Maracaibo Venezuela

[CartagenaPapito]

Just received today an email flyer from an agency that is going there now on tours. Seems like a good alternative and I would imagine all the low flying fruit is still there waiting to be plucked. Anyone been to this city?
Okie this could be a good alternative for you.

Well it's nice to see that I can finally say that.

I was just there in September and November of this year.

I went there to see a girl and I have mixed emotions about it right now. I had a good time, but I was with her. As I am writting this, I am trying to look at it with hindsight and some things that I thought were good, would be different if I was there by myself.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Have Fun!

Ok. Do you have the information concerning this new agency?  I don't know if it would be a viable alternative for me, but I sure want to check it out.  I don't know about Maracaibo, but I have heard that Caracas is very expensive.  Now, I will admit I have not been to Venezuela, but that is what I hear.  If this should turn out to be a good thing, then great!  From what I know about Venezuela, the women are hot.  However, I will be the first to admit that most of my exposure to Venezuela and several other LA countries is the Miss Universe Pagaent.  Needless to say, that is not a very realistic way to gauge what the available, "everyday" girls would be.  But, still, I am curious.  Please send me the info.

From what I know, it is a center of their oil industry.

Actually given what I've been seeing on TV lately, could Venezuela be a bit too dangerous and unstable to visit, at least if there are alternatives?  It seems to hover on a brink of civil war for quite some time.  I do realize that Colombia already does have a civil war, but it seems that the major cities at least are secure.
