To Laminate Or Not To Laminate Is Something To Consider
[QUOTE=Osteoknot;2574601]With travels to seven continents. Whoever hotel clerk is asking for that I think is on a little power trip. Either the real one of a paper copy of your passport would usually cover all eventualities. In fact, you should not go out on the street with your real passport. I have my passport foto page copied on one side, and the visa page copied on the other. Color not necessary either. I have used the same copy until it was dogeared and falling apart and no one gave a shite including random stops by policia. One of my many little travel hacks is to have a copy made at the hotel front desk at time of check in, when you have to show your passport. I have always been able to get a copy this way without a problem, and I usually tip a 2 mil COP note or fifty cents.[/QUOTE]Lets think out of the box on this one.
A laminated or plastic covered color copy of your ID makes the ID look more credible versus black and white especially with the Police, and you can get it wet and it won't dog ear and de-grade.
Even better yet what I have done is had photocopy's of all my ID's reduced down to business card size front and back so they are the size of a credit card, and fit right into my wallet.
Makes things a lot easier to whip out than a big folded piece of paper that besides getting dog eared may get wet and the ink runs and ruins it. I have been caught is some downpours in Medellin and have been soaking wet so another reason to laminate.
Day 1 in medellin including travel
So I'm going to start this off with my travel.
I wake up a 3 am and head to the airport for a 5 am flight to FL. I make it to the airport and stand in line because I was having issues with my passport. I was told that I didn't fill-out the Columbia travel paperwork so this caused me to almost miss my flight. Fast forward to landing in Columbia and my phone did not work. I had to pay a Colombian $5 usd to navigate me to my driver I had already had requested from the mansion. The drive to the city was beautiful and I took a lot of pictures. I arrived at the mansion and was greeted and shown my room (M1) for the first night. I took a quick shower and walked around outside taking it all in as a first-timer. After about an hour I returned and saw a couple of beautiful woman walking around the mansion and sat a spoke with them for another hour. Decided to bust my Columbia virginity and took a young woman back toy room and had an OK time. Long story short none of the mansion girl could get me to cum. After that's session I texted my tour-guide and made plans to hit the town. I leave the mansion around 8 pm and head to a strip club that I can't remember the name of and the woman was only (100 k) per. I managed to bang the second hottest girl in the building, she still is the best sex I had overall. After that we hit up gustó and walked the park. That ended my first night in Medellin.
I stayed a total of 5 days and will write them individual as time permits.
