My 2 year old swallowed a fish bone and I got scared when I saw that other post about dying from a fish bone. I will try the fizzy stuff thing... Okay that makes sense.

With the pricing, it does seem to depend on who you get on the day, and how well you can make yourself understood - if you can speak fluent Spanish you'll probably find it a lot easier!) I paid cash up front so I knew exactly what I needed to pay and didn't have to give bank accounts and worry about direct debit; if I wanted to join for a year they might have wanted more information. Though as I mentioned in the post, they seemed pretty casual with the paperwork compared to other countries. You seem to be in luck as far as pilates classes are concerned - check out <a href="http://www.americansport.com.ar/clases/clases.html" rel="nofollow">their website</a>. I hope that this helps - if you want any more information about Buenos Aires let me know. Hi Angela,

I don't know if Always Club carried out any checks when you tried to join, but normally a doctor's note is only required if you have any risk factors, like high blood pressure. If you are healthy, then I can't see why it should matter, though they may be trying to cover their own backs. In this case you may have to look at getting a note from a local doctor. How good is your Spanish?! Hi Brittney,

Today I decided on Always Club but was told I need a note from a doctor. Where did you get your doctor note? Any advice on getting a doctor's note would be much appreciated!

You've obviously made quite an impression!!

I would have loved to hike at that altitude. Our next trip to Argentina we are definitely going to do that. Both of Your blogs are great - very interesting reading. One month ago yesterday we were arriving in Chalten and we still have a glow on from our travels. Keep on enjoying yourselves and we'll keep on reading about your adventures. Gerry & Marie Hi Matt,

CSE, A.K.A. the Edinburgh University Gym). They have the best facilities of any gym in Edinburgh. No soap or towels, but they have a good lifting room with Olympic weights and lifting platforms. No rings, unfortunately, and the gym is spread out over a number of rooms so some Crossfit workouts will require a bit of thought. However, compared to the likes of Holmes place or Fitness First it's much better for decent workouts and cheaper too. Hi Hans,
