[QUOTE=GroggyRo;2705233]So was totally going to make a post about my maiden voyage earlier this year but kinda forgot. Oops. Am a younger guy (late 20's) and am bilingual.
Had an overall great time. RTFF and had some solid advice from here. Thanks to all the veterans, you dirty dogs helped out a lot.
When I arrived at the airport I went to an ATM and grabbed 150 k and took the bus to San Diego. It's a large green one and was like 15 k for the trip into Medellin. Little snug but better than airline seats. Plus I didn't like the taxi guys at the airport. Once I got to San Diego flagged a taxi down and headed to where I'the be staying.
Note: all taxis have a meter you can see. Ride are relatively cheap. I often went from laureles to poblando 20 min drive for like 20 k. uber also works and I don't think I got charged any international fees for using it. Around $3-5 USD a trip with tip. Fucking great.
Per the advice of the forum I stayed at San Peter Apartments (SPA) and it was like $370 for a 9 night stay. Guest friendly and the front desk was great. I got them a small bottle of rum and they LOVED me for the whole time I was there. LOL, it's the little things. About the bar that's there. Owner is cool and there are Americans that hang out there. Only went in like 2/3 times though. Would rather go to a bigger place with some eye candy. Could be good for people that don't speak a lot of Spanish and I'm sure mongers hang out there between sessions. There is also a burger place there that is solid. They'll deliver to your room as well.[/QUOTE]Staying at SPA in Sept.
Question for you (and others). When summoning FB chicas to SPA in Laureles, do most know it as San Peter and find it that way, or you always give them the address? Obviously, many a FB chicas have had relations at SPA, I'm figuring that place is as well known "in the community" as say Parque Lleras LOL.
I also plan on an introduction to Ms Bustamante.
