Thanks so much. I think I might heave him home the first time.

Hi Suzan, We had a full schedule (real estate and export shopping) and never got to any of the Panama hat places, but did talk to several knowable people to learn the way to spot quality. I may try to use one of my contacts there to do some shopping for me later! We’re back in the US now.

We never had a problem in any of the stores or hotels in Ecuador with our Wells Fargo debit card. For safety we have a “travel” account with Wells Fargo that we only keep a small amount in and add to it using “on line banking” so we don’t have too much in it just in case of a fraud attempt.

We bought a cheap cell phone for $45. It worked well and carried a MagicJack Plus for calls back to the US and to other MJ people in Ecuador. Make sure you have both cell companies activated on the cell phone!

We recently flew in and out of Quito, Manta, Cuenca and Guayaquil and all were on time! We used Tame mostly.

Thank you…again!

Hotel Ideas – We were going to stay at the Inn Land of the Sun in Cotacachi, but I can’t seem to fine a way to communicate with them.  Is this a good place to stay while in the area or is there a better alternative?  We need a dedicated internet line in the room and would like to be “in town.”  Any ideas on how to get in touch with the Inn and would appreciate additional hotel ideas.  Dave

We are headed to Manta – Bahia area when we leave Cotacachi and need advice on a real estate tour person and or agents when we see something we like.  Or should we pick a place in the middle and look for real estate agents in each of the towns that interest us?

Irving & Suzan, thanks for the real estate name and advice!  We do understand that we’re not going to replace our home in Arizona and we’ll treat this as an adventure.  San-Miguel is one I’d like to see.
What do you know about “Inn Land of the Sun” in Cotacachi?  Is that a good place to stay?
 
Happy Easter!

Thanks so much.  We will follow up on your leads.  By-the-way we met you at the 2012 Las Vegas comfrence.

The coastal area of preference is Manta north to Bahia.  We’re looking for a real estate person who will show us their listings and other agent’s listings too.
