[QUOTE=Blakman;2479015]27 August 2020.
Colombia begins recovery.
Share share..[/QUOTE]Thanks for posting this translated version of the news from yesterday. A few of us already posted similar ones. Now duque has officially given the go ahead, it's upto the majors to open the airports. It is an absolute fact that the major of Medellin as well as Rionegro are dying to open their airport to the US. I have posted links where they publicly expressed their desire, in almost the same degree that I expressed my desire for 18-year-old pussy. I wouldn't count on Bogota though, they have a more strict mayor. The earliest flight I can find is on 9/4 going through Bogota, but I don't have much confidence in that flight, I betting on the one on 9/10th flight going through Florida directly to Medellin.
[QUOTE=Blakman;2478842]You just made my point duh. As long as humanitarian flights are running means comercials are not. When commercial starts there will be no need for humanitarian flights.
.[/QUOTE]If this is the indicator, then what is all the speculation and arguing about?! Just tell us when the last scheduled humanitarian flight is, and everyone can book tickets to MDE for the following day.
Again, the US is responsible for scheduling humanitarian flights. That has little to no effect on the Colombian Travel Ministry's decision to open commercial / tourism travel Thus, it is extremely likely that there will be a scheduling overlap, which will lead to humanitarian flights that are currently scheduled being removed / cancelled, as normal travel opens. I don't understand the thought process behind thinking the United States' humanitarian flight schedule supersedes all other flight schedules or plans. Your scenario insinuates that the Colombian government is sitting at the roundtable, looking only at the US humanitarian flight schedule, and saying, "Oh shit, we can't open on Sep 1 because there is a Spirit humanitarian flight from BOG-FLL on Sep 3! Ok, how about Sep 7? Nope! MDE-FLL on Sep 9. (Calls the White House) When should we open international flights to and from the US? 'Instead of us canceling any flights, like we have been doing for 6 months, why don't you wait until after our next 6 humanitarian flights to open normal travel, because that makes a ton of sense? Spain calls, "When will you open international flights?" Colombia, "We're waiting until after all of the US' scheduled humanitarian flights. ".
Spirit Airlines is not going to stay awake at night because you paid $300 for a humanitarian flight that is now cancelled and they are offering as a credit towards a $500 commercial flight.
I typically avoid this type of banter in this setting, but this is just too easy to get sucked into. I will withhold any future comments until a simple, "I told you so!" Remember, my entire point is that more than. 5 humanitarian flights will be cancelled, when all is said and done. Nothing more, nothing less.
The manager of my apartment said she'd send a contract for the next month, a few days ago. I haven't received anything. I'm guessing with the rumblings, this week, that she and the company brass are getting hot an bothered about the prospects of planeloads of gringos coming down hoping to pay exorbitant amounts on Medellin penthouses, in the near future. Despite them having 8-10 other comps available, she will be licking her chops to put the full-court press on me. I'm thinking about extending longer than a month, if I can lock-in my current rate.
Knowledge, any scoop on the casas' re-opening schedule / plan? I was walking on La 70, yesterday, and realized I have no clue where the local spots are that Blakman and others have reported on. I was about to pull up the WorldTraveler69 map, but Pinky was waiting at home and I was hungry.
For those of us who have been around for some time we have made statements about how a city or place or country and it's chicas / P4P scene was like "before things changed for the worse".
As for myself I have made posts such as these reminiscing about places I had been to in years long gone bye:
"Oh what fun I had at the clubs in Moscow back in the mid 1990's where I partied like a rock-star".
"You should have seen the party atmosphere at HELP in Rio in the late 90's and early 2000's before it closed down".
"Cuba / Havana is now about hard-core putas, you should have seen it back in the day".
"Ah Tijuana (Tijuana, Baja California) has changed so much since the good old days in the 90's, now it is all so commercialized business like".
Well as time never stops and as the world is still coping with the Corona Virus, in 10 or 20 years we will be writing and reminiscing about the year 2020 and the places were we happened to be stuck in and how we made lemons into lemonade during the pandemic.
For myself it will probably sound something like this:
(Me) "Oh let me tell you what Medellin was like in the year 2020 during the lock-down and crisis, first of all I took in two 18 year old non-pro Venezuelan girls into my apartment during the quarantine which lasted almost 6 months, I provided housing and a safe place to sleep with TV / Netflix / Music / Food, they both were at my beckoning call at anytime I desired, at times I would have one or the other sleep with me or sleep with one and make an early morning visit to the others bed for sex. Not a pesos was exchanged. I also had a handful of chicas over to my apartment during this time, some were repeats of my ATF paisas and other were new chicas. No drama as the chicas all realizing that they were in a survival mode as there was severe economic problems and no tourists nor any of them had any other opportunity for survival.
A few times each week, during those 6 months, I would venture into centro and find me a cute 18 to 22 yo all natural non-pro whom I could have for 25 to 70 mil and they were happy and full of gratitude to earn this money. To mix things up a bit I would from time to time venture in to the calf area around midnight, this is over in San Diego, and cruise in my car and find a real cutie for either a blow job or sex in my car in the mountains above Medellin and usually would pay 30 to 60 mil all depending. Then I had about a dozen of really good girls 18 to 23 yo that I had known for 2 or 3 years prior, trying to fit them into the mix and get with them.
Other times I would peruse through Tinder where I got over 200 connections and see what I could find, then other times I would be contacted by a chicas friend of a friend who needed help so headed into a motel and enjoyed a few hours of great sex with a 19 year old all natural cutie who could be a teen model for Ambercrombie and Fitch clothing, I kid you not and they would be happy with 80 mil and was treated like a king.
There was also the FaceBook chicas at the time along with independent apartment chicas, then friends of friends I would meet at clandestine finca parties in the mountains. So many opportunities for so little money and the service was off the charts. My body could never keep up with the dozens of chicas texting me almost every day wanting to get together. It was everywhere at every turn. Heck I had to shut down my cell phone as it would be lighting up like a Christmas tree in December non-stop, I needed a break from it all.
Oh now those were the day! Too bad those times are long gone in Medellin, you should have seen it back in the day"!
That is how my story of events will read back in the day of 2020.
So the question is, what will your story sound like?

I would also trust the Covid medial treatments in Australia and New Zealand over any medical facility in the US.[/QUOTE]It may sound strange, but the reason I will trust US doctors more is because they have more experience treating Covid patients. They have made many discoveries about Covid. That I think it shows the strength of US doctors and researchers. I have been with my current doctor for more than half of my life and there is no reason that I should trust other doctors more.
[QUOTE=Voyajer1;2478929]This is good news is the Colombian Airline industry is ramping up, getting ready for business. Unfortunately, don't expect international flights till November. Here is the article: [URL]https://www.pulzo.com/nacion/avianca-abre-12-destinos-desde-dorado-primero-septiembre-PP959633[/URL].[/QUOTE]From the USA Embassy, Bogata (sent today via email):
"President Duque announced the extension of the national health emergency until November 30 and the transition from compulsory isolation to selective isolation. Some national restrictions remain:8239;The national government maintains a number of restrictions on activities and requirements to secure public health, including but not limited to: International borders remain closed, and international commercial flights suspended".

That is technically correct, but there are two things. International travel is closed until the airlines pass the safety protocols. No one has passed yet, but the signs are it is going to happen this month. There are things that have to be worked out but one of my chicas has told me about the route most likely to be open first, and I am guessing it will be by the end of the month.
As for American embassies and the state department in general, they are always trying to keep Americans out of potentially unsafe situations as they are responsible for having to help Americans out who get into trouble abroad. Not so much in Colombia but in Peru, the government just closed off all flights and left Americans stranded there. At least, Colombia gave some notice. I am sure the embassy in Peru was working over time to secure flights back to the USA, and I think they finally did get some, but it sounds like it was a massive headache.
If I were in the American embassy, I would be telling people not to come too because of the travel ban trigger fingers many South American nations have had. I wouldn't want to deal with Americans screaming, "Help, get me home!

According to this article today, [URL]https://www.elcolombiano.com/colombia/protocolo-de-vuelos-internacionales-en-colombia-con-paises-prosur-EF13525427[/URL] , (From one of the most credible news paper in Colombia), the president has decided to let some of the South America countries in, in September. As a US citizen, we can still legally go to Ecuador, after completing a 14 day quarantine, we should be able to get back into Medellin. This is a viable path for some of us.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2479097]These new 5 minute Abbott Labs low cost tests are going to change everything. They will start to be available next month[/QUOTE]How many per month? And in what countries?
This is the problem of tests.
Looks like the strip clubs should be opening soon. Hopefully in a week or 2, we'll have some reports. The energy in the streets is very good right now.
Within 10 days there will be a decision on how and when to resume regular international flights for other destinations in South America.
From what I read, the Abbot tests are not going to be available to the public. They're going to medical offices and hospitals.

Some one asked about centro and what it is like, well this afternoon I got a video call from my good buddy who was in centro all day and the quantity and quality was off the charts today.
He showed me a few cuties and if I did not have other plans was very tempted to head down there but possibly tomorrow.
Looks Like the chicas are ready to rumble!
