I'm pretty late to this discussion.We flew Avianca from Santiago. Chile to Quito, via Bogota. We booked economy, since it was $1000 for two on just that one way journey. How bad could it be?Well it was horrible. Absolutely my worst flight in 55 ... Read More

Bringing my cell phone number to Cuenca by scottmacinak
My wife and I have ATT smartphones in the US. We are going to live in Cuenca for a year. We want to keep our numbers and our phones. ATT said it was easy to port a US cell number over to an Ecuadorian cell provider. I am skeptical. Is this true? ...

Yeah, it's all interesting and apparently a fluid situation. First thing is to actually get there with the wife and see how the experience goes and whether we will want to spend the required time to gain residency, regardless of method. I ... Read More

@cccmedia Thank you! That's all very helpful.Never heard of arroba before, so that's something you don't learn in conversational Spanish class. Seems like the Professional Visa requires a trip back to the US for fingerprints and apostille. Good to ... Read More

I'm at a slight disadvantage on all visas, it seems. Not working online, so no proof of employer (and no intention to go back to that). Not receiving Social Security or a pension, so no retirement visa. Haven't gone through the ... Read More

It's been about three years for me. Started seeing my wife's HRT doctor, as she took men as patients. Blood work confirmed low T. About 1/6 of "normal." I grew up in Rust Belt Northeast USA, and exposure to toxicity and heavy metals can be one ... Read More

@N.Barley Thanks very much for looking those up. Those prices seem a lit better. Still, it comes out to roughly double what I am paying in the US. But, if I run out and there's a need, it is good to know of the availability.I just had a meeting ... Read More

Eeek, just looking at the Medellin link. It would be $178 USD per week! I currently pay ~$4.60 USD a week in a six month supply. I guess I will be muling and portaging my own from the US. Though, the Chilean prices are better, if i needed to get ... Read More
