Anyone have any idea where I can check to get the best airfare from Bogota to Mexico, speciifically to Puerto Vallarta in February. I only know of Mexicana and they want $900.+ for a roundtrip ticket which includes tax. Any information you can provide me will be greatly appreciated!

You might wanna check with both Avianca ([url]www.avianca.com[/url]) and Copa Airlines ([url]www.copaair.com[/url]). I know Avianca has a direct flight BOG to MEX, which they code-share with Mexicana. Copa, of course, routes via Panama City (PTY), and as far as I can see, they don't fly directly into Puerto Vallarta (Avianca doesn't either).

I haven't Greg but i will be coming to Colombia the first of April and i am hoping to go to Medellin. I have met several latinas from Medellin in my city and they were very very nice. I have a fiance in Bucaramanga and most of my time has been spent there. In all of Colombia's large cities there are tons of beautiful ladies. I really fine it hard to choose a certain city with the most beautiful women.
there are NOT beautiful women in every city in Colombia, that is TOTALLY untrue. OK, maybe there are a few, but most are not gonna get all hot and bothered just because a sweet talking gringo comes to town looking to get busy. Only in Cartagena and Medellin (really Poblado) does that happen, the only English friendly parts of Colombia (well San Andres too).
Really, it is primarily Robert and Greg that make Medellin so accesible to non Spanish speakers as not very many people outside THE most upscale businesses will speak much Ingles. Greg himself is proof, however, that one can still do quite well in Medellin even with minimal Spanish skills.
Hiya Greg. Still waiting to see the New Year's Eve pictures of the Mango's girls as I KNOW you took HEAPS! (not so subtle hint).
Me and a buddy have a 10 day vacation planned. Which city should be go to Catagena, or Medellin? We really have two goals in mind for this vacation, obviously Chicas being number 1 but followed by the idea of having a good time partying, drinking, etc. Our plan is to stay at Greg's place in Medellin or Juan's penthouse in CTG. Should we do both? How would you split up the time? The beach is reaol appealing in CTG, but I think the Chicas are better in Medellin. BTW, we do not speak Spanish.
Any help guys in us making up our minds would be great!

Colombian soccer player shot and killed
Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia - Elson Becerra, a forward on Colombia's national soccer team, was shot and killed along with a friend in a Cartagena discotheque, police said Monday.
The 27-year-old Becerra was dancing in a night club Sunday when attackers shot him four times, said Col. Mauricio Agudelo, police chief of Bolivar state.
Becerra and his friend, Alexander Rios apparently had an argument some days earlier with the unknown assailants who then came to the bar looking for them, the police chief said.
"The attackers were looking for a chance in the discotheque and in the middle of the music they committed the double crime," Agudelo said.
The suspects remain on the loose, but Agudelo said the police know who they are and expect arrests "at any moment."
Becerra played for Colombia when it won the Copa America in 2001 and played some games for the national team during World Cup 2006 qualifiers.
Most recently, Becerra had played for a team in the United Arab Emirates.
The striker often is remembered for trying to help Cameroon player Marc-Vivien Foe after he collapsed on the field during a Confederations Cup game in 2003. The Cameroon star later died.
just don't get in an argument with colombianos a few days earlier.
99.99% of the killings are colombian men killing their own.
just stick to making whoopee with the girls and you will be ok.
It happened in La Boquilla which is north of Crespo(airport). That's the other direction from centro and a long way from Laguito/Bocagrande. I'm not sure of the name of the club, but I believe that it's the one I was at two different times right on the beach. It seemed safe enough to me.
Another reminder to mind your own business.
Colombia without speaking spanish? Don't know if I'd recommend that...But if you're determined to do the trip, I would think you will need the mansion for sure. And Juan does speak english, but man, you will struggle when you don't have a translator with you. Just making it through the airport, dealing with taxis, etc.
Can be done though I suppose. Anyone else care to chime in?
Shadow,
Thank you for your insight. At first I was concerned about safety being two obvious gringos, but I think I am over that from what I have read it seems safe enough in Colombia. Now I guess my concern is how much are we going to struggle without speaking Spanish. Will it ruin our vacation? I do spend a good amount of time in Mexico but mostly in tourist locations, not knowing Spanish is not an issue.. But I am starting to feel that the lack of tourism in Colombia may really effect how much we will struggle down there. I do know that cruise ships drop people off in CTG and it does seem like tourism is somewhat present so maybe CTG won't be that bad for us? Will doing things like going through the airport really be aa problem for us? One thought we had was to stay at the Hilton instead of renting an apartment thinking that it may be more tourist friendly, just a better home base?
One thing I have to say though, is that we are young guys and are not afraid of a challenge, I just do not want to be miserable wishing we had gone to LOS. We both really dig Latin women and think this could be a great experience that we keep coming back for. Again any help guys would be appreciated.

Racer,
You've got to start somewhere, and Colombian Spanish is one of the easiest to understand in the world.
Obviously, you have some time since you haven't set your plans yet. Get a phrase book, buy some tapes or CD's and listen and repeat the words for half an hour twice a day, put Spanish subtitles on your TV and movies, and go for it!
You can even go to a place like Borders and pick up flash cards to build your vocabulary.
In the begin you can get by without learning all of the conjugations. It you say "salir" they know it means to leave. It might take a second for them to figure out if you are leaving or someone else is, but they will get it.
It is certainly better to speak bad Spanish than no Spanish at all.
The locals will love that you are trying and will be glad to help you.
