We have been trying to get FEMA to go to our house to access the damage since we left at the beginning of October to no success. Well anyway, we finally spoke to a reasonable person from FEMA the other day and we received a text this morning and my ... Read More

Thank you Siobhan for your blog about the devastation that Puerto Rico has suffered and is currently suffering. We were three of the lucky ones to leave(me, my hubby and brother in law). We lived in Isabela, where I believe the water has been fully ... Read More

So happy for you. I know in our old neighborhood, they have had water on and off. But our immediate neighbors(we lived in a family compound of 4 houses ) and they still have no power. We couldn't stay in our house with the roof of the entire ... Read More

Mac, we are happy that you have power. We were down the road from Isabela Bakery and my former neighbors still have no power, so I am very happy that we were able to leave. They are are off a little street called Torcaz and everyone around has power ... Read More

David, Thank God that you are ok. I know of the harrowing experience driving down Rte 2 from Isabela to Aguadilla. We went two days after the Hurricane to Ramey to see if we could get some communication out at the airport to no avail. In fact, we ... Read More

Short update - I don't have time to read. Right now at a client who has internet and I have a ton of emails to take care of. Trying to get the business running again... We made it through the storm OK. Minimal damage to the house, we lost two ...
Sitka, these are some of the reasons we left, no power and then no water for 4 straight days. We had water on during the day and off at night which was fine but then nothing. When we left we were down to 3 bottles of water that I had refilled. The ... Read More

Since the hurricane on Sept 20, we were in our house in Isabela to Oct8 and not one FEMA person had come around. I know the son in law of the owner of our house and 3 other houses there had to go to the police precinct and then somewhere else to ... Read More

We're ok also. We were in Isabela and had a lot of damage to the trees here and the roof. Thus lots of leaks. We decided to leave PR since we didn't have any where else to go, no power since the hurricane and no water for many days after, ... Read More
Toll tag reader in car not read properly, received 8 fine letters. by Irvings
I bought the toll tag square piece for my car, and thought it was deducting as I went through tolls. Apparently it wasn't always working, as I found out recently when they sent me 8 letters in the mail for running the toll without paying. ...
Trying to get through to Autoexpresso is a joke. First I tried in English and I was on there for about 10 mins with no answer. Then I tried the Spanish option with the same result. So I hung up. Maybe if I am out in the Guaynabo area, I will stop by. Read More

The entire island has a lot to offer. There are pluses and minuses but it is still a matter of taste and convenience. With that said, which area or town do you find to be the best place in PR to live, considering the following factors: * ...
At first we were in Quebradillas for 2 years and it was great. A small town where you see the same people in church, drugstore, grocery store, etc and it was wonderful. People would give you "pon" a ride into town and not even know you. It ... Read More
