Questions--Moving there in 1 week

8 years ago

We are coming to Buenos Aires from the US in a week via Panama--we read that you need proof of onward travel--is this something you have to show at the airport before they let you into the country, or can we buy a ferry ticket to Uruguay when we are already there?

We have already sold our home & gotten rid of almost everything. Between our clothes, personal possessions & cooking tools (I'm a chef), we have 2 rollalongs, 2 suitcases & 4 duffle bags--would it be crazy to come with that many bags--the cost would be $320 baggage fees from Hawaii to Panama, and again $320 from Panama to Argentina--we couldn't find any other way to get them there and I don't know how difficult it would be to replace everything.
Do they have a Mail Boxes etc. there where we could receive packages? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
