Where is a good place to order contact lenses at a reasonable rate?

I second everything you just said. Government offers nothing but expenses and aggravation. It's all about control and getting money they have not earned.

That has been our experience as well. They do not ask for your Tourist or other documents when you turn in the TIP. We flew out and left our car once while we were on Tourist visa. Later we drove our car out and got our deposit back.

It's a matter of value for what you pay. Everyone's perception is different. Also, it is indoors, which is a not an option as the chlorine inhalation has caused lung infections.

Are you referring to the Monte Carlo? We stopped by there and it is not heated.

This is exactly what we are looking for. Haven't found anything yet.

You are spot on. We also had the benefit of Silver Sneakers for one of us the previous year as it was a benefit of that particular insurance, which meant we had one membership at zero additional cost.

Regarding the place in Riberas: When we were there, we were given a price sheet which I no longer have. This was within the last thirty days. There was a yearly membership fee as well as the monthly fee. All you got was the pool class. It came to around $65 a month, I believe. It as really quite a shock. We paid around $25.00 a month/per person at 24-Hour Fitness for full privileges at almost all their locations, which did include all the classes, all equipment, no hour limits, and heated pool with no extra fees.

I think that is expensive, more than we paid in Texas for a full gym membership including classes and indoor pool.

Other than their bureaucratic regulations, what purpose does it actually serve for them to be notified of a change of address?

This us what was done at those prices: Biometria Hermatica which includes a very long list of results. Also, Quimica 6 which included Urea, Triglicerines, Uric Acid, 2 types Cholesterol & Createnin, Indice Aterogenico. I may not have spelled everything correctly.

I don't know what a DIF discount is, so it must all be retail.

The same tests were done at each lab. Care Diagnostics $882 Chopo $443.38 Dilabim $311 Wish I had known or price shopped. Hopefully, this will help someone else.
