunction, that I too was very fond of! Brother ). I looked around, and the direct replacement was quite expensive here, so I opted for a much less expensive option. However I didn’t...

We’ve been bringing Blanca, our dog, for years. There’s paperwork needed to be done in the US by a vet that has the proper authority. Then send it to your states capital to get the appropriate stamp of approval. When you arrive (Only done this through EZE), you skip the long line for baggage...

I crossed the Esquel border back in March of '07. Flew to Esquel, had an Argentine driver take me to the border, and a Chilean driver pick me up there, and spent an awesome week with the folks at ExChile.com , kayaking and rafting on the Futaleufú river. I believe that the roads on both sides...

I’ll second that!! I used to love to ride!! Riding in Argentina cured me of that!

I moved from Dallas Texas which is AA’s HQ. While living there, Delta changed their req’s for diamond and hiked the credit card spend threshold from $25k to $250k, (really griped me at the time!) so I switched over and tried to like American, I got their credit card and their frequent flyer...

Hmm… Full disclosure, my wife does almost all of the shopping and she doesn’t like cinnamon, so, she may not be looking very hard! I will be looking into that one…

Thieves are by no means exclusive to Argentina! They are everywhere!! In any city in the world with a population over a million (and likely far less) there are parts of town where you can/will get in trouble quickly. We were broken into in Texas, Texas! Everyone has guns!! Anyway, on new...

Is it legal anywhere in Argentina?? I hail from Texas, where I always carried a gun, unless I was carrying two. Everyone I’ve talked to tells me that it’s illegal to carry. Period! I’d love to hear otherwise…

6’3” 250lb, blue eyes, crewcut... blending not an option…

My favorite is a road trip to the winery/s. Take a tour, a tasting, and buy a few cases. Fun times and bring some home!! I'd love to find a good distributor, or even retailer, but even if/when I find one, I'll still be pining for a winery trip! My spanish isn't great so much is lost on me in...

no, sorry not my area of expertise, however if it were me I'd check WSJ, Bloomberg, yahoo finance, and google finance, to get a feel for where the rate should be, and then negotiate from there. My two bits, but again not my area...

Yes, I know Villa Berna! Beautiful! There was a great little restaurant on the way there from VGB, that I was looking forward to making my "Cheers" spot. Alas, they closed shortly after we found it! However the search for it's replacement is becoming an entertaining and delicious challenge!

Hola Y'all! BobbyHank here, we moved to Villa General Belgrano, from Dallas, Tx. awhile ago. Love the people (mostly), the food, wine and exchange rate! Wow, learned so many lessons the hard way since moving here! Thought it time to check out this forum to see if I can learn from others for...

oh, I just thought of another one, vigilance! ie: situational awareness! You said Cordoba, don't know if you meant city or state, but regardless, this applies everywhere. Keep you head on a swivel! I don't mean to sound paranoid, but if you're like me, I don't "blend in" everyone on the...

Congrats, we did the same about a year ago. I commute, and am bringing a couple of suitcases full of "stuff" every time I return. I've always had cutting edge tech. stuffs, but have found that I really don't need the latest and greatest, and may have bought them in the past to impress others...

I think you can buy or exchange just about anything on Florida street in Buenos Aires. Like Alice's Restaurant! I just showed my age didn't I! Watch out for pick pockets!!

I'm not a fan of Aeroparque, or that you have to transfer to/from AEP to EZE for international/intercontinental flights (someone's getting paid!)! When I've got time to kill plane side at AEP I usually find myself in the Hard Rock Cafe, their empanadas are good, and the beer is cold. Haven' t...
