we hear alot of talk about certain agencies in cali but some agencies never get mentioned. we always hear about latin encounters, latin love , norms new agency and LWL. im wondering does anyone here have information on some of the others such as L L M , latin best ,latin internet and a few of the others? i have emailed all these agencies and only heard back from latin internet. i am very curious about latin best and LLM , oh and alegrate. has anyone here ever dealt with these agencies and what do you think of them?

I contacted all of them about two month ago. At the time they all charged a membership fee, including Latinbest. Now over the past few weeks some of them are dropping membership fees and charging per day rates. I guess the memberships have left a bad taste in customer's mouths. One of the agencies I'm staying at in June has waived it's fees.

The one I'm staying at my second week in Cali is Robert's agency latinwomenconnection. $ 35.00 per night for a room in the condo. Margareth also offered me a per night rate of $ 69.00.  Just ask...and you will recieve. Seems like business is a little slow in Cali, and with a few of the agencies now gone, the others are willing to "give a little." I didn't ask for any waivers or discounts; I simply asked what the per night rate was.

Have fun.

i head to cali on saturday
will spend 2 weeks there
1st week at Latin women connection
2nd week at norm's

i will also get a week long membership to Latin Best.

Guys i trust say it is a great place.
the only problem is that they dont provide translators.
But if you are fluent you dont need them
if you arent, then it will cost you an extra $15 to $20 a day to hire a translator on your own, or they can provide you one for $8/hour

I believe LLM and L-I are membership agencies, which i did not want to do.

dont know much about oh and alegrate

hi jesse, thanks. hmmm...see that could be a problem for me my spanish es poco.wow..where  can you get a translator for $15.00 a day ? i'd pay that! every translator i came across wanted $8 to $10 an hour! jesse how much did latin best want for a one week membership? yes i think you are right about L I and L L M they are membership agencies. like i said i know very little about L L M, they wont respond to my emails and i have not met even one person that is a member of that agency.

Latin best charges $50 for a week membership, if you do not stay at their B&B

I'm unsure but the cost is $35 to $50 a night if you stay there, with unlimited intros

Norm has some extra translators he calles when he gets crowded at his place

hi jesse, man you are getting close to blast-off time arent you? if you remember i was gonna try to hook up with you because your schedule is similar to what i want to do 10 days  in cali then 10 days in brazil . however my business requires that i be here in june , i hope to blast off in early july and follow your program. $50. for a week is reasonable and $35. at roberts certainly sounds reasonable. i think i will look more closely into those two. thanks again.
