I'm not even sure I want to do this, am I becoming jaded?

I was at a concert with some friends and one of them innocently said 'YVR Deals just sent an email about seats sales to Colombia'.  You'd think my friends would know me better than to say such a thing. 

Anyway, that percolated in my noggin overnight (no I did not buy a ticket while at a concert, I do have some self-control).  You all know you can just ignore that bracket about self-control right?  Cause I bought a ticket on my lunch break the next day, with zero research, no booked vacation and no idea what one does in Colombia except cocaine and kidnapping, neither of which particularly appeals to me. 

I am flying to Bogotá round trip January 17 to Feb 1 (I should check that date to make sure).  I then read Bogotá is not great for two weeks, more like two days.  So, now I am deciding between Medellin or Cartagena or both.  Internal flights are cheap.   There are three airlines to choose from, with varying prices.  Wingo is the cheapest.  Wingo sounds like a real airline, doesn't it?  It has wings and it goes. In theory.  TBD (again, not really, you all know I am going to go with the cheap option).  

More later.  

Medellin (day six) and getting home... (which I eventually did)

 My flight out of Medellin was for late in the day, after 6pm, so I booked a taxi for 3 and headed out to see something new on my last day. ...
