Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	Holas, quisiera saber si puedo encontrar alguna experiencia de alguna persona peruana q viajo la 1ra. vez luego de haber recibido su permiso de viaje y green card, como es en los puertos de entrada y salida, especialmente en Peru, ya que en Lima Airport Partners son muy quisquillosos con pasaportes, DNIs y nombres. Mi Green Card salio con nombre de casada y quisiera saber si alguno tuvo algun problema ya q el unico pasaporte q tengo es el peruano y mi DNI ambos estan con nombre de soltera, tendre algun problema? Mil gracias por su ayuda. No se si es muy tarde para responder pero mi pasaporte y DNI estan con nombre de soltera. Y mi green card con mi apellido de casada. Nunca he tenido nigun problema al entrar o salir de Peru pero por si acaso lleva tu partida de matrimonio-copia- para que no tengas problemas.	Vi Mazzella	Female	Peru	2012-02-12 12:19:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	Hola! Llevo viviendo 7 anos en USA junto a mi esposo y tb tuve la misma duda. Mi pasaporte esta con mi nombre de soltera pero al llenar los formularios de mi green card lo llene con mi nombre de casada y todos mis documetnos aqui estan con mi nombre de casada. Mi caso es un poco especial ya que tuve la intencion de cambiar mi pasaporte peruano a mi nombre de casada pero en la Muncipalidad de San isidro que fue donde me case cometieron un error en el apellido e mi esposo y es por es emotivo que aun tengo mi DNI de Peru (con direccion en USA) con estado civil casada pero con mis apellidos de soltera.

Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	QUOTE (MandR @ Sep 21 2008, 08:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LAN is our 1st choice when flying to Lima..... There is no better airline to South America from the U.S. American was ok..... felt as though I was in a cattle car.... very cramped especially for a 6ft guy like myself and not much room to move around for 5 hours of flight time....... Did fly once to Lima in Business Class and of course no complaints.... Thank you Air Miles I've also flown on Copa through Panama to Lima and they are also good. Would I fly Spirit to save $100 or $200..... NO WAY !!! I would much rather pay the extra and fly LAN MandyR : We agree with you a 100%, I found a tkt for January NY-LIM-NY via AA for $486, not bad right?? the only problem is that my doctor doesn't want me to travel with the belly, I'm pretty sad-upset about that 'cause I know about a few friends that traveled to Peru being pregnant. Copa is a good airline too, plus the stop in Panama is super short, less than one hour and good prices. Susita: are you ready fo the trip??? Good Luck!!!!

Im so happy for you, I know how much you wanted to have a little one... What's your due date?!!! Maybe end of April? Make sure your doctor speaks spanish... please!! It might sound silly but after my experience, I would have loved my doctor to talk to my parents about my condition. How are you feeling? Morning sickness yet? Let me know if I can be any help... You have my email right? This visajourney thing doesnt send me the alerts for the replies. Hugs!! And belly pats!! Thanks Meli!! Yes, I think everybody here knows how much I want to have a baby, the due date is April 26th but because is my first baby you never know. My doctor doesn't speak spanish snif, snif. Yes, I'm not feeling me, I'm feeling so weird, I'm super emotional, I have what we call in Peru "Mamitis Aguda", I want my mommy!!!! I'm crying alot because I'm missing her too much but yesterday she had a seriuos conversation with me and reminded me that if I'm sad all the time that will affect my baby and there is nothing to worry about because mom and dad are coming in April and staying with us for a while. + I have no energy to go to the gym, that's so weird.... Melissa I have a question, I remember that you traveled to Peru when you were pregnant, how far were you in your pregnancy? because my family want to see me and they are inviting me to go in January, you think that will be ok?? I know that my doctor has the last word but what do you think? That's it for now, we are celebrating that Peru didn't loss against Argentina yesterday, we thought they were going to beat us.

Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	I'm glad everything is good with you guys. Sil was in shock for the first two days, my mom as you can imagine was in heaven 'cause this baby is going to be my parents first grandchild, she wanted to announce it on tv and newspapers that she is going to be a grandma. Then we announced it to my entire family during my b-day party (around 80 people) and everybody screamed as if Peru won the Worls cup (we all know that will never happen). Sil is very,very excited, right now he is reading a "The new age baby name book" 'cause we are not agreeing with a name. He wants to tell everybody here in the States but I prefer to wait until the 3rd month, I know, I know I sound crazy. I had just a few Pisco Sours 'cause then we found out that I was pregnant and nobody allowed me to have any alcohol , you don't remember the name of the place, let me see.. maybe "Huaringas" or "El Tayta"??? just guessing.. Well my friends gotta go, I have to call Peru... Hugs Vi	Vi Mazzella	Female	Peru	2008-09-10 20:40:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	She's going to Peru for almost 4 months, lucky her. Right now I couldn't do that because of my pregnancy and beacuse I have to work. Sil won't be so happy If I go there for a long period of time, once I went to Peru three days -yes, just 3 days- before Sil and you had to see the scene at the airport, it was very sad. Good luck to your wifey, I think I'm going in January (9th-24th). Hugs Vi	Vi Mazzella	Female	Peru	2008-09-09 19:58:00

Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	To be honest I had a few weird experiences here too. I use to have this super coold friend in my former job, we used to have really intereresting conversations about Peru and books (two of my passions) and he ended asking me to leave my husband and marry and then move to Peru with him. Tell me if that is not freaky????? He started kind of stalking me but I didn't want to tell Sil until it got to the point when I had to tell him, but he is very calm so he handle the situation. Some of my clients invite me for drinks or lunch and things like that (of course I NEVER accept), even when I'm wearing my engagement ring and WEDDING RING. There's no respect, and when I tell Sil he just laughs. Good night people Vi	Vi Mazzella	Female	Peru	2008-08-05 22:05:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	Susita We had an awesome time at Robert Moses, we usually go to Field 2. Don't worry about the RFE, we got one when I was applying for my Permanent GC, after two years of living here, they wanted more proof of our marriage, I got SO upset and Sil too. But after we sent the extra documentation everything went fine. Let me know when are you coming to the city maybe we can meet someday. Peter 'n Jamie Don't worry chica, I'm not upset or anything, I'm pretty pacific,hahaha. I'm VERY jealous and I'll be upset if I see girls trying to hit on Sil. As I told you before, we had some incidents in the past, once we went dancing and I had to leave to go to the bathroom and two girls were trying to start a conversation with him, when I saw that I just remember that I felt fire coming out from me and wanted to kicked their .... but just said" 'EN ESTE MISMO MOMENTO DESAPARECEN" or " YOU BETTER DISSAPEAR RIGHT NOW " Well amigos have a good night!

Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	MandyR Oh yes, I'm more than excited, it's funny I tell everybody how many days left before I go home, my home in Peru. We have already plenty of plans. LaN is definitely the best airline to go to Peru, prices for Christmas still the same so we are happy that we are going this August. Peter'n Jamie I think you are generalizing, not all teenagers and girls in the mid 20's are the same, there are cheap women everywhere, I can say the same thing about american women specially when I have to take the train to go to work (I live in NYC). Sorry it might sound that I'm taking it a little personal, maybe I am. I had similar experiences with my hubby, girls trying to hit on him when we go clubbing but I'll never hit them just give them a dirty look and say "LARGUENSE!" Susita Sil's favorite dish is Jalea!!!!! he loves it too, same thing with choritos a la chalaca, he doesn't know how to pronounce it, he sounds so cute. Sorry for not writing to you on the hi5, we have been a little busy, I'll try to write to you tomorrow, we are planning to go to the beach, we go to Robert Moses, hopefully we'll have a beautiful day.

During his first trip, before he met me,somebody stole his camera in a market, well that one was his fault, the guide told him and his friends not to go inside of the market but he wanted to experience it and see real peruanos, a bunch of people followed him and keep saying "Hello my friend" poor Silvio felt good and when he checks his pocket the camera was gone! he alwasy teases about that one. A few times he got fake Nuevos Soles or fake coins, things like that you know? That's why I always have to watch his back, I'm sure I 'll have more to tell after our next trip.

Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	QUOTE (SKTEAMO @ Jul 29 2008, 09:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Feliz 28 de Julio. Don't get me wrong, you can definitely spend a lot of money on a house here in Kansas. But I imagine you'd get a LOT more than what you would get in NY. There's just not the big city life here. At my job we do a lot of work with multi-million dollar custom home builders. The last house I went out to look at was $2.2 million. But I think it was around 8,000-10,000 square feet, in a very nice part of town on a wooded lot, and right on a very nice golf course. From what I hear, something like that in NY would probably cost a bit more. A friend and his wife just recently bought a house for about $350k...4 beds, 3.5 baths, full finished walkout basement, 3-car garage, with a nice view. The house we're living in now is quite a downgrade from the last house we lived in that we sold. We moved into a rental house that I was trying to sell for about 6 months...didn't even get one showing. It was either let it go into foreclosure or make the most of the situation. So now we're fixing it all up, waiting for the market to turn around, and enjoying the $435/month payment for now. Plus, it's in a pretty "Latin" area, so it's good for Erika. In about three or four years, the loan should be paid off, house fixed up, and we should be able to get about $70k-$80k for a down payment on a nice cozy home in the suburbs. My ideal situation though, would be to be frugal enough so that by about early- to mid-50's, we would be able to retire and live in Peru...maybe some place in Miraflores....and spend all of our time traveling around Peru and the rest of South America. I get excited just thinking about it! It's really interesting that you have everything planned, our plan is much easier and cheaper, we are getting my In Law's house!!! They live in a house and they rent the second floor. The family that lives there is planning to move soon and they offered us that place for free! My hubby was really excited in the beginning but he knows that I can't stand his dad so he had to say : THANK YOU BUT WE ARE NOT INTERESTED. I know alot of people are thinking that I'm nuts but living with my father in law would be a complete nightmare. We have a few friends that moved outside of NYC, they bought beautiful houses in Cortland Manor- Westchester, huge houses with huge land in a very quiet,safe and clean area and two of them payed about $350 000 not bad right? the only bad thing is that they work in the City and it takes them about 1hr 1/2 to get to Grand Central. I would love to move to Peru someday but first Sil has to learn to speak perfect spanish so my "paisanos" will stop taking advantage of him. As a teacher he can work in one of the many american schools we have in Lima, they offer awesome benefits for the american teachers. Another thing is that after three years of living here and after being homesick for a long period of time I start to like NYC, I feel so much safer than in Peru and there are so many things to do here. Gotta go Saludos Vi	Vi Mazzella	Female	Peru	2008-07-30 19:28:00

I'll have to enjoy the pictures that my friends send me through email. We are flying to Peru the same date, August 20th via LanChile and we are coming back on the 31st, just a few days but we are planing to enjoy as much as we can plus we are going to celebrate my b-day there, party time . Funny that you mention diamonds 'cause I work in the diamond industry nothing related to my career that is Tourism and Hospitality but I'm very happy with my job, can't complain, I see hundreds of diamonds everyday and I have to say that I'm not into diamonds - anymore. I promise that if someday we go to Florida we'll visit you and if you plan to come to NYC let us know we'll be more than happy to meet you guys.

Mexico, Latin & South America	Hi, I'm from Peru	MandyR Thank you very much MandyR, but honestly I doubt that my hubby will want for us to move to Miami, he says that he is a New Yorker and he is afraid of Hurricanes (me too), plus he's italian and we have all the family living near us . What about Rosy? is she attending the Big Party from our school in Lima? is going to be in August 9th with Joselito's Band, I' ve been to one with Sil and we had an AWESOME time. Susita, Isn't the Upper East Side consider the most expensive area in New York ???? Don't worry about your fiance, he is going to get used to the expensive prices here (comparing to Lima, of course), I remember when I first moved here I used to bring my calculator with me everywhere.
