Car Accidents: Friendly Reminder by Justpeachyy
I haven't read any posts regarding car accidents so here's a little info. One- You can call the police and get them on the scene to document everything. Two- Both parties can go to the police station to file a report. Obviously if it was ...
We have both our stateside mortgage and our auto loan through them because Vic was a Marine. But when we tried to get auto insurance last year, they told us it wasn't available. Doesn't surprise me that they were the best insurance company, ... Read More

USAA told us they wouldn't do auto insurance in Puerto Rico anymore. Any information you have about how long you've had the policies, etc. would be very welcome! Thank you! Read More
Not a great welcome! by bkettren
My family is in the process of moving to Maunabo, PR. My wife and her 85 year old mother have moved to Maunabo, while I am waiting for the sale of our ranch to close in Texas. Middle of August it should be done and I will be moving there then. We ...
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. And what a difficult thing for your wife to deal with while you guys are already facing the stress of transition. We moved to the island in January 2016 and have never encountered anything like this. ... Read More
Zika threat by Floridagirl82
Hello All, My husband accepted a job in Puerto Rico and I was planning to join him. We came down to visit for the first time a few weeks ago and at that time realized Zika was still a threat there! I hadn't thought of that during our planning ...
It's my understanding that the Puerto Rican Health Department has declared the Zika threat basically over, but the CDC still perceives elevated risk. I would look at the CDC's recommendations and maybe consult with your personal physician. ... Read More
Playdates anyone with children? by deotoole
Hola tod@s, My name is Dan O'Toole, and me, my wife, and my 2-year old have recently moved to Rio Grande. We are looking for some folks with young children who might be interested in play dates. We are willing to travel anywhere between San Juan ...
Greetings, fellow 暗网禁区s! My 3 (she would insist I add "and 1/2") year old daughter and I now divide our time between Georgia and Puerto Rico. We landed on the island two days ago and would love to get together with others with small ... Read More

Tax Accountant by Kathryn3000
Good morning! I posted last week seeking recommendations for an accountant skilled in US/PR returns, preferably with experience working with federal employees. I also mentioned a preference for the accountant being English-speaking, though ...

Cost of Living by Siobhan_Nolan
So we have been in PR now for about 20 months and I can't understand how low income earners survive here on the island with the high cost of living. Ok, Dorado is pretty expensive so lets take rent out of the equation. Our water bill is ...
This is what's weird. We have a $75 per month "fee" that was explained to us as due to the debt crisis. My own Spanish is likely limited enough to explain a misunderstanding, but my partner is fluent. Of course, we suspected that not ... Read More

We were out of town for 3 1/2 weeks one month and had a water bill of $200 for that month and $300+ for electricity. Nothing was running and we checked for any water leaks. Nobody knew anything about fixing it. I would agree with Siobhan that ... Read More
Are you happy in Puerto Rico? by Priscilla
Hello everyone! According to the 2016 UN World Happiness Survey, Denmark, Switzerland and Iceland are the happiest countries on earth. How about you? Are you happy in Puerto Rico? Do you feel happier today in your host country than before in ...
I found the lack of functionality difficult as well. My partner and I moved down in January with our toddler daughter, excited about the island and the chance to spend more time with his extended family. But as more and more services were cut or ... Read More
Sea turtles by hturner12
Is Culebra the only place for sea turtles?
Suzanne 12345, where are the nests in your area? Our 3 year-old daughter was eagerly helping us watch 2 nests here in Isla Verde, only to have the turtles hatch while we were in California!! Read More
Children's activities in Isla Verde by Kathryn3000
We just relocated to Isla Verde from Georgia with our toddler daughter. She's loving the beach, but I'm used to having her participate in structured activities as well (storytime at the library, swimming lessons at the Y, etc.). She and I ...
This is absolutely wonderful, thank you so much!! We're already excitedly looking through these sites to plan our weekend!!! Read More
