Godfather,

Thanks for the memories of Sandy. She is great.

Do yourself a favor, and if you can change your travel dates to BA, please do so. The entire town will be dead during the Christmas and New Years time frame. Best to go to Rio during that time, and hang out at the beach, clubs, Termas, and Help. BA shuts down tighter than a drum during Christmas and New Years.

If you will be spending your time with a favorite girl, then fine. Do not expect to find anyone at the clubs or elsewhere though, as they are with their families during this time.

After about January 6th, the town will start to revive, but you can expect reduced availability at the clubs or reduced quality or both.

Thanks for the tip Moondog. Unfortunately that is the only time of year where I can get off 2 weeks in a row for work. I'm supposed to only get 4 weeks of vacation each year and this year I will have taken over 7 weeks. I know it will be slower in BA but I'm not worried. I've already talked to 4 or 5 girls that will be in BA over that time period.

The scary thing is that I love BA just as much for the city, the restaurants, the non pro girls, the atmosphere, the scenery, etc. I can't seem to get Buenos Aires out of my head. The last trip took me almost 3 months to forget. Now I'm worse! My friends joke that Buenos Aires is my "girlfriend". I love it with a passion, I don't cheat on "her" (i.e. I haven't gone to any other international destinations since going there), I'm good to "her" and I keep going back for more.

Everytime I think about going somewhere else I think to myself...why bother? Buenos Aires has everything I want/need. I'm sure I'll hit Cuba in February with UWPhoto...now that should be REALLY interesting.

I also plan on spending time with the normal non-pro chicas I have met. Thanks for the memories BA!

Then you should have a good time if you know of a few that will be around. It will be fun to be with special ladies, just don't expect too much other action.

Enjoy the life,

Moondog

Well, I was sorry to see Godfather head out of town. I'd made a mistake when I booked my ticket and ended up with an extra day ... luckily I had made my hotel reservation by referring to my ticket, so I was covered.

Well, I was in high spirits with my magic extra 24 hours in Buenos Aires. I hung out with our new friend Jeff and Latasian and soon was joined by KickStart. The only thing that was really open was Cutty Sark. The pickings were slim, but soon we were joined by a little hottie. KickStand has already told the story, so I won't repeat it, but needless to say we spent quite a while telling of our adventures.

Jeff is quite the character and he regaled us of his time at Monte Carlo (a new club to me) and other episodes in BA and Thailand. Jeff had to leave for the airport and of course LatAsian and KickStand were occupied with their ladies, so Jeff and I decided to walk back over to Cafe Orleans for a last beer.

Holy sheeet! The place was packed. We had to stand at the bar. I counted six do-able or better girls in there and a lot of new faces I had never seen before, plus the usual regulars! Too bad I had a date with a good girl in less than an hour. Oh well, Cafe Orleans is redeemed in my book.

When my date was done, I hooked up with LatAsian. I had left my carrybag at Cutty Sark (complete with my new digital camera). When I showed up, the doorman immediately recognized me and said that the barman had my bag. Needless to say, they both got significant extra tips for that. We stayed for a beer, but then moved on.

We took a look in Cafe Orleans, but decided to go hit the ATM to prepare for the evening's adventures. After that, we had a guy approach us on Florida Avenue about a club Monte Carlo, supposedly 1 block away. Since Jeff had mentioned having a good time there earlier, we decided to check it out. He said the beers were only 8 pesos each. Turns out that it is more than a few blocks away, just around the corner from Hook and Ness.

Monte Carlo seemed nice enough as far as facilities goes, but the girls were older and scarier than most places. We ordered our beers and then were approached by two sharks. We chatted a bit. LatAsian tried to drink his beer, but it was harsh stuff ... I think he would have preferred to drink shoe polish. We declined to buy the girls a drink and escaped to Cattos.

It was immediately clear that there were a lot of girls in Cattos ... just like Cutty Sark and Cafe Orleans. What is up with that -- Mondays used to be dead, but now it is Saturday and Sunday. There are a bunch of Dominicans working there, but KickStand was collecting the obvious talent.

LatAsian suggested that we find a place to party for a few hours. We quickly formed a plan: each hire two girls and go to a ST hotel for a party, then split up for the night back to separate hotels. LatAsian had researched some short time hotels with big party rooms, but unfortunately didn't have the addresses with him. This turned out to be a fatal flaw. The second problem was that it was by now well past 2AM.

LatAsian was thinking of a repeat with Rafaela of Cattos, but her friend had already gone with someone else. So we left LatAsian to hold the fort, and LatAsian and I popped next door back to Hook.

Karina, who is usually quiet, was in a talkative mood. She asked if I wanted two girls tonight, but I explained that last time with the other girl from Paraguay (don't remember her name, redhead, giant nipples) they didn't get into each other. Karina explained that she didn't like the other girl, but since the other girl picked Karina she went.

I decided to try Karina one more time and told Karina to pick the other girl that she liked. She chose Valerie (who was just back from 1 month in Paraguay). Valerie has a smokin body, but small tits. I was happy and the two joined me for drinks, with Valerie resting on my lap.

Well, the party turned out to be a flop. When we finally found a ST hotel it was a dump and even the largest room wasn't worth it. We just bailed and went our separate ways, leaving KickStand to enjoy the room.

I had a lot of fun with Karina and Valerie, but they weren't into each other. Both are just so small! It was a good time, but they weren't into each other. When I asked Karina about it, she said that Valerie wasn't interested in her. I had forgotten to make it clear to Valerie, so I didn't force the issue. Besides, after we finished our first round, Valerie fell asleep on my shoulder. Turns out that she had spent 18 hours on the bus coming from Asuncion. I talked with Karina and just decided to send Valerie home.

I had brought some stuffed animals and cosmetics, and they were a big hit. I'd given Karina some earlier and she had her nails painted bright red ... a perfect color for her.

Karina and I had a long talk about Paraguay, her family, her older sister who works at Blacks. Although Karina was not my best session by far, I really like the girl. However, after this last round, the 3X rule kicks in and I'll have to be real careful. She is willing to take me with her to Paraguay and act as a guide for a few days. I might just take her up on it one of these trips.

Anyway, we have another great round and I send her home, even though I had negotiated for all night. I need 2 hours sleep before my 10AM date with another good girl. I get up at 9AM and pack, but run out of time and don't check out. My date turns into a 3 hour marathon, so I finally call the hotel at 1PM and tell them I'll be back to check out. On my return, I finish up and go to pay my bill. A whole extra $6USD which I pay with a 20 peso note. I made tons of calls, including lots to cell phones. Art Suites is very reasonable about phone charges.

I leave my luggage with the manager and go to find Latasian at the Etoile. We get busy chatting that we lose track of time, and then KickStand comes over so we chat some more. I am getting hungry and wanted to hit a parilla, but we have run out of time if I still want a last session.

KickStand has action already scheduled, so LatAsian and I decide to go see Cafe Orleans. The options are looking pretty good. I even see Rosie from Paraguay (who I have not seen all week) ... she has lost about 10 pounds and looks good. I know from prior experience that I just have to let her get on top and try to survive the ride, because it is like screwing a machine gun. But alas, the trip mantra of no repeats kicks in and besides, this cute little girl next door has all my attention.

I decide that I better make it fast. I make a quick trip to the ATM for a few last minute pesos. I call Paola over to the table and find out that she is Argentinian and has no kids, but I never even asked her age. Two minutes later we are done negotiating and walking to the Belo Horizonte. We get a room that is pretty normal (if your bedroom has mirrors on the ceiling) except for the chair mounted partway up wall of an alcove.

This girl was sweet and fun. Paola rocked my world for an hour. Have you ever wanted to do the "girl next door" in the ass? She was an excellent time and I'll have to look her up the next time I'm in town.

After we were done, I met LatAsian back at Cutty Sark and we took a cab back to Recoleta together. I took a cab to the airport for 24 pesos plus 3 for tolls and a nice tip.

Each trip gets better than the ones before, but frankly it is the time I have with the other hombres that makes the adventure complete. I am scheming to make a way to live in Argentina as soon as possible. If anyone knows anything about starting a business in Argentina or requirements for getting a business visa, please let me know. The best info so far that I have seen is at the PWC Global Visa Guide:

I just sent Hombre my pics, so hopefully he'll augment this report with them.

Salute!

Sounds like you guys did it up right. Glad you had a good time.

Karina, Valerie, and Rafaela surely brought back some memories...the other friend must be Romina. I'm glad you ended another great trip really well with Paola.

Don't your company have a huge office in Puerto Madero? Why not ask for a transfer there then look for other opportunity while on someone else's payroll...

Just got off the phone with UWPhoto. We share the same dream to live in Buenos Aires. I just got this email from Kick Stand. He is in Mar Del Plata right now.

Hey, Godfather

Well, as luck would have it, I remember that someone
on WSG posted that the La Capital newspaper had a
classified section.

I pulled a "UWPhoto crap shoot" and found an agency an
ordered some room service.

JACKPOT!!! Luciana. Blond, maybe 5'5. 90-60-90. Very
nice body. Tanned & toned. A few tattoos. Belly
piercing. Typical insane animal-like session that I
love. Likes kissing. Very passionate, fake or
otherwise. The bed moved from the wall like a foot. 2
hours for $150. This included the tip and cab fare.
Other indie listing in the newspapers list $20 - $30.
Not sure if pesos or USD. Either way, if she is the
standard, a STEAL!

Figured on not trying my luck again, so I asked her if
she would come back for dinner. She said yes. As long
as I didn't screw up in the translation, she should be
back at 7pm.

BAD thing about Mar del Plata. DEFINITELY a summer
place. Most businesses here are closed in the off
season. Was warned about certain areas last night by a
taxi driver. Also told me about a couple of places to
see women. Won{t be able to check them out because I
fly out tomorrow morning. Chocolate was one. Heh
heh....my kinda place. I can't remember the other.
Most of the happenings appear to be on Avenida
Constitucion. When I cruised it last night, mainly
dead due to the off-season. I may come back here
instead of BA to check out the beach scene. Cheap
flight here. $180 pesos roundtrip in a turbo prop.

I'm staying at the Torres de Manatianles. Booked
through Mayra. For 2 nights, $312(more or less) pesos.
VERY nice place. Huge apartment 2-bedroom, yes TWO,
room. One queen and 2 singles. Spa facilities, 2
resturaunts, game room, pub, etc. I'd stay here again.
In the Argentine summer. One problem is that few of
the staff speak english. They DO have people that
speak it but not as many as I saw in BA. The price you
pay, I guess. Room service was a challenge but I
weathered the storm.

Pass on to the fellas please. I'll look up that other
club name and e-mail you.

Godfather, you can add me to the list of those with a dream to live in BsAs...I am going to look for apartments when I am there in October...I have worked out things work-wise to spend several months per year in BsAs...phase one...phase 2...year round residence....

Kickstand's updates are appreciated...One of his dates is a friend of mine...it's interesting to hear her professional talents described, since I have never been with her in that capacity. Glad to know she is good at her job..hehe...

Yeah, I'd try for a transfer Sakebomb, but the company is only hiring locals for peanuts. No money to pay for expensive expats with crappy spanish. Maybe in a few years ... but I am scheming of ways to get down there on my own.

KickStand just has to learn that sometimes you gotta roll the dice to be a player, especially on new turf. I prefer not to totally gamble, but rather take calculated risks (though admittedly sometimes higher than going with the known, well-vetted venues). I think of it as taking one for the team.

Sakebomb, when you coming back to BA? The girls definitely still remember you and miss you (or at least your wallet). Several of them asked when you were returning? Karina and Valerie in particular.

I was going to hop over after my Sao Paulo trip 10 days ago, but Delta wanted 1100usd to change my ticket so we backed out. As much as I love BA and all the beautiful women there, I still have Cuba and the Eastern Block, especially the Czech Republic on my priority list. "Explore your World". So I'm thinking about returning to San Jose for one week after 5 year and one week in Havana in the near time.

Keep me inform of your decision regard moving to BA. How does Rafaela look these days? That sweetheart scared the sheet out of me for almost a month about having my baby. Thanks.

Sakebomb.... UWPhoto is right. A few chicas asked me about you. They remembered that we were hanging out. I even saw a few of the poor kids in Recoleta that called you "Panchito". That one kid asked about me. It's amazing that with all the tourists that come to BA that some of these people remembered us.

Never been to Czech Republic but I know dudes (including my best friend) that have been there and tell me it's overrated.

I just booked my hotel portion for my December trip. Gonna be at Design Suites from December 19th for 6 nights...then flying to Mar Del Plata for 4 nights...then headed back to BA for 6 nights. I can't wait!

Ezy, I really hope to hook up with you in Buenos Aires. I'm almost positive that I'll meet you there in the near future. I can envision a bunch of us down in Recoleta, sitting at La Biela drinking some coffee and talking about life and the wonderful women of BA.

Life is good!

P.S. If you use Mayri (mayra@argentinago.com) ask her to arrange transport for you with Sergio Alvaro (Movil #03). He is the dude with the Mercedes. His English is perfect and a nice fellow.

Godfather, I will be in BsAs in October, again in February, and from mid-May to mid-July...I might work in one more in-between trip using ff miles...

Where are you staying in Mar Del Plata? There are only about 2-3 good hotels...the rest are 3 star at best by U.S. standards...the Coastal Galana is THE hotel there....

http://hotelcostagalana.com/hotelcostagalana/PrincipalCastellano.htm

The aparthotel your friend Kickstand is in is another good choice, though it is not directly on the beach.

Ezy,

Looks like we share the same tastes in hotels. I booked the Coastal Galana today with Mayri! It looks awesome. I booked the Executive Suite there. Yes, I've learned that 5 star hotel is a relative term in S. America.

I hope we can hook up in May. I take a 7-10 day vacation every year in mid-May. Keep me posted on dates and we'll have some lunch/dinner together.

Godfather...The Coastal Galena is an excellent hotel and set directly in front of the nicest beach in Mar del Plata. I was disappointed with Mar del Plata overall, with the exception of the hotel and this section of beach....Are you taking a chica or are you planning to focus on local talent? I have heard that many girls from BsAs go on working vacations in MDP in January,but I really don't know if much is available in December. If you go out in search of chicas...please file one of your running reports...grin...

A question: What type of rate are you getting at Design Suites and are you staying in a studio or one-bedroom? I have thought about staying there....Also, I have emailed your friend but her responses to me have been a bit slow...and I can't find a phone number on her web site. I'm sure she has not had time to respond to me since you are keeping her busy with your travel plans...

ezy

Hi Ezy. I hope Mar del Plata is a fun trip. I'm only spending 3 nights there as to not waste any time if it sucks. I will probably just do the searching of chicas in MDP although I did ask a few cuties if they will be in BA the exact dates I'll be in town. The ones I asked said they would and would be available to travel with me.

Anastacia from Platynum had a model body and very pretty face. She quoted 1000 pesos per 24 hour period. I know that's a lot of money for down there but I have a feeling she stays busy. I might fly with her for the first day and then send her back to BA so I can hobby. Or I might ask someone fun like Sandy to go with me and pick out other chicas in the clubs with me. Lots of possibilities.

I booked Design Suites through Mayri at a rate of $60 US per night + 21% tax. Cheapest rate I know of. Also, her best friend's dad owns the hotel. I'm really surprised she didn't email you same day you emailed her....she is usually very very quick with emails. I'll email you her phone number. She's great! UWPhoto also had lunch with her one day and I'm sure he can verify she is super cool and a great girl.

Mayri's email system has been down last 3 days. I just talked to her on the phone and she wanted me to let all of you know she is sorry if you emailed her.

Update on the Playwoman scene. I talked to one of my amigas that works there. It figures the week after I leave Lisa, Marisol, Paola and some others are now back working.

I was disturbed to learn that one of the super hot dancers that just came in to Playwoman to do those hot dance shows died last week. My amiga asked me if I remembered the super hot blonde dancer that came in. I told her, "Por suspuesto! (of course!). I kept asking everyone if this girl would leave and they said she only dances. Well, I guess she was married and she only danced in several clubs. When I asked how she died I was told she got Pneumonia and couldn't fight it. Makes you realize how short life can be. This girl was only 24 years old.
