Looks like Aerolíneas will no longer fly to NYC starting in August, leaving only 2 carriers (American and Delta) with that route. Not sure if prices will tick up as a result, but currently Avianca is flying to NYC via Bogota for $620 (bare bones economy) which is lowest I’ve seen for years...

Quick question. My wife and I are traveling to Argentina in late December to visit family. While we do plan on bringing dollars to exchange at a cueva, there will be times where it is more convenient for me to use my Visa card - that said, I don’t want to get too screwed on the exchange rate...

Hi all, One of our nieces is visiting us from BA - we live in NYC. She always brings us a few things from Argentina that we can’t get here, but usually these are sweets like alfajores/titas/bonafide,etc. Since we are already well stocked on those, does anyone have suggestions on what to bring...

Hi Everyone, We are helping my niece buy a car in BA. Looking for a good, reliable, used car - but hoping to get some advice on where to look. Obviously you don't have Carfax like we do in the US, so I'm trying to get some ideas on where or how to buy a used car and have some confidence that...

For those that are in the business, or follow closely - wondering if rents (in pesos) are going up or staying about the same? Logically, it would seem that there are 2 drivers to push up rents - inflation (and expectation of more given peso issues), and higher demand (more people selling...

Hoping a few experienced members can provide some information regarding the current rules or regs regarding apartment rentals. I have an apartment in Las Canitas that is finally ready to rent (had to have some modest renovations which took forever!). A few questions: 1. Do I have to offer a...

Hi Folks, I recently started a new blog - called Someday...Maine - to post about my various interests - travel, food, wine, and other things I am interested in. While some of the posts will be related to Maine (my home state, and where I own a house), it will also include posts about Argentina...

In the next few years, I plan on living in Argentina part-time (less than 6 months of the year to avoid bienes personales), and likely in the US the other 6 months. I will be living on investment income. My wife and I have OSDE in Argentina. I'm trying to sort out what I will do for the part...

Queation for you experts. Do the DNI numbers for extranjeros have a different format? I am waiting on my DNI card from Migraciones, but the receipt/confirmation they gave me when I left their office has my DNI number. The only problem is that it has 7 digits, unlike my wife's DNI (she is...

Hi all, I am in the process of buying some new appliances for our kitchen. I've found a stove that I like - but I don't have experience with this brand, so hoping someone might be able to tell me anything they know about Morelli stoves. It's a gas cocina - I like to cook and really focused on...

Probably a strange question for some, but wondering if anyone knows if there is any place you could buy medialuna dough? My wife is in BA for a week, and I thought she might be able to bring some frozen dough back with her - not sure it will stay frozen for the flight, but I think its typically...

I really haven't posted here much, but enjoy reading the forum. While I don't currently live in Argentina, my wife is Argentinian and we plan on moving back to BA at some point. I follow the new in Argentina quite closely - I really like to follow politics - and regularly read La Nacion and...

Couple of questions for retirees (or others they may want to comment) - has anyone lived in both places? Are there reasons for choosing one over the other (crime, economic stability, political stability, etc.)? I haven't been to Uruguay, but I plan on moving to BA for a couple of years (I am...
