There's also this site that tracks prices in numerous places in the world including here. http://bpp.mit.edu/

Unfortunately, this place is always expensive for Argentina. That said, they do have "off season" rates. Admittedly, the views are some of the most impressive I've seen at any hotel. That said, there is a public bus that stops there and you can stay at a more reasonable bed and breakfast and...

I haven't found any Sushi or Mexican food that compares to anything in the states. But then again, this isn't the states and that's what I like about it;-)

I guess I may as well share this so someone else doesn't have this happen. Despite all my reading, and all my preparedness, I still got caught by the "do you know what time it is scam?" First, I'm so stuck between languages I didn't even realize he was speaking english until afterwards...

We have 2 phones. 1 Blackberry and the other a Nokia 1200. Each uses a local Movistar SIM card. When my wife's SIM card is in the Nokia phone she can't receive text messages, all other functions work. When it's in my Blackberry it works fine with all functions. When I place my SIM card in...

This is the kind of stuff that makes it difficult for legitimate renters. That said, we've rented in 3 different places now and 2 of them asked for first and last months rent plus deposit. This basically means for anything short of 3 months you are receiving everything up front. Any serious...

They wouldn't take my American Express for some reason. I plan on buying tickets tomorrow when they except other credit cards. Hopefully there will be good seats left. Dwight

There is a boat that goes directly to Montevideo on Buquebus, took me about 3 hours and avoids an almost 3 hour bus ride from Colonia. The country side is interesting but I preferred looking at the water myself. It only runs twice a day though. Dwight

I'm posting this again since my post was buried in the thread. Instead of starting a new thread I'll bump this to the top again. Does anyone have some kind of a regular poker game that they need an occasional alternate for? Or maybe a new regular depending on the night. Not looking for...

Instead of starting a new thread I'll bump this to the top again. Does anyone have some kind of a regular poker game that they need an occasional alternate for? Or maybe a new regular depending on the night. Not looking for anything serious just a fun diversion sometime during the week...

I've been asked to take back US bills with tears, stains, and writing. This is not the first foreign country I've had this problem in. Always best to scan your bills before travel abroad and exchange possible problem bills for clean one. Oh yeah, some places won't take brand new bills either...

If it's truly all ages and levels I would play.

Just saw the good Doctor today and he was very professional and spoke enough english that we had no problems communicating. Highly recommend him.

I live only a couple blocks from here and I went over for the Argentina game. It was very fun and CronicaTV was there interviewing fans during and after the game. I'll be heading back in a few minutes for the US v England game (have to change colors... go USA). I defintely don't feel like I was...

Just find a store on Florida street with TV's in the window. There will be huge crowd watching and you can take in all the street music. Beware valuables in the crowd. There are also a couple places in Palermo Soho (just walk around) that are sport bar like. Dwight

There is a small store here in San Telmo, Chile between Chacabuco and Piedra, that sells futbol jerseys. Haven't checked out the prices however. Dwight

We used Las Lunas to help us clear our dog through customs and they were excellent. Very professional and responsive. We have not used them for boarding yet. www.las-lunas.com.ar The following was highly recommended to us by a porteno who boards here dog here. We have not had the need to...

Pericles, Thank you for being a gracious host. Carly and I enjoyed meeting everyone. Dwight PS - Let me know if we owe you any more for out portion of the meal.

As Carly and I are new to these events, what name will the reservation be under (or even better, is there a secret password)? Although, I'm guessing this will be the only table of 20 at the restaurant;-) Dwight

My wife and I would like to attend. Dwight and Carly
