Marysol comments on Canada's Better Than Colombia?

Hey, What's up with the rampant hate-on for Canadians? When people here (Vancouver, Canada) ignorantly spew anti-American sentiments, I'm the first to say "Don't over-generalize; I've met lots of very nice American people." There are few things that piss me off more than stereotypes passed off as *The Way It Is*. BTW, I'm not even remotely affluent, but I routinely tip 15% for good service, 20% for exceptional – so don't be assuming all of us are cheap. Maybe it's a generational thing? People who grew up in the depression era might be a little tighter with their money. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. (Plus 20% cuz I'm feeling generous.)

Marysol comments on ATMs in arrivals area of Bogotå airport?

Robert – we're flying with Northwest Airlines out of Houston. Thanks again for the info, everyone.

Marysol comments on ATMs in arrivals area of Bogotå airport?

Thanks so much for the help, everyone. I think we'll take Robert's advice and just get a small amount of cash at a currency booth. We'll have heavy packs, so the less trudging around, the better. Our flight lands at 9:40 por la noche. Are the currency booths open at that time?

Marysol comments on Canada's Better Than Colombia?

SALMON SAM, Fellow Vancouverite here! RE: "In spite of all our advantages most Canadians do nothing but bitch about this place, they have NFI how good they have it." I couldn't agree more!! People have such a sense of entitlement and take so much for granted. Admittedly, the climate is pretty harsh in much of the country, except here in our neck of the woods. People do bitch about the rain too, but I say, "Hell, you don't have to shovel the stuff" and it's essentially what makes the place so green and gorgeous. BTW, my husband and I are flying to Bogota early tomorrow morning – it'll be our first trip to Colombia and I'm absolutely stoked. Having said that, it's always nice to come home, sleep off the travel fatigue, then go out for breakfast and take our dog (once she stops giving us the cold shoulder) out for a seawall walk. ¡Viva Colombia Y Canada, eh!

Marysol comments on MT overcome by Flu Like Symptoms

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, CatGirl! I phoned a couple of stores here, but they didn't carry Airborne. However, we have a stopover at Houston airport, so I'll try to find it there. ¡Salud!

Marysol comments on MT overcome by Flu Like Symptoms

Hi again CatGirl, Please ignore the first part of my question. I found Airborne's website, but the product isn't available here in Canada. Do you know if it can be bought in Colombia? Cheers.

Marysol comments on MT overcome by Flu Like Symptoms

Hola CatGirl, Mi esposo y yo are leaving for Colombia in three days. We've had yellow fever vaccinations, but I'd be interested to know what AIRBORNE is and where I can buy it. Muchas gracias in advance for your help.

Marysol comments on Australian girl kidnapped in El Rodadero Santa Marta

Oh come on, guys – cut the girl some slack about that picture. She'd just been through a very traumatic experience. Anyone would look like sh** under those circumstances, even the most caliente Colombiana.

¡Muchas gracias, Nueva York Bombero! We're really looking to Tayrona and several other Colombian destinations. :-D
