Pets and Quarantine by Nathalie0805
hi everyone, We have decided to move to Mauritius for the beginning of the school year September 2011 so we still have time but I like to be organised so my question is as follows. 3 months seems to be an awfully long time to leave my dog and my cat ...
If you love your cat so much then surely you understand how we feel about having to leave our pets behind too. Hope they sort out the problem soon and that you find a loving home for your cat. Donna Read More

Learning Mauritian Creole by donna4rich
Hi, Can anyone suggest a book or CD which can help me to learn creole? I'm in the UK and have trawled the net to no avail! I have a friend who is coming to Mauritius next month and could pick something up for me if there is anything available over ...
Hansa, Thanks for your post, LOL! If mauritians have trouble reading or writing creole then I don't stand much of chance at all do I! I'll stick to learning French for now and see how it goes when I get ovr there. Donna Read More

Thanks Tristram, Have decided to brush up on my french and take it from there. Think I'll only confuse myself if I start trying to learn creole as well! Donna Read More

Thanks Melissa, Luckily for me I won't need to bring my dog over until well into next year but it must be heartbreaking for those trying to bring them over now. Will keep on the case! Donna Read More

Ladies of a Certain Age! by donna4rich
Hi! I've seen lots of posts from young mums looking for friends but is there no one of my 'certain age' (50 shhhhhh!) looking for friends? I love mixing with younger people but would dearly love to have some friends of my age too! We have just as ...
Hi Melissa, I don't really care about age at all, it just struck me that all the posts seemed to be from younger women! As I said before my friends are all different ages and it works really well. Thanks for your reply Donna x Read More

I quite agree! Age is irrelivant, I have friends of all ages and often a mixed group has more fun that a group of people the same age. I've sent you a pm by the way. Good luck with your move! Donna Read More

Hi there, Could you answer a couple of questions for me? I understand that we have to have private health insurance when we come to Mauritius and that this would cover us for hospital stays etc. But what about general health problems that we in ... Read More

Where walk a dog? by Dogtravel
Hi everybody, I am here since a month now and my doggy has been released from quarantine:D. I have been very surprised when I try to find a good place to walk him. All of the mountain and the national park do not allow pets. :( Moreover there is ...
Hi This is one thing that is really worrying me about our move. How have you all found your dogs cope with the separation and the strange surroundings, not to mention the flight over? 20 minutes seems a really short time. I've read on other posts ... Read More
