The Expat Files - Deals and Phones - 09/09/12

!!! IMPORTANT- UPCOMING SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

I’ve been asked by many listeners if will ever do another Latin American “Expat Wisdom” seminar like the one I just held (off the gringo tourist trail) in Central America. Seems that word has gotten around just how fun and successful that one was, and now there has been a surge of interest for another. If you twist my arm I will consider it  – this time once again with just 24 people, no more. So I need all of you interested folks to send me a very short email at theexpatfiles@gmail.com so I can put you on my private mailing list and get things started. I am thinking about doing it in early December or early January 2012; just a few days after the world ends according to the Mayan calendar. I’ll fire off the details as they come (not about the end of the world… about the seminar) .

-A continuation of last week’s topic on moving and storage. What should you do once your stuff down here and you haven’t actually got a permanent place to put your valuable junk?

-How to get the best deals on new and used appliances and furnishings. How to replenish some of the crap you sold up north for a song and come out smiling again.

-Everything a gringo needs to know about cell phones, pricing, plans, terms and cell phone service in Latin America including calls to the states and other countries.
