Jackie: I remember my first trip - how I did all this extensive research and tried to do all this advance scheduling and planning. Once I got to SP, I soon understood why this philosphy didn't work very well. And I think you'll get what I mean after your first visit. Now, when I dream of my return trips, I just make a list of what might interest me and schedule as much as I can once I get there. There's been more than one restaurant that that I wanted to try, only to find it gone when I got there. And while this is my only international internet experience, my cousins who live there and not received many of my emails tell me the technology isn't quite like in the US. If it were me, I'd follow Barbara K's advise and email again...if still no response then move on to someone else...I've yet not to find something just as good or, often, even better!
