Mrs. Fixit

I will be in Santiago very soon and need a hotel at the start of my trip and the last 2 nights of my trip. We are meeting my daughter and we would want a room for three. We want clean, safe, charming would be nice and not too pricey, by that I mean less than $150 a night , I'm frugal what can i say. i'd rather spend money on an activity than a place to sleep. Speaking of that if you can recommend any activities in the greater Santiago area or beyond, have at it!

Thanks for your imput!

I am thinking of renting with this company they have been in business for 20 years. I plan on driving all over the country and I am wondering if they have reliable cars. They only have offices in Santiago and I wonder if this might be a problem 1 week into my trip. Any advice would be appreciated .

I arrive in Santiago Jan 6,2008. I am trying to figure out the best way to explore Chile until I leave January 22. I will be in a party of 3 and I would like to go to Patagonia and see the ice flows and other sights but the 5 day cruise and airfare would run over $8000 US for 3 of us. Does anyone have any experience or pointers to share? I leave in a week.

I had a wild critter removal guy tell me that a racoon would catch and eat a rat that is why when i found the remnants of the skunk in the yard I thought the coon did it. Would a domestic cat kill a skunk? This is a fenced yard and I don't think a dog could get it but maybe a fox, would a fox kill a skunk? Sorry for all the possible scenarios but I want to solve the mystery! Thanks

I found abunch of skunk fur in the yard and of course I smelled it too

Does anyone know if Sunrocket is still in business? I can't get anyone by phone and my service has no dial tone. If I call my # the recording says this number is not in service! help they took my $200 and I had service for 2 months only!

has anyone used FoxAuto parks or 105 airport parking? Please tell me if you've had any problems Thanks

do the shuttles come very often and do you think it is a secure spot?

I'm traveling to Costa Rica later this month. I have reserved a vehicle. Is it highly recommended to purchase the collision damage/ theft insurance in addition to the deductible protection and the personal Liability? This is an additional cost of $45 a day or $260 to the rental. Anybody out there have any experience with or without to pass on? Also I understand the roads are horrid and we were looking for a vehicle that could carry 7 passengers..A Toyota HiAce Microbus is available. Will that give us the clearance we need to get around or would it be recommended to get the premium SUV that also seats 7 ? Any advice is appreciated both questions please!

I have phones in 7 different locations in my house other than where the gizmo needs to be connected. Is there a way to network my existing phones without trading them for a bunch of satelite portable phones?

I broke a aqua color glass mixing bowl. one piece fell off so it fits together well but needs to be glued what is the best glue to use I am hope it can be fixed. thanks...D
