Greetings all. This may be a strange concern in light of possible volcanic eruptions, reports of minor civil unrest and possible devastation due to El Nino. Are there any hobby shops in the Guayaquil area that cater to builders of model trains and ...

Hi, Sorry for the delay in saying thanks for your last reply. I intended to spend the month of November in Ecuador as a volunteer at an animal rescue operation at a farm about 45 minutes west of Guayaquil. Unfortunately I had a hernia develop while ... Read More

Thanks for the reply. LAN and Delta both say on their websites that they will not fly birds, especially internationally for Delta. You have probably done better, more detailed homework on this than I have as you are much closer to the move. I ... Read More

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I messed up with the profile and it is pretty jumbled. Ellijay is still a somewhat rural, mountain community. Beautiful countryside with nice people and relatively clean air. I moved here years ago to be closer to the ... Read More

Thanks for the reply Bob. I once worked in a restaurant where almost all the male employees were named Bob, Robert or Rob. Best group of people I have ever known even if they all did answer to that name at the same time. Bob Read More
