A few days ago I stopped at a local gas station just outside CABA for a coffee. $3.85 was charged to my credit card. I mentioned it to a friend who lives in Brooklyn, which is inside New York City. He said that a cup of coffee at his local gas stations is $2. No wonder people here are...

I've been using Mercado Libre regularly for a long time. Now I'm locked out because, no matter what I do, its facial recognition rejects me. Are there any good alternatives to Mercado Libre?

I'll appreciate a referral for an electrician that has experience installing Starlink.

Its my understanding that the car rental companies are required to include a token (small amount) of liability insurance. I should have said that I need a liability policy with higher limits.

We drove from Cartagena to the Santa Marta Marriott Resort Playa Dormida, near the airport. Most of the restaurants and shops we visited were in that area. We made several trips downtown and to the Minca and beaches on the other side of the park but we had drivers during our stay and that...

Nope, didn't like Gaza although, as of two years ago, the people were friendly and charming. Are you sure you were in the Sta Marta in Colombia? Perhaps I didn't have the same experience because I didn't look for nude beaches and ate at restaurants with table cloths. Whatever, We enjoyed it...

My last trip to Maui was in the late 1990's. I always found it to be indistinguishable from Florida except that Maui had mountains and much, much higher prices. I was in Sta Marta 2 years ago. We drove from one end to the other during our stay and never saw anything unpleasant. Good...
