I did my research ahead of time, had numerous calls with Continental to make sure all my ducks were in a row and followed all the procedures, and it was smooth sailing with Continental and the US side of things. The difficult part was at the Cargo Complex at EZE and dealing with Senasa (the immigration department). I had no idea it would take 3 hours of process and paperwork (3rd world country) and that after a 10 hour flight, no one in the cargo compound would take responsibility for my baby and take her out for a walk or potty break. She wound up being in the crate for 17 hours! I felt like I was springing her out of jail after walking to numerous buildings in the compound and doing this, then go here and do that, then go here... it was very frustrating and I just wanted to see her and know that she was ok. I was extremely blessed that my Remesis driver came in with me to help. Though he did not speak much English, he knew what I was there to accomplish and helped me get through each step in the process (there were many) since it's doubtful that anyone in the Cargo complex speaks English. Though my dog was a bit traumatized when she arrived, she was very happy once we got back to my apartment and has been extremely happy (and spoiled) ever since. This is definitely a dog city.

We brought 10+ suitcases and the dog with no problem. You simply go to the pet area and present all the paperwork from the USDA to get stamped and pay the fee. We had to use our horrible Spanish to communicate, but we managed. Victoria – we’re on tourist visas too and had no problems with customs or the airport.

We will probably be using your services when we bring Delilah back to the U.S. and need to get the necessary paperwork for the return trip. Jim – thanks for the comment.

I'd also like your opinion on neighborhoods. I thought I wanted San Telmo - but have read several times that it's dangerous..true ?? SHould I stay in Palermo with all the parks ?

I'm packing my PC and LCD into a couple of suitcases as well. I'd rather pay the extra baggage charges.
