Getting ready by ReyP
We talked to the realtor here in MA, he said there is a shortage of homes to buy and he thinks my house is in move in condition and that should sell fairly fast. Need to open the pool, touch up a few spots with paint and a little yard work and it ...
Hi Marion, In many ways is like I never left, locals want to talk my ear off and always inviting me for coffee as it was when I was growing up. The place where I am renting is a little community of about 8 homes on the street, about 1/2 are related ... Read More

Taking almonds, peanuts, walnuts from PR to the states - allowed? by princos
I bought these at Walmart. They are not in the shell, so no husk for bugs to hide inside. Is it allowed to take them from PR to the states? I didn't see these on the list of being allowed, nor disallowed.
Don't ask people, ask google! Read More

Hey everyone, it's been a long time! I spent about 22K moving my family of 5 to the island in December 2016. We had an awful experience overall and one morning, something just told me to leave the island and I did.... then the hurricanes hit. ...

This is all very discouraging to read. It appears there are more setbacks than progress. We will most likely still go forward with purchasing a home in the Aguadilla/Isabela área but are going to stick to our plans with living there part time. ... Read More
