Two weeks to my Barranquilla trip.  I am relatively new to the board.  I have mostly read the posts and find all the information provide very helpful.  I actually started in 1993 with a trip to Kiev and then in 1999 I went to Cali.  Both times I focused on one girl and didn't meet many others.  In between I have been engaged to two American women but over time I just didn't have the right feeling about those relationships.  So here I am now still searching for the right person for me.  I said I wouldn't settle for someone that wasn't perfect for me but didn't think it would take 12 years and counting to find them.  I intend to try my best to follow all the great advice and meet several different ladies and see where it goes.

I am not sure how many gringos will be there.  I am going the week right after they are having their monthly tour.  I would think that there might be at least a couple of guys hang around past their seven days on the tour.  I have heard good things about Susana and hope things will be fine. I will let you know upon my return about no shows and how things worked out.

Susana is terrific. Buy her lunch or something and get on her good side. No shows probably run at a higher percentage in BAQ so I will be interested in your reports. There is not much to do in BAQ. I mostly went to the gym, mall/movies, and piso 26 for cocktails at night. keep us posted

Where in Missouri do you live?  Just curious.  I live in the Tulsa, Ok area. I wish you all the best on your search.
Are you using an agency in BAQ?  What drew you to BAQ, as opposed to some other city in Colombia? Do you speak spanish?  Well, enjoy yourself.

Thanks.  I live in the St. Louis area.  I wanted to try something different from Cali and I like the ocean and thought I would give it a try.  I am using Barranquilla Best and I can speak some Spanish.  I have been studying to refresh my memory.  I have to ask them to speak slowly to understand and sometimes use the dictionary.  The last time I went I had trouble at first but by the end of my ten day trip I was speaking and understanding fairly well.  I hope it comes back to me quickly.

if yu like the ocean, the beach is not all that good in BAQ. You might try San Andres (but bring your own chica). CTG is better than BAQ but not much in terms of the beach

Thanks for the information.  I don't know much about Barranquilla other than what I have read on the board.  I hope any ladies I meet will let me know the best places to go.

BAQ is probably the ugliest major city in Colombia and in stark contrast to the beauty of Medellin and other places.  That being said, for some reason I really like it. The beaches are crappy. Again, however, you are only a little over an hour away from better beaches in Cartagena and an hour or so flight to San Andres Island, which has nicer waters. In BAQ, I recommend the top floor of the Barranquilla Plaza Hotel or Piso 26 (26th floor). It has nice views of the city, food, drinks and dancing. There are several affordable gyms. You have the Buena Vista mall for shopping and movies. The El Prado hotel a block or so from the BB office is worth a visit and a cocktail poolside

Thanks Papi for all the insights on Barranquilla.  I will try and keep them in mind on my trip there.
