let me know what you think and if all the rooms have private bathrooms. seems very nice.

oh and if you could report back how chica friendly, safe, clean, and quiet this place is that'd be great.

Any younger mongers in this board? I'm 27, south american, but I've been living in the US for the past 10 years. Came to the US to get my college degree, but stayed after I graduated. Since then I've gone on a couple of trips to my native country in South America and enjoyed chica-hunting greatly.

I'm fluent in Spanish, and I'm planning my first trip to Medellin. I've done plenty of research and I think I have enough information to be safe in Medellin.

Right now, the tentative date for my trip to Medellin is April 20th, for 5 days.

I'd like to know if any of you would like to join me, or in the case of experienced travelers in Colombia, would you mind letting me tag along and showing me around?

I think it would be much easier for me going out with guys who already know where the casas and night clubs are. And you gringos might benefit from my Spanish skills.

Please PM me.

Three of us are heading to Med for about a week on April12th. I've been to Arg, Belize, Panama, Honduras and many trips to Havana. My 2 friends are older guys 55 and 60 and don't have too much experience-I speak basic Spanish but they are at the "hola"stage. I'm looking for a nice 3 bedroom apartment and a good english speaking guide to help out mis amigos. Unfortunately the Mansion is full and I was kinda counting on staying there. My fault for not booking earlier.

Thanks in advance

Try to get some rooms with Parcero. If all else fails, rent an apartment and look on the list for english speaking drivers.

Hey guys,

New to the monger scene. I'm from Canada, but in Cartagena until Mar 10. Already have an apt in Bocagrande, but it would be cool to meet up with some people from this board if you happen to be in the area. Can't post my email, so pm me your email or phone num (I bought a local sim card)

[Pramod Aggarwal]

Hi,

I will be in Bogota from the 4th till the 7th and am planning to visit Chicas Milenio and Chicas 2000, based on the recommendation I got from this board. If anyone is around and would like to meet, do send me a note.

Thanks,

PA

Hey guys,

In Colombia, it is best to go! diving and nightlife?

[John Gault]

Sounds like a good deal and I'm sure for some it would work but,

I would check the fine print for a yearly maintenance fee or other catch.

I know you can always cancel later but many times these banks make it extremely difficult and I for one, don't want to bother with the hassle.

Thanks,

You are right. The annual fee is around $70, plus it is hard to use the miles they give you. I am most always rejected on the flights I want, and when they do give them to you it would be on a flight they are charging a very low charge anyway. The thing that costs the most are the taxes on the overseas flights. You pay them even on the so called free flights.
