Medallin, Columbia
 
DW has some relatives in Medallin that she hasn't seen for years and would like to get to know better. What do you think of Medallin and Columbia as a place to visit?

Wonderful city of flowers and great people and food

was there fall last on a road trip... Great in tourist areas

www.travel.state.gov for entry safety and insuremytrip.com

many online scammers never wire money CC/Paypal only for me

Priceline.com bidding or booking.com for best hotel deals

Usually get my best deals down on Spirit.com out of FLL

First Class "Big Front Seats" for the price of coach on others

Pack light though onebag.com they charge for everything extra

including overheads it is free to slide your bag under the

seat in front of you.. That's it everything else costs.

But still an AWESOME price on a direct flight.

Happy Travels,

Qwovadis, we're also thinking of flying Spirit into Cartagena, then returning via Bogota. We'd be flying out of Niagara Falls. When I consider the cost of a flight from Pearson here in Toronto, Spirit looks like a great deal, even with the drive from Toronto to Niagara. (Added bonus - parking at the Niagara airport for 2 weeks is less than a taxi to/from Pearson from our home in Toronto.) I'd like to keep the cost of the flight as low as possible, so I guess we'll have to pack efficiently :)
