How did the "Founders" make out with their investments at Las Olas to date? Hopefully everyone will be made whole at the end of the day. The course at Jama sounds dreamy, so fingers crossed for a playable course soon on the coast of ... Read More

Even second tier investment only gives one person privileges, for a lot of $, and a quarter million is a ton of doe for two people to be granted "immunity". Supposing the initial developer folds, and some one picks it up where it hit the ground, a ... Read More

Hi there. Moving to Ecuador hopefully soon and am thinking about driving to Costa Rica and then shipping our vehicle to Ecuador. Does any one know the import tax on this? Also, is there any golf? Thanks, Chris

Chris Ehlert
