Nicaragua is closed
Friday, May 16th, 2008First and foremost – CONGRATS! to Joline and Derek on their engagement. Haha, managed to get a call in from the Nicaraguan border to hear the news. This also brings me to a very important travel tip that I subsequently acquired via situational learning: do not do any kind of currency exchange with non-official peeps when you are distracted….! In fact (and I KNOW this will sound very obvious to yall but I did know what I was doing … just didn´t quite pull through in the intelligence part when the time came) if you are travelling across the border only change $20 if you know you can´t get to a bank at the border. Then change the bulk of money @ the bank M&F, 9-5, and bring id. If this isn´t going to work for you, get a quote from more than 1 person, walk away and do the calculations yourself. And don´t be like me and simply ´know´ these tips…actually follow through on them when the time counts. Got a wee-bit ripped off getting into Nicaragua…oops! [read on]
