    Uh oh! Comment
    Uh oh!~~I am not hearing too much about what your Colombian wives want! Though the "American" perspective may be that... wives will just fit in. It is important to take an extended trip there with your wives to see how they actually fit in....

    Cheap vs Lifestyle Comment

    Shipping Cost Comment
    Shipping Cost~~I think shipping cost is the least of your worries. You need to deal with import taxes, customs brokers,... public transportation in South America is often quite good and inexpensive. Why not leave your gas guzzler at home?...

    'Fridays'?~~Who on earth would go to Ecuador to eat at Fridays?
