Vacation Packages to Cali...

[Ken2]

Do they exist.  I found nothing yesterday on the internet.  I'd like a hotel with Airfare.  Any suggestions?  Or is it better to purchase the two seperately.  I need to get things ordered soon.  Any suggestions where to stay or what carriers to consider.  I found several flights w/ four layovers (a 24 hour ordeal?). No meals to boot.  Any leads appreciated.

I don't think FunJet or Apple Vacations go to Cali yet. Maybe in 3002. In the meantime AA has a sale on their website now of $329 Miami-Cali so just add the segment from Denver. I bought a very cheap flight for April using Continental and Copa that goes St. Louis-Houston-Panama City-Cali and it does get there in one day. From Orbitz. As to hotels what do you want to spend? Cali has lodging in every range. I can tell you where to stay at $4 a night (safe, clean, English spoken, two blocks off Avenida Sexta) or $100 a night or anywhere in between.

Thanks...

I'm thinking about $50.00 per night.  (That, in the states is a decent hotel - I guess not over there.)  

Also,  do you recall the name of the agency that cost $49.00 per night introductions included.  Hilton was sold on the place, pero I cant remember.

I think Robert Vignola at Latin Women Connection charges $50 per night at his condo to include agency use.

I think the Hotel Aristi, popular with foreigners is in that range but don't stay there. It's in a dangerous area.
I think Hilton was starting out at allcolombiangirls but I couldn't swear to it.

Cool, Either of you married to a Latina yet?

Who did you use when you flew there, which hotel did you use?  I found a flight for about $800.00 , hotels are $100 and up per night.  no luck at caliescali.com as far as lodging.  Any ideas?

Try "Travelocity.com" or "Expedia.com" for airfares. I know now there are specials to Cali. For instance I can go from Detroit to Cali for about $650 from now until May 2.  Thats with only one stop in Miami. less than 12 hour including layovers.

Also try Orbitz.com

Don't know about packages.  might try searching under key words "Cali Colombia" or "Colombia" and see if any travel gateways pop up.
From what I've heard, the agencies have a good deal if you want to say somewhere. It helps that someone there will be very accustomed to speaking English and dealing with American men.

Good luck and be safe.
