Learn to speak Spanish ..its a great help!!!

Agree.... go with the flow and chill out. Expect everything to take at least twice as long to get something done.

folks you contract for a job say they will show up and never do.
Do not pay one red penny in advance to no one. You go buy the materials with them, but no money until they finish the job properly. Beware of workmanship at all times and beware  of others who come to do the job with the contractor. He might contract out the job thus keeping the bulk for himself. Who do you blame later??

Acknowledge that this is not the country you grew up in. Take time to get to know the people, their customs, their language. Eventually become part of the community; find out where and how you can help from those who are asking for assistance. Enjoy challenges as adventures-a learning experience. Be flexible. Do your research before committing.

good, helpful stuff
Thanks

Hello Darryl

Thanks for your input on this thread, however could you please avoid writing with your caps lock on ?

It is considered rude and makes reading difficult

I was trying to make it easier or those who cant see that good. Theres quite a few of us like that...Lucky you can se without caps.
Have a great day in Paradise.

Darryl - it's a simple matter on a PC or laptop to increase font size, or screen size, with the click of a button. I do this when the type is too small to read without straining. Using all caps is not the way to go to solve the problem.
