I'll be in BA October 14-17 some business (I'll PM you, Gaucho100k), some pleasure. If I stay somewhere with an outdoor pool will it be nice enough to use it (not asking for a weather predictions, just what is normal that time of year).
Thanks!
Thanks!

An unheated pool? My guess is you'll be on your own.

The water in our pool (pathetic collapsible thing) isn't survivable even in December until the sun has been on it for a few hours. In October it's still packed away in the cupboard.
My guess is most decent standard hotel pools in BA will be heated......I know the Novotel one is.

I think permanent outdoor pools are a waste of time and space here unless you have them heated and are keen on swimming. You can only squeeze at the most half a years use out of them and that's really pushing it.
Anyway, my wife has the sole use of our dinky collapsible plunge pool. You won't see me anywhere near it.

Last month I could do successive transactions of $1000, $1000, $950 (although my US bank daily limit is greater than that). The Banelco/LINK networks only allow a maximum of $1000 per transaction (that's pesos). Each transaction has a separate network charge ...

That is the limit for a machine on the Bancelo network, which is almost all the ATM's in Argentina, however if you go to a Citibank they have 2 types of machines one on the Bancelo network, and another on there own network which allows at least $4000 pesos per transaction.
