[QUOTE=Mojo Bandit;1375744]I tried what Hillbilly said but I made the mistake of approaching the jet ski guys with the hot chic, so I am sure he knew I was paying so send her ahead and catch up with her after she has a price.[/QUOTE]Ask for a guy named Pepe.
I was in CTG in November for the 5th time and thought I should finally write a little. I find that the trips just keep getting better, when you think, okay I've seen this town enough. Then on the next it exceeds your expectations. I know people on the board here have there preferences for one city over another. But I just love the beach (scene, not the very average sand / water) , after several times you will know alot of the characters. Each time I think you are better able to size people / girls up and I have to say this time I didn't have one bad session / experience I had the pleasure of meeting a very nice 20 yr old university student (I know, they all say that, but saw her I'd) and also got to see an old friend. These 2 were seen each day on a revolving basis during the days, and then mixing up others at nite. I met the most beautiful girl I had ever had there on the 1st nite in the plaza iin front of tu candela. 20 yr old, sitting w / her friends. I was afraid she might be to naive / dead fish due to her complete lack of english and my limited spanish, but she became immediatly agrresive / GFE once we were in the cab and went back to apt for tln. Unfortatley, I never got back w / her due to my failure to call on a timely basis. And other alternatives. I finally made it to the club that opens at 3 am, forget the name, quite a scene to watch it fill up, become crazy for like 90minutes. I had spent the end of a very long nite there getting picked up by 19 yo from Cali. Who I would then call at about 3am each nite and she would show up in 20-30 min at my apt. The trip had its share of drama, girls showing up at the apt when I was occupied. But always eventually resolved. Highlight being my old friend (23 yo) bringing her friend to the beach, having lunch and drinks, then the 3 of us heading to the apt for a late afternoon fiesta. Much more, but you get the picture. Can't wait till I back in 3 weeks.
Enjoy,
Doc
Nice condensed report. I agree with you, everytime I say I am going to go somewhere else I end up back in Cartagena and always have a good time. I will be there Feb 18 to 25 and am very much looking forward to that week, especially with the temps here in the 20's as of right now.

Is anything going on in CTG the first / second week in Feb? Flights almost sold out and upwards of 700 from Miami. 1K from NYC. There is a festival in Barranquilla around same dates but I can hardly see flights from the US sell out due to this. Or did I miss anything?
I am not sure of anything going on, but I just checked Spirit air out of Ft. Lauderdale and it was round trip Feb 4 to 10 for 473. 00 round trip not including bag fees which if you are a member is no more than 40. Round trip. I bought my flights out of Atantic City to Cartagena for 404. 00 round trip, (feb 18 to 25) so it is on pricey side for florida to Cartagena, but still a lot less than 700 to 1000. 00 In the last 6 months I notice a lot more gringos in Cartagena. When I first started going down there you rarely saw an American which I liked now there is a lot more. With Jet blue starting service, there probably will be more Americans traveling here. Though for some it may be more pricey than they are use to as it certainley isn't as cheap as many of the other islands.

Maybe if you've got flexibility in dates I need those exact dates and out of Miami only one direct flight comes up on Kayak is this one. I am not paying this much out of principle.
$712.
Avianca Aerovias.
MIA 1:30p CTG 4:16p 2h 46m nonstop.
CTG 9:30a MIA 12:15p 2h 45m nonstop.
And Spirit is 817 for same dates.
I can't remember first time I went to CTG it was maybe 2002 or 2004 and there were very few gringos back then. Idk if this good or not that there are more of them now, maybe more gringos mean more selection of available girls, supply = demand kind of thing. I hope Colombia does not turn Brazil prices in the near future.

I just bought a girls ticket from from Medellin to cartaegna for less than 100.
Try flying to Cartagena via another city.
Check sprit to Medellin and then aviance from Medellin to Cartagena.
Or try going through Bogota.
Think you can find something for under 500 traveling from fort lauderdale.
One other thing I found two avianca web sites one in english with american dollars and one with colombian pesos.
Make sure you use the avianca with pesos it us about half the price
I've been getiing plenty of info from this site, felt I needed to post. My 1st night here was much better than my past
Trip here which was the week after semana santa. This time LDV had plenty of talent. Most of the time at these venues, I might.
Like a few of the girls. After the interview maybe just one. This time was much different. As the girls started to arrive,
I must have had at least 4-5 options. I am loving this trip so far. Sessioned with a blond spinner from Pereira. Best ass in
The place, Paulina. Killer time was had. Thee hottest chica I saw was leaving as I arrived at LDV. Smokin. I'm going to get some
Of that if she is still in CTG this trip. She could easily be a playboy model. I think I would have pulled that chic the moment I set eyes on her.
On a side note, my COPA flight stopped at PTY. I had a 12hr layover. I got out of that airport so fast and made my way to
The Veneto. The place was loaded with chicas at about 10pm. This was last Thursday night. There was only 2 stand outs. Took up.
A spinner from MDE. Was'nt great, but took the edge off. When I made my way back down to the bar, the talent was not much
Better. I'm glad I pulled the trigger. Later I Walked down to Habano's. Talent was good. Did'nt pull anyone. I finally made my
Way to Golden Times. The line up was average. I asked for a 2nd look and interview for #2 Natalie. She was way to boared.
Decided to hold off and save it for CTG.
Well, today going to get some beach action, yesterday alot of families at the beach. Hard to determine who's who. I'll try and

One of my favourite girls in MDE told me that few of the popular girls are shifting their operation to CTG. She said there are more "tourists" to CTG now and money is better. She is not sure why and I wonder if it has anything to do with the secret service scandal! They did not increase the number of cruise ships or have overnight cruise ship rest stops now in CTZ?

I ain't too worried about it. Seeing more hot chics from Barranquilla, Cali and Bogota would be terrible! LMAO

Women outnumbered men by far. The ratio was still great at LDV even after alot of women left. There is alot of chicas here this weekend. Met a girl from Cali, Estefany, during breakfast. When she came to pick up her phone order, she sat down, I gave her the eye, she smiled, it was on. Had a ST with her before she left back to Cali. She also gave me her friends number from MDE.

Over the past few years I fell in love with MDE and I am planning on investing in real estate there. Obviously not for mongering reasons (as that would be stupid) but for climate, friendliness, culture and most importantly the future growth potential.
Sounds like I should seriously consider CTG as well.
Would love to hear if any of you have thoughts on investing in CTG.
I haven't heard about the direct flights from Europe. Can you tell us more?

[QUOTE=Artful;1378623]I haven't heard about the direct flights from Europe. Can you tell us more?[/QUOTE]Air Stats shows nothing, I found the article in Colombia Reports, service was supposed to start a year ago 3xs a week from Madrid, what happened? , no clue.

Air Europa will open direct flights between Spanish capital Madrid and Colombia's coastal city Cartagena de Indias, the company announced Saturday.
According to Miguel Gonzalez, Air Europa's Colombia manager, the airliner will be flying between Madrid and Cartagena three times a week beginning December 1.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said in Cartagena he hoped the direct flights between Spain and Colombia's northern coast will result in an increase in employment in the region.

We booked direct United flight from NY to Bogota for $615. Only 4 days will probably skip Cartagena this time. Spirit Air has flights to Bogota for $339 but connection time is awful and just dealing with the bag fees not worth it.
Colombia will probably remain a good destination for awhile, but seeing how quickly Brazil got expensive for most people you just never know
