Hi lists,
I'll arrive Ezeiza Airport at 09:20, Mon., Aug 24 by CO051 from Houston. Would anybody like to share Remises to the Bauen Hotel? Since I will leave Japan 15:55 JST (06:55 UTC), Sunday, 23rd, I hope to hear somebody join me before I'm on board, but I'll keep effort to be online at Houston.
Best,

Looks like we'll be on the same flight from Houston. :-) We have seats 31A&B. We're coming from Vancouver and connecting in Houston. Sharing transportation sounds like a good idea.

In this case, get a taxi only on the stands that are placed right after Customs. Do not accept taxi services offerred by individuals.

How many people, with their luggage, will normally fit in one of these taxis?
Ray
Taxis are regular sedan cars, you can carry as much luggage as it fits in the rear trunk.
If you are three or more with much luggagge its probably better to get a minivan

Ask at Manuel Tienda León counter in the Airport.

Thanks Carlos! I printed out your email just in case. It would help a lot of participants. Great, great job!
Ray and Jim: I will bring something with Wikimania-logo to be notified easier. You can find me around boarding gate, or in a lounge.
See you in Houston! (and in Buenos Aires)

I will be on that Houston-Buenos Aires flight as well, in seat 32A, after connecting from St. Louis, and I'm also up for sharing transportation. (Thanks, Carlos, for your advice!)
Deat Takashi,
My piece of advise is:
- If you are going to take a taxi or remis, get it in the official stands that are just after passing customs. In the same area of customs you will find a Banco de la Nación Argentina to exchange money. Do not exchange money in other stands, the best rate will be the one of Banco Nación (national bank). - If you want to get to the hotel in a more inexpensive way go to the stand of Manuel Tienda León bus to "Terminal Madero" http://www.tiendaleon.com.ar/home/home.asp It costs ARS 40, you can pay with credit card. Once in "Terminal Madero" take a taxi to the hotel. Every taxi driver should know where this hotel is and the price of the journey should be not less than ARS 13 and not more than ARS 20.
If in trouble show this text to the taxi Driver:
"Lléveme al Hotel Bauen, en Callao entre Sarmiento y Corrientes. He sido informado del recorrido y el precio que debo pagar por el viaje."
(Take me to the Bauen hotel, in Callao Street between Sarmiento and Corrientes. I have been informed about the price of the journey)
Carlos.

Carlos, You rock. Especially, the last sentence should come in handy to a lot of folks coming in from other countries.
