What kind of hoops did they put your through? Can you be more specific?
Thanks.
Artisttyp -- One place asked me what type of medical insurance I had, and I said I was with the VA hospital. They replied that they couldn't take a government funded insurance plan. It had to be private insurance only. I replied that I would pay with cash. They said they wouldn't take cash.
Another place said they wanted me to go to my doctor and get a swab. Then take the swab to their lab for processing. I figured my doc would never go for that. 2 other places couldn't guarantee a quick results turn around in 24-36 hrs.
Any ideas?

I have called my personal doctor and hope he can do the test and get me results fast. And other ideas?

Medellin, Cartagena, somewhere else?
Hello,
Long time lurker. Have mongered all over the world (US, other parts of LatAm, Asia, Eastern and western Europe, Africa, etc.).
Have been to Bogota before. Will be back in Colombia in December for a few weeks of R&R. Need to go to Bogota to visit an old friend. Where else should I do? Candidates are Medellin, Cali, Cartagena.
About me:
+ Generally price IN-sensitive. Generally pay for a bit higher end ladies, and don't mind. Often use SA and other sites to find semi-pros / non-pros. I'm fine doing the legwork.
+ Enjoy exploring new places in addition to sexy time with ladies.
- Medellin I noticed has some great cycling (I like to ride bikes! I think I am fit enough to go on long tours through mountains; noticed options are available). And more of a mongering scene. Are there high end restaurants? Other cool stuff?
- Cali would be hotter weather. I hear more energy?
- Catagena. Tourist sites. Worth it?
Probably only one place in addition to Bogota. Thoughts?
Thanks for the help!

Google just gives me links to all inclusive sex resorts with different packages, LOL. I am planning to travel for a week next month and the idea is to meet 2 chicas a day for couple of hours.
I am looking for some reliable agencies who offer GFE and low profile sites where college girls work UTR. I highly appreciate your help with recommendations, links and suggestions.
I have been to couple of different countries and discussions on this site helped me immensely to find UTR sites and top notch agencies. For the life of me I am unable to find anything in the Colombia forums going back 50 pages on each thread.
If you want something real and more exclusive it is also more expensive but 100% reliable. At gringolovemedellin https://thesapnation.wixsite.com/website.

I find as long as I have a fan blowing air at my jeta I'm good indefinitely.
There was this one room in downtown Medellin, precisely, that was humid and musty and I had to leave. I selected it on airbnb just for its location because it was steps away from San Antonio station.

I don't know. The only chicks I bring are non-pros and they usually check in with me.

Honestly I've done this a shit ton of times in Colombia, including in downtown MDE. Never paid more than 50 k for 24 HR. Your point about checking the location is a good point though.

Some of them are not so cheap. I stay at hotels that are cheaper per day than some of these motels are for 4 hours. I have stayed at some in downtown Medellin for $13/day, but they are not the fancy ones you are thinking of. Most of these places are off the beaten path and in the middle of nowhere. So unless you want to call a taxi every time you want to go somewhere. Do the drive up ones even have a key? Usually you just pull up and the door is open for you. So if you leave maybe you have to get the office to open it up when you come back.
I don't like the windowless shit either. I was at one in the Dominican Republic with a chick that I used to mess with and started feeling claustrophobic because there was no window. I was like what kind of shit is this. She said baby this is just a box. It is a box for fucking. It is a fuck box. They are not too comfortable when you are not fucking.

Anyone have recent knowledge about the ground transportation between FLL and MIA? Timetable would be good.
It's called TriRail.

What do you guys think? Anyone have any experience with these types of passes? Am I going to spend an hour on the phone each time I want to book a flight with a coupon?

Read the fine print. Viva has a ton of little fees. When I booked the final price was double what I originally thought. The only airline where they have measured my carry on and said too big (have used the bag all over the world). There is a fee for normal size carry on, checked bags, taxes, I think there is even a fee for a printed out ticket.
Not trying to knock Viva, the airline was fine and I'd use them again. Just understand the way their promotional fares work before committing.

That does sound like a good deal.
I had my credit cards points changed into LATAM airlines miles. It was enough points to do basically what you are describing. I flew all over South America with those miles. However, I did spent hours upon hours on the phone with LATAM, booking flights, them messing up my flights, etc.
The deal you're describing is so cheap though. It sounds too good to pass up. I would call their phone number a couple times to get a feel for what type of customer service they provide.

No need to pick up your bags in Panama if you are just passing through. You land in Panama and before you land you are asked if you are staying in Panama or passing through. If you are passing through, you get out of the plane and go directly to the gate for your next flight WITHOUT going through immigration OR customs. Or / and you can co shopping. You find your connecting gate and move on; no need to go through immigration if you are NOT staying in Panama. It isn't Mexico, they do that stupid shit sometimes, but not in Panama.
I have filled up 3 passports with international stamps, one with added pages, they did that in the old days. I know how things worked antes COVID. I'm asking because, Panama has the 48 hour test rule. MORE restrictive than Colombias, and My novia flew Avianca last week from Bogota to Ctg to connect on American and onto Mia. AND they made her exit from the airport in Ctg. And go back into the airport to the American counter to be processed all over again. Before Covid, as a Colombian National, IN Colombia she would have gotten off the plane and walked over to the AA gate. She was already checked in for the Miami flight, She was not checking a bag and she had her boarding pass. Colombia does crazy shit like this and I'm just hoping Panama isn't doing the same shit SO I'll ask again Has anyone connected in Panama SINCE the reopening of international flights last month. Thanks.
