Thank you guys for the answer
JMC it is, I hate small planes and I need about 3 transits before getting to Colombia so an additional one to ride a small plain is out of the questions.
Thanks again
Just a little tip about lawyers and recommendations
Having opened a business in Medellin and using a "recommended" lawyer from this board from other business owner(s), I'll say don't trust anyone because you've stayed at their establishment or they speak English, get drunk with you, etc.
I did this and found out that my lawyer was 8 times higher than the going rate. The quote from this business owner was something like (and I am paraphrasing)...."use this lawyer, he is good, speaks English, and doesn't charge gringo prices".
Certainly I can't prove it, but I imagine there was a kick-back to this business owner because the rumor is that he gets big kick-backs from everyone he recommends to his gringo customers. Some of this is certainly understood but out-right lies about the prices is a little suspect. I am not going to name names but if you need a lawyer ask around while you're in Medellin with your broken Spanish. You're likely to find a better lawyer than your trusted native English speaking B&B owner(s). They are not your friend, they're there to suck dry you like any other Colombian who sees a gringo.
