Posted these a few days ago as an afterthought in my post in "travel announcements." It has since occurred to me that I'm more likely to get a response in the BC thread.

One question and one...

... and will be landing atound 1pm. Short trip. Leaving early that next Tuesday (October 18). Been there MANY times before, but not in past 4 years.

Arriving late Saturday (3/5/11). Departing Thursday. Second time in MDE.

Staying at Rocky's for the umpteenth time.

I've done this Spirit flight. It's not TOO bad on a weekday, when the Sosua-bound busses depart just after 7am. But on a Sunday, the earliest bus out is like 9:20am. So I had to kill nearly 6 hours...

Anyone bothering to read the following report might benefit from some limited information about its author. I'm a married, 51 year old monger whose mid-life crisis has manifest itself with a series...

I arrived Friday, and paid 48K and tipped 2K from MDE to Poblado. I stumbled upstairs looking for an ATM, and found a driver a level above where most hang out.

I spent two nights in a hostal in...

I'm gonna take one for the team and try a night or two here next weekend. Got the private room for 65,000 COP. Will post report Sunday.

Will move from there to Laureles - and would welcome...

First trip to Colombia. Will probably stay in Laurelas area, but other lodging opinions / advice is welcome.

Any other ISG folks who'll be there at same time, please PM and we'll meet for a beer....
