Pereira, Colombia

Found out I have almost 10 days off around Thanksgiving weekend before and after. Thinking about Surprising my Novia for the Holiday since I know Christmas will be impossible. I found flights out of IAD for 700 RT, Thats cheaper than flying out of Miami.

Also COPA/Aerorepublica has a flight to Pereira from Panama City and Aires Air has BOG-PEI route. you get a cheap RT to BOG then maybe intra-country a decent fare, just watch the connections etc.

Platinum_space: I am also planning to surprise my best friend (female) next October for her 25th birthday in Santa Marta.

I wish you the best of luck, organising the surprise. Ignore these people who think she has a 'novio Colombiano'. In this case, it happened to me when ex-novia from Bogota had a local boyfriend. She and I were engaged. I would have wanted to make her surprise for her 35th birthday this December, but we are no longer together. I hope your novia is 100% genuine to you.

Anyway, the worse thing that can her mother and auntie keep secret for your surprise? That's the biggest problem!! I do hope that they can genuninely keep secret ...

GOOD LUCK!!

I think I am ok, mine does not go out to any club on weekends or anything. I been talking to her for a year now and everything is the same. She has not learned any english so I know there is no Gringo either.
