$8 Fares to Medellin on Spirit Airlines? Giddyup!

ClubHombre.com: South America: Colombia: Advice/Questions/Commentary: $8 Fares to Medellin on Spirit Airlines? Giddyup!

Spirit Airlines keeps sending me emails offering cheap flights to Medellin. Since I AM only human, I just booked a flight for Easter weekend at $8 each way. Add taxes and the total comes to a whopping $115

The catch? Lot's of 'extras' that cost more!

$15-25 per checked bag (I'm taking carryon)

$25 per leg to book your seat in advance

Just one question - does anyone know if Medellin shuts down for Easter weekend?

I have not been to Colombia yet but if its like all the rest of the Latin american countries, Yes! Sundays in general are bad, so Easter Sunday,it may be very slow.

Geezzzz Playboy can't you take one day off? Great day to give the organ a rest! - Somehow I feel your visit again to Medellin will be "ugly". Yes I might be out of town that time. - Hemp

Kiss off Friday as well. There is no worse weekend in the year. I hope you have a little red book filled with phone numbers.

You may have 3 days in a row where many stores, bars, and restaurants are closed.

Enjoy your flight and your right hand

I do hope someone forget s about Easter long enough to make your trip enjoyable.....good luck!

Don't sweat it playboy, I've got some numbers for you. Medellin is better on an off day than Costa Rica is on an on-day...

Thanks Jonesie - i'll take ya up on those numbers. Good thing I've got a few chicas on my list.

Do any of the locals know if Mayorista closes during Friday and Saturday before Easter Sunday??

And can anyone recommend a good church for Sunday?

Yes "Father Hemp" will probably be sprinkling some Holy Water from the Hot Tub that day!
I am sure we can invite some "Alter Girls" over for Mass Playboy you definitely need to go to Confession from what I can remember from your last visit. -

Playboy,

you can do us both a big favor. Get with Hemp as he has a laundry list of women, nice ones. After you get to his place be sure and pee in the hot tube for me! Thanking you in advance.

CFK

CFK,

Hemp's hot tub is already a veritable cesspool of DNA samples, and looks remarkably similar to a bowl of eggdrop soup enough as it is without me peeing in it.

Were it not for the risk of artificially inseminating the old lady that lives one floor beneath him, I would drain Hemp's hot tub before and after each use.

Rest assured that I will NOT be peeing or otherwise interacting with Hemp's hottub while I'm there.

Respectfully,

Playboy

Playboy the old lady (80) living below me said she kind of liked your style from your last trip. I can fix you up on your next trip if you like? She said she would be available to attend Mass here on Sunday afternoon. Let me know? - Hemp

Alls I know is I would sure hate to be your neighbor Hempy. That constant parade of chicas in high heels walkin around the apartment above me would make me crazy!

The only mass your old neighbor should attend to is the mass on her knees, but a good support bra should take care of that

Hemp - leave the light on for me buddy! Be there soon!!

"Little Hempy" has an amazing affect on women, witness

CFK; That's so wrong, but funny as hell. Sorry Hemp

Roadglide

CFK is just jealous that his "Lil CFK" is not as cute as "Lil Hempy". Plus Lil Hempy get's a lot more action with the Paisas! - CFK

Hemp,

I know girls follow 'Lil Hempy' everywhere, but it's only out of curiosity

Today is Sunday, I hate Sundays because I know what Hemp does on Sundays! I wonder how much longer before the warranty on the hot tub runs out.

CFK

You are correct CFK. I am heading to the store to get more steaks and booze for the Sunday Hot Tub Party. Small one today only 6 Chicas. Too bad you can't CUM! I will be thinking about you for a (minute) anyway. - Hemp

Oh yeah Playboy I forgot - too bad you can't CUM either.

Wow is this thread really about getting laid? Perhaps everyones ego is bigger than their members? Who cares? This is sophmoric at best. The only worth while statement was that Playboy may be onto a way to get cheap tickets to South America. That is worthwhile for my paying for membership in CH.

I know you other guys are experienced mongers too but couldnt you use your time to help out the other newer members rather than trying to flame one another? Who cares about that shit anyway? Glad your getting laid in a hot tub. Sorry you are not. I am sure everyone has the pesonality to go out and get laid big deal.

Ok so tell me why the medillin mansion is the place to visit and what is the phone number there? I have not received answers to my emails about wanting to visit this establishment.I want to arrange for a room and women and can I arrange for a van to pick me up and take me from the airport to the mansion? Anyone whom can constuctively help out with the ansswers to these questions would be very welcome. Thank you. Flamers can go eat Balut third stage.

Easy, Duke. Sophomoric? Sure. But these guys are just kidding around. They're all good friends. The flames you see are just smoke...

I'd probably sit the MM out for a minute. My last visit was less than impressive, and several friends I've referred to them have had snags due to poor choices Mansion staff/management made.

I had some nice times there over the last year, but it seems they have a few things to work out and I'd recommend letting them do it on their time and not yours...

duke,

maybe you tried this already not sure:

medellinmansion.com

there is a phone number listed. i've never been to columbia but a friend of mine went recently for his first visit. he stayed at castillo which i believe is "related" to the mansion. you might want to read some reports on this site to see which one is right for you. my friend visited the mansion a few times during his visit and was happy he chose castillo.

enjoy.

p.s. the banter you see above is part of what makes this site fun. there are very few serious flames here. only good intentioned heckling. although from time to time a serious flame heats up and those can be fun too !!!!!

Well, listening to Bartles and James bantering about getting laid is certainly a tribute to Viagra and Cialis and really, nothing more, but maybe your questions aren't getting answered due to the way you ask them? The Mansion has, I don't know, only a thousand or two discuss posts, threads, trip reports, etc on this site, did you read all of that? To be honest, you pretty much can't avoid reading about the Mansion if you read anything related to Medellin on this site.

Your best bet if you really want to stay at the Mansion is give them a call. Here is their US Phone numbers (312) 546-4301, (312) 546-4681

Keep in mind that you ARE dealing with people in Latin America, so if you are expecting E-Mail to be promptly replied to, and phones to be answered on the second ring, your expectations may be too high.

Bartles and James???? You mean Statler and Waldorf?

You need to recognize why we are here....we are here to share information and ideas, take a breather and hang-out. Think of coming onto Clubhombre as the ability to high-five a buddy across the country or across the world, or brighten someone's day. CH is our cyber-bar, our Cheers....where everyone knows our screenames.

CFK

CFK-
So that's what you've been doing--brightening our days? Must be why I'm feeling sooooo much better about life. Thanks!
Bwana

CFK please a little less brightness! "Some" of the guys don't like it I think? We need to be totally serious in our posts and informative from now on. -Thanks! Hemp

Hemp,

do you want to change your screename to Norm, or how about Cliff? You could wear a postal uniform, although I don't think that's the kind of uniform chicks dig. If we all lived near each other we'd burn down the town together every weekend.

Mitch,

I would have to agree with you, they are much more like the Muppets since both have been known to have hands and fingers inserted into their lower orifice for manipulative purposes.

Statler and Waldorf?
Both are ornery and disagreeable, constantly complaining and the two were always insulting someone. The two delight in heckling and always have the last word, with a final comment at the end of each episode. Rumored to have been modeled after two of Henson's college professors, but now I believe after two prominent CH members!!
