ATM's E*Trade Financial

Forget my recommendation of using E*Trade Financial checking account debit card for ATM withdrawals in Colombia. While they still will rebate all fees charged for using any foreign or domestic ATM, as of March 8, 2007, they will begin charging a 1% fee for all foreign currency transactions. Lets hope this is not a trend picked up by other brokerage firms. ...

eBay to buy Skype?

(From ClarkHoward.com)

eBay wants to buy Skype & new Internet phones
Tens of millions of Americans have a need or desire to make phone calls overseas.

3 Questions for the Medellin experts.

1. I am hoping to have some dental work done in Medellin. Clear “Invisalign� braces. I searched the Invisalign web site and found one dentist in Bogota and one in Cali but none in Medellin. Does anyone know of a dentist in Medellin who fits Invisalign braces?

2. Is there a airport/city bus? If so what are its hours of operation?

3. Any suggestions for a furnished apartment for a week in September?

Thanks in Advance ...

Last week Avianca suddenly..........

Last week Avianca suddenly came up with a round trip $200 flight from Miami to Cali. Good for one week only. I already had plane tickets to Cali for the end of May but could not pass up such a great deal. I jumped on it and was soon driving to Miami. It’s a four-hour drive from Orlando and I did not have much time. I was forced to park in the MIA parking garage for $12 per day. Ouch! The three and a half-hour flight were pleasant with the aircraft about three fourth full. Breezed throu ...
