Esteli Trip

[CAJoe]

Well some of you may remember that I was going to go to Esteli last year to go to the My Father factory in Esteli and it had been moved. We are going for sure on the 20th to Esteli! We will spend a few days at Pepin's factory courtesy of Espinosa and Ortega (601, Cubao) and then we made arrangements to visit Drew Estate and we are trying to convince Joya de Nicaragua to let us visit them. This will be a great trip! Anyone else ever been to Pepin's new factory?

I have been there...

Lucky!

Since everything to do with Joya de Nicaragua is handled by Drew Estates I don't think it will be a problem.

I toured Drew Estates and Joya de Nicaragua, you will definately enjoy it!

You guys suck. Have a great time. I know you will.

Ballpark?? It depends on length but a basic 3 day journey can be done for under a grand, with airfare.

 

[CAJoe]

Well the airfare is around $700 from San Francisco. After that EO said they would take care of us while we were at Pepin's factory, same with Drew estate.

Podman and I will be in Estelli on the 21st. We will be at Drew Estates through the 24th. Hopefully we will bump into you at some point.

Wow, I paid about half that from the Chicago area...

That woul be cool. I am not sure when we will make our way over there. Hopefully we will see you guys there and share a smoke.

Thats crazy. that was the cheapest we could find looking online and through a travel agent. CA is friggin nuts anyway when it comes to the cost of stuff.
