    Anyone flown to Miami via Rio (GIG)?

    Thanks for the replies. I will give TAM a call in the morning to find out if the baggage is checked all the way thru. Looking at booking a day pass for the AA lounge as we have just been bumped in Miami for our flight to New york the next day. Looks like it's good in multiple airports during...

    Anyone bought us$ this week?

    I was told the same thing at the cambio houses trying to get GBP instead of $. You need atm receipts to prove you withdrew the money here (this is where I fail) as a bank statement etc. is not accepted. You could go to AFIP and complete some forms but I feel this is intrusive so I'm going to...

    somewhere to recharge the batteries?

    I have friends in Montevideo and I'm going for New Years. I know Punta del Este is a snobby place but before peak season maybe it's chilled out or as someone said dead. Punta del diablo seems like might sort of place - I think if I go to Chile I won't want to come back to BA! Any suggestions...

    Anyone bought us$ this week?

    I'm going to try again tomorrow - My own situation is more of a one of situation and not a regular need/wish to buy $. I'm just curious as the UYU pesos seems to have taken a hit as a result - last week it went down to 2:1 but is back up around 3:1 yet the xe rate is steady at 4.5. my plan B is...

    somewhere to recharge the batteries?

    Hi, I've been in BA about 8 months now and dealing with the authorities obtaining my residency, learning Spanish from scratch and job hunting without documents has taken it's toll. I got my documents but rather than being happy I'm just relieved. I have started the job hunt again but I'm not...

    Anyone bought us$ this week?

    I got shutdown as well. I took a printed statement but Metropolis wanted the ATM statement to prove it was not a fake but I can only obtain a balance from the ATM's. Going to try Banco Piano again as they were a bit confused despite proof of over $10000pesos withdrawn they said only a receipt...

    National Hockey League

    As a hardcore NHL'er I have been streaming all the games and hooking up my tv. ESPN show U.S. baseball/nfl and basketball here but not ice hockey. It's strange as las pumas are huge. If you find a bar with a U.S sat stream let us know. Also where does jonesing come from? Is it like being...

    How easy to open US$ a/c in the states?

    I guess I will just have to give it a try when I'm over there. BAC and Citi have taken a hammering in the market lately, hopefully they sort themselves out. Panama could be an option as a lot of flights connect there but how stable is it? I guess these days nothing is certain, even in the States!

    Restaurant advice

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. The Mexican place was recommended to me by a local who likes heat believe or not. My own experience of cooking for the in-laws has been a bit of a disaster as any spice is treated like poison! I will take my family out to try some veggie places and I'm...

    Thanks for the quick response - My uncle and aunt live out in Portland. I guess I need to get in touch with them! I will be in Miami/Orlando/New York next year and was hoping to do it then. Also does anyone know how much are you allowed to bring into the US before declaring it?

    Hi, Being a brit pounds are not really of use so like the locals I am saving in $. Since it looks like I will be staying here for awhile, I was curious as to how easy it is to open up an account in the States as a tourist.
