Thanks for that insight and info Naplesguy, I mean On The Go, er, I mean Urban Wildlife, er, uh, I mean Delta Pilot. Oh, and I almost forgot Blackhawk. Sorry if I left off any of your handles.

You...

Bilbo:

For several months the Colombia forum has been swamped by newbies posting all manner of bullshit, stupid questions, and false claims.

IF, you don't fall into that category then my bad. I...

Almo:

This is the first mention of an incident on *this* board.

I'm sure they'll get it sorted out. They always do.

All the best, Schwmm

It's my opinion that in recent months the overall quality of the posts in the Colombia thread has declined. (Anyone care to comment on this first point?)

But that's not the main reason for this...

Greg doesn't need to respond.

Anytime someone pops up with no track record on this board and starts making claims and assertions that are completely at variance with what the regular members know...

Theeere ya go again.

And multiple handles huh? Oh, that's clever too.

Who exactly needs to get a life here?

Merry Christmas Bro,

Checkmate, I'm out

Flowers (the bigger the better) and cards. Regardless of the strata.

Pretty universal stuff.

Maybe food or drink for the wake. Depending on yours and their circumstances.

Sorry, Schwmm

This forum has been around a lot longer than you and has always covered a broad range of topics related to the region in general.

Who are you to just pop up, make wild claims & accusations, and...

Sorry, website for Hotel Sorrento is:

And while I'm back, any place called "Aparthotel" is a hotel with apartment like units. Usually implies a full kitchen.

BB:

Thanks for the report. Based on your info, I won't bother trying out SM on future trips. I'll just go back to El Rodadero.

A totally cool place if you're really into the Latin scene. As...

If you do find a source for apartments in Killa please post it here. I've been going there for years and never found one. Not that I looked that hard but I did some. When I first started going there...

Nobody said don't go.

Just that it's highly inadvisable to go overland at this time.

BP:

Very good and timely advice.

Agreed.

Especially for someone like Mr 3 reports who claims he knows people who know me.

Sheesh! Unbelieveable.

Allright! Washouts, massive mudslides, and ALSO flooding in the highlands.

There are bridges washed out by flooded rivers, roads closed by mudslides all over the place, reservoirs are maxed out,...

Hans:

OK thanks. Good info. At least the travel time isn't affected that much although I imagine the detour is not as good as the main road.

The report I saw said it will take almost a year to...

Dude, I hear ya but;

Recommending to THAT dude to take MORE drugs?

Not sure that's the best advice. LOL

It's a good question. I see Caracol TV news almost everyday and for the past month the broadcasts have been mostly flood related reports. Large swaths of the country are flooded, including the...

Improvemnts in store for Sosua? Good point.

Causes one to ponder a return visit.

Thanks Sir Charles!

To all: First off please bear with me for one last post on this. Believe me, I heeearr the howls fron north to south and back again.

Luck: It's not just the genre. Several of her characters...

Almotu:

Hard to pick a winner between Sofia & Vanessa.

Both look SWeeet!

The Mansion!!! Still reigns supreme.

Thanks, Schwmm

Allthough her books make for some entertaining reading, Allende largely copied Gabo.

I wouldn't count her high on the list.

Oh, far out dude!

And don't try to tell me that I don't get it.

I've read more Latin American literature, including Gabo, than 95% of the guys on this board. Maybe 99%. I estimate...

No shit Greg!

There's so much ridiculousness in his original post that I skipped over that one.

Cheers, Schwmm

Well, before I add my 02 cents that I know is going to sound harsh, I too am glad that you posted the question in order to get some honest feedback.

And to get some sense slapped into you.

It...

So, what's the Israel connection?

Please explain.
