OK.......Peace!!!!! and enjoy ! She is a lovely lady.

Don't go anywhere questionable. Remember one thing.....no exceptions, not every place that is safe for your girl is safe for you. She is not a target of kidnappers......you are!!! So stay in major areas where there are a lot of people. No questionable pueblos (like Florida) outside of Cali. They are safe for her, not for you. She may not understand that. You have to understand.That is the most important line I can say. That warning makes more sense that the ussual "just be careful" lines that are stupid, and say nothing.

OK so, have a great time. Enjoy the food. Dance with her. You have to dance. If you want a future with a young Colombiana, you HAVE TOO dance. You don't have to be good, but if she is hot, and she is a typical Calena (still no enya) you have to want to get on the floor with her.

Lastly, if you marry--prenup, prenup, prenup. You can argue with me on the safety thing. If you argue with me on this issue, you are naive my friend!!!! Prenup.

Gomezman, there you are. Dance? Man, I was dancing all night with her the first night I met her. Maybe I didn't dance salsa very good but I tried. I have heard a few bad things about Florida so no chance I will go there. I might not even leave the hotel very much ;)

I have been busy so......but I remembered you were leaving tommorrow, so I thought you would be out here. Hey, even I will not tell ya to stay in the hotel all the time. I am not that bad. There are nice places to go.If you go to places like Chipi Chapi, the only thing you will have to worried about is not safety, but your roaming eyes that if your girlfriend sees, she will get pissed---bigtime. But then again, you will have that problem all over Cali. Watch your eyes when you are with her.

Don't worry about how good of a salsero you are. She will be so happy that you are making the effort!!If you are interested in Dancing, she will be happy to teach you more.

Just enjoy You will probably be able to find a minute or two to post. I mean, you got to "come up for air" sometime. All the good hotels have internet access in one way or another.

Well, Gomezman, I did not take your advice about the prenup. I probably handled several hundred divorce cases in my six years of practice but no prenup for me. On everything else, I completely agree with you. Actually, I don't even disagree with you about the prenup - they are a good idea.

About security, my wife always has a double standard, what she (or other Colombians) can do and what I can do.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

UC good choice Well, it only shows that you know how to pick em' well. It's either that, or you just jump fast enough and high enough

In the meantime, I still believe in Prenups. I believe in it for American wives.I believe in it even more so with these typical over seas ladies.

I just got back from my trip. It was great! I saw some new places, met some new people and learned a lot about my novia and her family.

I plan to give a rundown of the trip soon and maybe post some photos.

Hey you.....that was a long 5 day trip, I think.......... you got yourself an extension because you could not come home!!!!!
We, (I at least) was getting a bit worried about you. Anyway, get those pics up there. And what you don't want to post.......email me.

Welcome home!! Oh, one more quesion. When is the wedding? Hey, maybe you and Lionheart can have a double wedding. He is about ready.
You never know, you might end up moving there too!!!

Buy a big place, with a guest room so all your friends from PBH can come visit.

Lionheart says on Feb 22, 2005, 01:05:

you never know ... pantera and I have already been joking around ... if Desi can open a bed & breakfast in Cali, then we can open a German style Gasthaus in Cali. PBH gets special rates, bartering accepted. Corner tables are setup for lawyer consultations, notaria officials, and real estate agents. That's how business used to be done in German villages, why not in Colombia? I refuse to have a dentist or a surgeon hangout in the front rooms, though. Pedro and Pablo drive the minivan shuttles.

Desi's B&B and Gasthaus now the only thing that we need is enough tourists to fill up both places...oktoberfest...hmmmm...what'll I have as a gimmick? A Finnish sauna bath and a dip in a moonlit pool? With chunks of ice floating in it? An ice-cold vodka and lingonberry drink on the patio under a palm tree?....
Cheers,
Desi

YEP and Desi same here guys it's been snowing non stop although probably not as much as where you are but I’m just glad that in 4 weeks I’ll be sunbathing in Colombia and not freezing and shaking like I am right now I am so excited I’m counting the days but they seem to go so slow, anyway I’ve been very busy buying stuff and planning my trip and hope that these next few days will go faster than usual, well at least I hope so!
