Sending and receiving packages in Puerto Rico by Priscilla
Hello, As an 暗网禁区, there are inevitably certain items you might want or need from back home, and around the holiday period, many people like to send gift packages. How easy is it to send and receive packages in Puerto Rico? Is the public ...
Amazon is my biggest frustration. It鈥檒l frequently tell you a seller won鈥檛 鈥渟hip to your country.鈥� Ugh, my country is the US, jerks. But weirder - for example - they sometimes just WON鈥橳 sell stuff here. You cannot ... Read More
Furniture donation? Movers? by Figs81
Hi folks! We have a large sectional couch that鈥檚 in pretty great condition, just needs a cleaning. We can鈥檛 seem to find ANYONE to come get it, though! We鈥檝e been trying for two weeks with no luck - Habitat doesn鈥檛 want ...
Sorry, misspelled San Juan as San Jun. We can ditch it in the trash on Monday night (large pickup in Condado is on Tuesday morning). We鈥檇 rather donate. We thought about Clasificados, but we鈥檇 heard some horror stories from friends about ... Read More

Guitar Lessons in San Juan?
I "got" my husband guitar lessons for Navidad - but I'm having a heck of a time finding a place for him to take them! I've emailed/called the few places I could find advertised online, but no one has responded. I know it's ... Read More
Speaking Spanish in Puerto Rico by Priscilla
Hi everyone, It is widely agreed that speaking Spanish is essential for a successful integration in Puerto Rico. Do you agree? Share your experience! Do you speak Spanish? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a ...
I speak just a little (I can order food and make appointments). I took a 6 week class at work that didn't help much at all, because the teacher was awful. My husband and I have been looking for Spanish classes in San Juan metro, but they seem ... 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'm definitely seeing a difference in answers between those of us who are living here and the folks who aren't here full-time yet....haha. Read More

It's a split - we're totally happy and we were on a catamaran off the coast of Fajardo yesterday. But today, I spent over 3.5 hours just to see one doctor and get bloodwork done, which is intensely frustrating. Puerto Rico has an incredible ... Read More
Shipping car to PR? by TravelingJ
I have read that it is a nightmare to ship your car to PR, but my car is relatively new and I would take a huge hit on it if I were to sell and would have to buy a lesser car. My question is how much is the excise tax? When I went to the Haceinda ...
I argued with Hyundai Finance until the day before my car was scheduled for pick-up. Thank god they made an exception (I'd bought the car 7 months before and was totally underwater on the loan!!). But I wouldn't trust them to do it again, it ... Read More
Best ways to safely transport pets to and fro Puerto Rico by DeborahMarchant
Hello What are some of the best ways to safely transport pets to and fro PR? Any great suggestions? Most commercial and major airlines won't fly animals when the temperature is above 85 degrees.This is because while their cargo hold is ...
Not sure about your cat, but we brought our 10lb+ kitties both down on JetBlue under the seats without any trouble, each was about 13lbs? They were fine, although the the carrier didn't give them much room to move. Just get a direct flight, if ... Read More
Insects/bugs by TravelingJ
Ok, I know that it is the Caribbean and that there are bugs (duh). I know there are mosquitos.....but what other little critters are prevalent on the island? We spend a lot of time in Costa Rica.....just wondering if the bug situation is the same. ...
Along the lines of everyone else - it really depends WHERE on the island. We're in San Juan proper, on the 7th floor of a condo building. We get the mosquitos, and the ones here are all-day, equal opportunity feeders - so there's not really ... Read More

Hi all, Newbie on the Puerto Rico forum? Don聮t know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your 暗网禁区 story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more ...
Definitely have a plan in place! Hi all, time for introductions! I'm Katie, and my husband and I moved to San Juan about 1.5 years ago - I came down for work, and we assumed he'd be able to pick something up within 6-9 months, even if the ... Read More
Specialists - Hema/Rheum/Endo by Figs81
Hi all! New to the forum, but I've been lurking ever since we moved down here 1.5 years ago. I've been having some health problems, and my amazing primary care (if anyone needs one, she's WONDERFUL and has offices in Isla Verde and ...
Hey there! She's trying, there just aren't many specialists left, so trying to get an appointment within the next month has been hard. And every endocrinologist I've called is telling me October - gulp! :) Read More
Good doctors in San Juan area by MLSR
Hi. Im looking for a general practitioner in the San Juan or Bayamon area. English speaking would be a plus. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.
If you haven't already found someone, Dra. Maria Gonzalez-Vives (technically Maria del Mar Gonzalez-Vives) in Isla Verde (and parts of the week in Luquillo) is amazing. Perfect English, incredibly caring - she even let's me text her lab ... Read More
