Re: Bolivia

Traci -- you going to come back with more pictures, memories and still wonder why you didnt buy the 8g memory card for your Nikon.
I know that the area you will be in will most likely be some breathtaking location and you are going to be like... when am I coming back here again ?

Check here http://members.virtualtourist.com/vt/s/?m=6&l.q=17b8c6  here are some of those ugly places that you are going to travel to.. <-- read with lots of sarcasm on the word "ugly"

Check here for more information on

Cochabamba

Re: Bolivia

You might get in touch with Ad Konings in El Paso...if you will have time to collect he will be a worthwhile source of information...look up "Cichlid Press"

Re: Bolivia

Charles, you know if I had the money to goto Bolivia to collect, and got in touch with Ad... I would be asking him about going with us the Rift Lakes in Africa.. I would love to have someone like him with me on a trip of a life time to Lake Malawi or Tanganyika.

Is the store on track to open in March ?

How would I get in touch with him?  I don't see any contact info on Cichlid Press website.

Re: Bolivia

I've been to Peru and pretty high up...did not do anything to me...and I have had any and all shots you can think of...when you're young it's no big deal...some of them make your arm sore for a couple days...but that's about it...just don't look like a "rich American" and you'll be cool...all your nice jewelry stays home...put most of your money in your front pockets and carry a purse with a long strap across the front of your body...the backpack won't do...they'd have that empty without you even knowing...and the rest of the good tourist hints...do not drink water that's not bottled...no icecubes either, no fresh fruit or salad which has been washed in the local water...meat well done only...and if they shoot...hit the floor first and ask questions later (just kidding...) ...you will be fine...

Re: Bolivia

As far as altitude sickness... don't worry about it. You'll be fine. Just don't physically exert yourself right after you off the plane. I'm sure you'll have a nice time in Bolivia. I went to Peru on my honeymoon.
