Hi Kevin,

Thanks so much for your kind offer. It is important to know that there are friendly assistance closer than home. I have sent you an email so we can hook up.:D

A note tp bump up this thread.

Anyone knows how much it will cost to draw funds from ATM machines in S. America using the PLUS system? Is it easy to operate?

?c?

I'm in Chile and it regularly costs about $6 to take out money, and the maximum around here is $200, though I hear it's more in other places.

I also am offering a place to rest and chat next to the ocean. 178 km north of Santiago, 1km off the main highway 5. Email me at LC at LorraineChittock.com for directions/waypoint.

You have to love dogs, I have four! Two of them I brought with me from Kenya, we traveled all over Latin America in a ex-police van. ;-)

Thanks for the headsup, I shall note down your contact and let you know when I am in Chile.:scooter:

Hmmm...$6 to take $200, that is 3% handling charge, plus charges from the account opening bank (HK) I am looking at 6%! Wow, who can make more profit by giving someone their own money? I think I am in the wrong business.:nono:

Hi Franki,

I will go from SFO early Oct and team UP with Michael. We will cross the Darien Gap with Stahlratte begin of Nov. If chance given - you will met us on the road.

Cheers,

I'll be leaving San Fran November 1st approximately for my ride to South America. Would love to meet some of you guys and chat!
Cheers, Bill

Hi Bill,

Hey that sounds like fun. Well, everything sounds fun to me. Im crossing the border around October 3 or 4 (or 5, who knows) somewhere near reynosa if anyone wants to cross together. This is my first trip:mchappy:

Hey Franki (and anyone else coming through),
Shoot me an email at bbdesignbuild@gmail.com when you are here, or before and we'll make a plan to meet up!

Hi Airdale,

Looks like you are crossing from the East and I am from the West. However, since our departure date is close, there is a chance we cross our path somewhere in C. America. Stay in touch on this thread and we'll see faith put us together or not. Its my first trip too, bier

Franki
