Recliners by Jacque Messer
I know this is wierd but we're thinking we might have to ship a container to Cuenca just because since my beloved had bypass surgery he cannot sleep in a bed. He has been sleeping in his LaziBoy for 2 years. Whenever we go on vacation the poor ...
You can purchase recliners in Guayaquil. The Colonial is the distributor for Lazyboy here. They have a web site http://www.colineal.com/catalogo-de-productos-general-ecuador Read More
Inshore fishing available? by Txsbigfoot
I have not read any posts about the opportunity to fish the coastal areas of Ecuador. I have found many sites but they all are offshore and expensive. I live on the Southeast Texas coast and we fish the bays and bayous leading to the Gulf of Mexico. ...
This post reminds me so much of my Texan husband. When we moved here the bulk of our luggage was fishing gear. He loved surf fishing and that is what he came prepared to do. He didn't get to do much of it, but he was ready. They catch wahoo, ... Read More

Hello all. Thinking seriously about leaving Vancouver Island, Canada and bringing my business with me to live for several years and into retirement. I have never been to Ecuador, but another businessman in the mall here in Nanaimo has a Condo in ...
Whether or not you need to be in a large city depends on what you need to be able to conduct your business. You will find most things available in Salinas or you can make an occasional trip to Guayaquil. You do not have to give up your Canadian ... Read More

Totally Lost and Scared to Death by mcowser
Hi everyone, I am a single woman that wants to possibly move to Ecuador. I know I want to move somewhere in Latin America and Ecuador is looking great. I have been researching for a long time, but still don't know where to start. I mean I don't ...
We did the whole process without the help of migration experts or attorneys. It took us less than 90 days. We did it all in Guayaquil thought because it was closer to Ballenita where we were renting an apartment at the time. If you don't know ... Read More

I just use the base clinic here in Salinas, the care there is fine. As for pets, I can't help you with that. I don't have any so that subject is above my skill set. We did use the hospital in Guayaquil twice. Good luck. Read More

My brother in the states was worried about my safety in Ecuador.. I just told him, "Well I have lived in Houston for many years without getting killed, Ecuador is probably less dangerous." And so I was right. I returned to Houston to visit my ... Read More

I think it is best to sell almost everything there and re-purchase here. Best to bring your own sheets, towels, electronics and cameras. Those are the expensive/quality issue things here. You can find most things here and shipping is tremendously ... Read More
Probably an Odd Question by grantaa
I haven't seen this addressed anywhere, but does one need to be cautious about drinking the water, eating fresh produce, buying from street vendors, etc.?
yes, bottled water for sure, plus I use filtered water to clean my fruits and veggies. Safe food handling practice is basically the same anywhere in the world. Even in Houston I double washed all the fruits and veggies. I am braver than most, I have ... Read More
