How to Ship 8 Cats to PR by SirenWilliams
Aside of making multiple flights with each cat in a single carrier, does anyone know of an airline or service that allows shipment of a larger number of cats at once? I'm thinking 3 large checked carriers so they have some room. But is that even ...
Also check with American Airlines. I had a pleasant experience with them bringing my cats down. Read More
A Different Perspective of Living In PR by chrishamrick103
Hey everyone, it's been a long time! I spent about 22K moving my family of 5 to the island in December 2016. We had an awful experience overall and one morning, something just told me to leave the island and I did.... then the hurricanes hit. ...
Hi Chris - I remember asking you a while back for an update to your situation, but due to Maria and everything else going on I have not been back on this site until today. I am so sorry your experience turned out as awful as it did. Your posts ... Read More

I’ve always been able to stream tv from my provider in CT (Comcast) usung their app to sling box . Just the other day it all stopped and I’m being told I cannot stream outside of mainland. This seems to be true with HUlu; direct tv now, ...
Oh ok thanks. I'm just using what was provided by liberty cable. Read More

Tracking Irma by Sitka
This new storm track is making me concerned. PR may be in the path - currently a cat 2, but predicted to grow. Best keep a close eye on this one for the next week or so. :o http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/145426.shtml?cone
We're in Fajardo within 2 min walking distance from an evacuation zone on the marina but in a concrete condo that should be ok. Here's hoping anyway! Just returned from the madness of trying to find water (there is none) and a few other ... Read More
Assisted Living or Board Care by KevAkers
My wife and I are considering moving to Puerto Rico. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis and requires a care facility with 24 hour care. Not necessarily a nursing home but she needs help with dressing, transferring to electric chair, etc. She currently ...
There is one down the road from me in Fajardo that I pass often so they do exist. Read More
Trash and Seaweed Luqullio Beach by Psych2
Can someone provide an update regarding the trash and seaweed on the beaches, in PR, inclouding in Luqullio Beach? Also if possible, how does retiring in Puerto Rico compare to retiring in Florida? I am strongly considering Luqullio Beach, (living ...

Liberty Cable by TKEDUBS
Does anyone know if FOX news is carried on Liberty Cable. I've been on hold with Liberty trying to get an answer for the past 19 minutes.
I have the 60/6 plan for $60/mo. Just added basic cable for $20 more for cnn, msnbc and the regular networks (nbc, abc, cbs, etc). we already have roku and amazon stick but thought we should have access to some sort of local news so added on the ... Read More

Liberty works well for us here in Fajardo. Every time we've had a problem with slow or no internet, customer service has handled it immediately and has sent a tech out within a day, which is far better service than I ever had with Comcast or ... Read More
Anyone want to start a Facebook group? by Karenqc
So...we have a handful of Rincon FB pages (the main one with 10k+!!) but nothing island wide. I'm noticing more and more of you gringos moving over here and thought maybe we should produce something. I can help maintain it, but I don't want ...
I can only speak for myself and folks I know, but most people have private Facebook profiles that are closed to the public and away from Google searches. To me, a public group would mean that all group conversations are not only blasted out to the ... Read More
Midnight Changes by ReyP
At midnight trafic tickets will double and some may go even higher. Also services to drivers will go up, I assume these are driver licenses, ID cards, and related items by the DMV.. The cost of living of Hawaii may be coming PR way.
OMG! That video is exactly why I can never imagine myself on foot, on a bike, scooter or anything else on the road here. Tragic. I notice many, many people here texting and on the phone while driving and even parking, looking down at their phone ... Read More

It would be nice to be able to freely discuss some things in the facebook group that aren't allowed here. Also, in a more "private" closed facebook group setting vs. this group which is easily googled. There are many things I do not ... Read More

I'd much rather this than cutting essential services and education. Read More

Explains everything! It's the strangest thing too. The people in every day interaction are so very friendly and kind yet get behind the wheel and it's like Death Race 2000. ☠️😱 Read More

Well.... that's one way for sure. The drivers here are downright scary! This coming from one who has zero problems navigating NYC and LA traffic. I have never had so many people cut me off making left turns from righ lanes in my life. It ... Read More
