Colombia will be fine, especially if you're going somewhere like Medellin or Barranquilla. They've had Venezuelan refugees there for years. Capturing Maduro won't make a difference

Nah, straight 3 hour flight from Frt. Lauderdale. Cartagena is a great place. The walkability of the French Quarter, without the fear of getting shot. A very strong police presence.

I was being funny, in my non-humorous way.

Cartagena is really fun. Getsmani and the walled city are great bases but i also like staying in the Rosario islands.

Such a vibrant neighborhood.

Any recs, and why you enjoyed them? I haven’t heard of them; I’m not a big planner—we went to Colombia over Christmas a couple of years' ago just because a coworker recommended it.

Check out the Spotted Dog sporting goods store while you’re there. Excellent gun inventory.

I have an old friend who has some business interests in Cartagena; he also has a huge townhouse in the right part of the old city.

It is indeed an extremely target-rich environment.
