After my latest carry on at EZE when trying to leave this country it might be best if I hide on Wednesday or they might deport me.
Over two years after I first applied and I'm still waiting for my DNI.

Of course... you would not be caught dead in Cattle Class. I think Im missing the IBanking world... a million Pardons, I forgot I was talking to a RMF...

I will, of course, be flying up in Clase Basura... will post a trip report so that you can keep updated on what we cabezas have to endure...

I am reminded of that book, what was it called, Un Argentino Humilde?

My vuelos nacionales in Chile are in the one and only class the country has. Meanwhile, back on topic, what to buy for lunch on Wednesday when I get there Tuesday. I may have to learn how to turn my oven on I always seem to heat things up in the toaster/oven. I will, however, be armed to cook. I am importing what will possibly be the most valuable thing in my place - a 200 sq' roll of Reynolds Aluminum Foil. That, and peppercorns.

Yes of course... I stand corrected. Actually, Juan Francisco's list I already know by heart.... he has been drilling it to me for the past 2 weeks in such a way that at this point I can recite it backwards in Sanskrit... no need to write that down in no list... ^

Is there a shortage of Reynolds Wrap in Buenos Aires? We're coming down later this week and could bring some as presents.

The real Reynolds Wrap does not exist here... they dont import it. The local stuff is not usable..... I will kill for the Heavy Duty Version of the Reynolds wrap.... will trade for Malbec...

Do they make a Food Service version roll, one of those extra large and heavy rolls...???

I've never heard of Reynolds Wrap.

I use PRO-LUMINIO USO PROFESIONALL in a 5 metre roll. Perfectly adequate and comparable to anything available in the UK. ^

Gaucho;
they sell it in 500 and 1000 foot rolls!

http://www.amazon.com/Global-Industr...130683&sr=1-38
http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Heavy-Du...130683&sr=1-35
http://www.amazon.com/BOARDWALK-Heav...130630&sr=1-15

Those prices are BS too, you should be able to find a 1000' long, 18" wide heavy duty role for under $100. No need to order online and wait either, just about any restaurant supply store where you're traveling this week will have it:

So the real question is, are you crazy enough to haul 10 kilos of aluminum foil back to Argentina??? I would love to see the customs inspectors react to that^

I think I will bring back home what is left of my "industria argentina" foil roll so people can see what I meant when they thought I was crazy for bringing foil down here.
