Thanks for linking to my site. And congrats on your trip!! I am in Colombia, returning to the DC area in late February. It has been amazing, and I’m sure you’re having a great time too.
I like the more detailed way you’re breaking down costs, and giving sample prices. Kudos! I think this data is almost the best thing we can offer back to people planning future trips, though the whole economic turmoil has made the currencies go crazy.
