Heading to Bogota the 2nd week of February. I've only gotten one vaccine shot. Does anyone know the best way to go about testing? I'm sure at-home testing kits are a no go. Thanks in advance.

Most major airports have testing centers on site. Just check with your departure airport and try to find some information about where they're located. Orlando international airport has a couple inside the departure and security areas. Fort Lauderdale has one outside by the departures area where the cars drop off people. They should be easy enough to Google search, or you can call the airport.

Let us know what happens.[/QUOTE]2. 5 hrs in a departure lounge outside Colombia. Cup of coffee, Get back on the same plane back. Job done. Didn't even enter Panama.
Sounds promising for those with dual citizenships even better for me as I have 3 passports / citizenships but I'm surprised you didn't sample some of the goods in Panama. Thanks for the info though.

No interest in Panama. I find it a pretty fake place, lacking in real culture or attractions. Besdes, I already paid for a month's rental in MDE.

He was scoped and died inside a La 70 area bar in Laureles.

They are looking into what killed him and looking for something that did it like scopolamine. Been past that bar a hundred times and had a beer in there once. If I remember right it's a Karaoke bar.

Very doubtful she was a real girlfriend and what was he doing with her anyway unless he was divorced from his wife the mother of his son who beat cancer? There's a million stories in the Naked City and this is just one of them.

[QUOTE=LatinaLover#1;2787804]Run this story by the geniuses on the board who constantly downplay the dangers in Colombia.[/QUOTE]It highlights something I said long ago and more than once. Colombians are friendly, but that doesn't make them your friends. Look at what the bartender did. He saw a guy passed out and just dragged him outside. If he had called the cops or an ambulance right away the guy might have survived.
Here are things to consider.
Did the 2 enter the bar together? Or did they meet at the bar? Was it an arranged meeting, or did the guy just approach the priest and strike up a conversation?
My gut says it was an arranged meeting, a date, whether for sex or just social contact. Not speaking ill of the dead, but he wouldn't be the first priest who didn't keep a vow of chastity.
3 possibilities I can think of.
1. It was a Tinder or Grinder date, just like most of the scopings. They meet, talk, have a drink. Game over.
2. The victim was seen drinking alone in a bar, was approached, more drinks and drugged.
3. They had met earlier and it was a setup to rob him.
When you're drinking in public, or drinking with someone, watch your drink as if your life depends on it. Don't drink too much. Drink slowly. At the first sign you're not feeling right, stop and get to a safe place. And whenever you're out you should be looking for safe places. Police posts are obvious, but consider pharmacies. Go in, say you're sick and ask for an ambulance, if you think you've been drugged.
Almost every 1 of the scopings can be avoided. Treat it like crossing the street. Whether you're crossing the street alone, with strangers or friends, you need to look before you cross.
