try lafloristeria.com They seem to have the best prices and I had good luck with them, the only problem was the flowers came like an hour or so EARLY, but it worked out anyways :)

I wouldn't see a problem with a 29 year old going out with a 21 year old here, much less there. There are plenty of people in their 20s who have their act together and plenty of middle aged people who think they are still in junior high! I don't think chronological age matters that much (past the age of consent!!!)

hello, mike... a friend of mine is in the flower business in bogota and distributes all over colombia.

from the states, you can direct call him at 305-433-2299 (a miami number that rings in his office in bogota.) his name is bob summers.

i have recommended him to several friends on PBH and all have been extremely satisfied and thankful. he's a really nice guy from arizona. his e mail is bob at bogotacolombia.net.

as for you and your lady...nothing odd about that. hell, i think we've had some couples on site here that have/had 35 + years difference. your's is a typical american relation in my opinion; if such a thing exists.

best to you and your lady friend.

Try Bogota bed and Breakfast (do a google). I have used them before and they were reliable (Bobs the manager/owner - an american). As for your GF - it seems a lot more normal in SA than ie the states, UK etc. The girls seem (to me) to be far more mature in latin america when compared to other places. U wont be out of place.

Investment Strategy - buying when others are crying!! Offloading when others are gloating!!!

Mike As far as sending flowers to Colombia cheap, there really is no way. Any place you call or visit on the internet will charge you an international fee, even though they will be using a local florist. The best way, if you speak Spanish, is to find a local florist where you will be shipping the flowers and call them directly. As far as your question about a 29 y/o man with a 21 y/o woman, it is not unheard of at all. From what I've seen in my time in Colombia, age is really insignificant, as is difference in race. Colombians in general have the right attitude, it's all about making each day count.

Commonplace I'm 15 years the senior of my fiancee. She told me that she prefers it that way. Even though this is quite commonplace in SA, it's also fairly common here in the US to see that kind of age difference if the man is successful and the woman is mature.
