Not sure your time frame but Costco now sells saliva PCR tests kit for home and the results are returned in 72 hrs. The kit costs $115. [URL]Costco.com[/URL] has the info. It is a little complicated with a video call to view your test sample, then into overnight box to the lab.
[QUOTE=Woodman09;2540661]Looking for a PCR test in LA area, for return to Colombia, anyone have a recommendation?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2540766]Woodman, I do not know what your time frame is, but I will be headed to Bogota tomorrow. I am not sure I will need a PCR even though I got one. If you have time, I will post tomorrow if I needed it. I think Mr. E posted an article that the PCR requirement may not be needed anymore given a judge's ruling.
What sucked for me is that my fucking PCR test was more expensive than my ticket. I got a killer deal on Spirit.[/QUOTE]Here in LA to get results quick like 12 hours it is costing me $175. Going tomorrow.
CVS is $139,1-2 days no guarantee on that tho-.

What are they saying if you had shots and the card that the nurse gives you that proves it?

Since we're on the topic of PCR testing. Here's an interesting scenario. I will be going to the USA for 1 night and returning to Colombia the following day so I get an extra 90 days visa free in Colombia. Assuming that Colombia will still require a PCR test to enter, I will be getting a PCR test in Colombia 2 days before my flight to the US. I plan to use the results of the test to enter the US as well as return to Colombia. Whats the probability that Colombian Migration gives me shit for using a test that is technically within the 96 hrs but was taken in Colombia?

Just wondering, unless your whole thing is getting the cheapest flight possible to any border.

And it also lets me take care of some things in the US while I'm there.
Not sure what to do about it this time.
I was in Santa Fe around 8 pm. I was walking west on Calle 23, between Cr 16 and 16 a, when I heard the sound of coins falling to the ground. I turned around to look at the ground and didn't see anything immediately, but I saw 2 guys following me. These were two of the guys that threw a rock at me the other night. I don't remember their faces, but I could tell from the jackets and hats they were wearing. The taller one wears a red jacket. Anyways, they were throwing coins at me. This has such a high school bully feel to it. But again I wasn't sure that they threw coins at me and I wasn't absolutely sure it was them. So when I turned the corner north onto CR 16 a. I stopped immediately around the corner and waited. To me, what they did next confirms all my suspicions. The stopped at the corner and pretended to play with their phones for 15 or so seconds, then turned around and walked back from where they came.
Yea, not sure what to do about this. I'm pretty sure they are just fucking with me, but I may stop going to santa fe alone at night. I hope someone kicks their ass, unfortunately it won't be me.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2541602]Wear a different color hat.[/QUOTE]Thanks, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to help.

In any way, I would either stop going there altogether, find other people to go with, or uber / taxi right to and from your favorite club's entrance.
