THE HOTEL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 night in Bogota: http://www.bogotacolombialodging.com
$77.99 including airport pick up
Report: very disappointed, because I paid for Bed & Breakfast only that there were no breakfast because of day-off (National Holiday on that Monday). Did not even get refund for 'breakfast' thing, so never again there!
5 nights on Cali: http://www.hotelcalimareal.com/3.htm
$100,000 a night
Report: Highly recommend to stay there if you want to stay at hotel instead of apartment. I need hotel rather than apartment so I can rely on receptionist to contact on my behalf (I am deaf)
3 nights in Santa Marta: Stayed at my best friend's house
Report: very nice family and they all love me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF MY TRIP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My golden rules: Never to go there only to meet a lady that you haven't already met. I already have 2 back-up plans when I go to Cali.
1 - To meet Luz Dary whom I have known for 7 months even though I still was with my ex-prometida. I started when my ex-prometida was not being honest with me
2 - To attend Fashion Show 14th October - Cali ExPo
3 - To meet my friends
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUTCOME OF MY TRIP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luz Dary did not turn up at the airport.
Reason: Mother - sick; sister - accident!!!
I already asked my good friend, Carol to pick me up at the airport, because I feared that Luz Dary wouldn't be there. I was right!! Thank God for the friend, Carol
Met Luz Dary the next day but only for 3 hours. Told me that she would come again 8pm in 2 days time. 2 days later, at 6pm she phoned the hotel that she is ready to come. I dressed up nicely, exciting and waited. At 8.30pm phoned her up but she said that she had another problem. " brother - prison " Met her again the next day - but only for 2 hours, because her mother kept calling her to come home!!!
My 5 days trip to Cali wasn't wasted
Had a great time in the Fashion shows with my friends
Spend nights with my friends - also at 10pm when Luz Dary did not come
Booked last minutes for 3 days trip to Santa Marta because i do not believe Luz Dary will come again on Saturday.
Gone to Santa Marta to meet my best friends. She and I have known each other for 2 years.
Had really great time there. All of her family are very nuce and genuine people.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY NEXT TRIP ..
possbily in March 2010, and my plan will be: Santa Marta - Barranquilla - Cartegena for the 2nd half of the trip.
1st half still undecided - depending on if I have a novia by then - hopefully Cali or Medellin or Bogota

Paisa/Calena/Luver says on Nov 6, 2009, 09:56: Cake, keep moving... Im glad you had backup plans because if a Calena wants to be with you she will move the mountains to get there and be with you, not inundate you with one excuse after the other.. You better believe she told her "mom" or friend to call her after about 2 hours to get her outta there. Keep trying but take your time. "PAY ATTENTION!

There was 2 other men writing on her Facebook wall, claiming that they did not even know she has a boyfriend or perhaps they thought that they are her boyfriends LOL

Have a respectable, reasonable, list of prerequisites in your mind that the girl must pass in order for you to take the relationship to the next level. Asking for money or taking them shopping at studio f on a first date should raise a red flag. lol "PAY ATTENTION!

CakeDesigner-wannabe says on Nov 6, 2009, 18:19: Darloup .... l am fine now, because I had visited my best friend in Santa Marta and it helped me forgetting about her. Therefore my holiday already was worth my money and time. Booking Santa Marta at the last minute was the best turning point I have ever made.

oneforyourmillion says on Nov 10, 2009, 04:27: You waisted a lot of time with Luz Dary it seems. When she didn't show at the airport what was it that made you want to continue with her? These women show you what they are and who they are but damned if I can understand you guys not picking up on it? I can tell you without any doubt the way you are trying to meet a woman you will have to be dumb lucky I mean like supernatural lucky to meet a good woman. You will most likely fall for one who has good game, you will missenterpret this as a good woman and she will take you for a ride on the visa train and she will destroy you.

roccatanski says on Nov 10, 2009, 07:36: I agree with P/C/l's comment she had her"mom" or friend to call her after about 2 hours to get her outta there,these scammer type women can pretend very convincingly to be angry ,sad,happy etc at the drop of a hat, that is just part of doing business to get what they want..

oneforyourmillion says on Nov 10, 2009, 07:37: yep so therefor my golden rule is this. I watch what they do not what they say or how they say it. Actions is where they fail to deliver, words are cheap.

Anyway I went to the Fashion Show which is in Yumbo. I decided to pay a visit on my way back to the hotel, and the mother looks very well for a 'sick' person !!! 3rd odds: brother - prison.

Paisa/Calena/Luver says on Nov 10, 2009, 09:53: NOW, on the contrary if a Colombiana DOESN'T want to be with you, she will give you every excuse in the book, "im sick, my kid is sick, my mothers sick, my grandmas in the hospital, my cellphone battery died, it had no signal, I fell asleep and didn't hear the cell phone and on and on. You job is to separate the good girls and the bad girls. The ones that want to actually be with you and the one that might have ulterior motives. OFYM is right that a real experienced bandida, it will be difficult to spot those for a novice. Just try to use common sense and if you have a gut feeling then most likely its probably true. I know I know, sometimes you wish these girls would just tell you straight up "Hey, im a so not interested in you so take a walk" But that hardly ever happens. Keep trying. "PAY ATTENTION!
