[QUOTE=JayHighFive]Thanks for the information. I'll be arriving late are there places where I can exchange after 10pm?[/QUOTE]
Always use the ATM in Latin America.There is one in the baggage area.
After 10PM the Casinos give a decent rate.

[QUOTE=David_33]NEVER change at the airport change booths. If you really have to, just change a minimal amount. Its not like in Bs As where you get a good rate at that bank on the right once you leave customs. The exchange rate at the Lima airport is terrible.[/QUOTE]
There is an ATM just after you exit immigration and go into the customs hall. I always get S/.200 out of that and use S/.45 for the taxi.
Suerte!

Just in case the atm isn't running and you *need to change cash at the airport use the booth that charges no fee(baggage claim area). I always change there and have never had a problem. I've never felt cheated by the rate. Usually I only change $50 so it's no big deal.
Always look for fake bills and coins no matter where you are in lima.
They say they "donīt charge a fee", but check out the exchange rate they are giving you.....
A beautiful babe, she is actual looking like a model. She is right now trying to convince me that her son is at a hospital and she is communicaing with the doctor. Soon she will ask for money, or letting me offer her.
This has become an industry! Peru and Colombia is on the internet and in real life full of pretty girl that will say or do anything for money. This is both good and bad. I think it means it is better to look for pregagos and britcheras and play along. But in the end leave- just pick the right moment. Get sex-then leave, BEFORE making any major payments. The girl will always have a sick relative or an unpaid rent for you to pay.
They will, at least in Peru, marry for money. Colombians might be the same, at least they love money.
As a member wrote; Colombianas expect gringos to behave like complete idiots, since they behave like complete idiots! We dont get younger and handsome just because latinas are poor, they are just good actresses!
But we are not used that a middleclass familiy "sell" their very beauitful daughter. But it is like this. If you have not visited Colombia or Peru, you will be amazed how common this phenomenon is.
I have to give myself a rational advice; stick with the goodlooking escorts and try to get a good deal.
It is the best way to get good sex and not end up in a economical and emotional misery. Sad but true.
I spend great deal of time in Peru, I retired early. I bought a round trip plane
ticket in Peru. I came up to the USA. When going back to Peru, when checking in at Taca counter I was told I could not get on board unless I had
another return ticked from Peru to the USA. It was close to mid-nigth, if I did
not get on board I would lose my ticket, these bastards would not give a boarding pass, I had no choice but buy another ticket! motherfukers

Don't blame the airline (It is your own fault)! Any tourist leaving the USA is required to show a return ticket. In the future buy a RT ticket with a 180 day return date. Before I get flamed (yes, on occasion, you can get away with it)by showing a printout of an online booking or bus tickets to Ecuador)!

What if in my case : I am thinking of traveling for a year or two out of the states and want to come back once every six months to run some errands etc.
Ie. I am coming from lima to nyc but then from nyc I go to buenos aires then continue traveling through SA on bus ? Would I need to buy a ticket that I wont show up for and wouldn't that be a security breach?
Also what if you don't have a main address ( living in various countries on a tourist visa). Will the airlines sell you a ticket and will customs in foregin countries let you through ? How to get around that.
I've looked at the american express website and they seem to offer various forms of travel insurance but they don't explain these topics.
*****LB I know you are good with this stuff thats why I am firing away. I am in the middle of researching a new life.
If anyone else has ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Most of the countries in the world require you to have a return ticket to your country before they let you in. It is the airline which enforces this rather than the country visited for the simple reason that if you are not allowed in it is the airline responsiblility to take you back.
Only exceptions are dual citizenship, long term multiple entry visa for studying, work.

It is not the requirement of USA. Anybody can leave USA without a return ticket. It is the country that you are going to requires that you have a return ticket back to your country. Most of the airlines strictly enforce this.

How would you travel around the world for a year without having a set itinerary ? Does the same go for international bus service ?
I know one ISG member ( I wont say who ) that whipped up a return ticket in photo shop and it worked to enter the country he was visiting.

If you have an "old" printout of a booked ticket then you can "finesse" the dates in that with a word processor - provided you were smart enough to save it as a file as well. Make sure though it is for an airline that is different to the one you are travelling on. And make sure the paper looks new.
Of course, I have only heard of scoundrels doing this!
Suerte!

I anyne here looking for a wingman for daytime fun? Got here yesterday and miraflores is pretty dead.

John,
I wish I was there to go with you to the Troc. I know that place would blow your mind. A must see for a true Monger. Some real beasts and a few Grandmas, but I was always able to find 2or3 7's. You just have to keep walking around and around till they pop up.
I think you will just look as I have seen at the ML the Non Pros you hang with. Why take hamburger, when you can get steak?
