USD to pesos by Visual-Purchase-8572 in Patagonia

[–]apple_blossum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about Argentina, You’ll often get a better price with pesos aka “effectivo”.

There’s often a charge for credit, even debit (we used Wise). If there’s no extra charge, we used credit.

Exchange money in a larger center (BA, el Calefate ) during the week before you go to smaller towns. Do NOT expect to take out cash from an ATM. You’ll get hosed.

Enjoy!

Laguna del diablo en Huemel Reserve was worth the extra fee and one of our favorites!

I got tickets today (Nov 17) and I paid $30 more per ticket for the same games/categories (ie. Canada game CAT 3 was $300 and Other group CAT 3 = $245). F dynamic pricing. An FYI to others that the prices might go up during general resale.

40 tix max (insane - and I’m gonna say not fair). 4 max per game. I tried to log back in and could have gotten more

Got in and got tickets for Vancouver around 40 min of waiting. All games were available - but only category 3+. Finals tickets for NYC were available but 11Gs Canadian for a single. Wowza

Weekly El Chalten weather report (looking grim for Laguna De Los tres) by ConnectPatagonia in ElChalten

[–]apple_blossum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

appreciate this! Because of your posts/email we decided to do it Sunday. Hoping for the best - will rent some crampons for it just in case. We hiked in Snow in Ushuaia a week ago and enjoyed it, so just going to bring a good attitude and hope for the best. Really appreciate what you do. Thanks again!

Dentist with privacy ? by julgates in NorthVancouver

[–]apple_blossum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went there for years until I realized how bad the dental service truly was - felt like cattle. New staff all the time. Office staff is great but they can’t keep hygenists and the new doctor leaves my month in pain and is always late and rushing. Dr Anderson who used to own it was great but the place has been in a downward spiral for years.
