Greetings:
I'm a former Peace Corps volunteer who lived in the Santiago/Moca area for over two years, albeit 20 years ago. It seems from the posts I have read that not much has changed. I was considering going back next year, with my wife and 2 daughters, to visit some of the people I knew at that time (with whom I have re-established contact). I realize that I'm starting my research early, but time passes quickly, and I would like to investigate as much on-line as possible beforehand. I came across this web site and would like to ask some simple questions:
a. What's a good pension, B&B, hotel, etc. in Santiago that we could use as our base?? My wife and kids have never been to a developing country before so I don't want to shock them too much. Something clean and safe, but not fancy, would work fine.
b. I would like to fly directly into Santiago, but don't know the best route from the NYC area.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.
