Glad you'...Welcome to our Blog, Jimmie and Will!<br />Glad you're loving reading our story and we hope you will continue on our journey as we continue to post about our adventure. If you read the beginning of my blog postings, you will read the story of how we ended up coming to Cuenca, a place we'd never visited before (it's that adventurous spirit in both of us!). We still have our home in Oregon which is rented to a wonderful couple, and we did get rid of half our belongings but have the rest in storage on our land. For now, we are planning on staying in Cuenca, but one never knows what tomorrow may bring. My precious 87 year old mom is still back in Oregon, but she has wonderful care and because of her advanced dementia we could not bring her with us. So, read the first few posts to have many of your questions answered. We are firm believers in doing our adventures today while we can. Sometimes dreams remain dreams for some who never take the plunge. If you can, go for it! if it doesn't work out, you can always leave. We're glad we came and are still here. Hope you continue to enjoy reading our blog, and do leave us your comments. Stay in touch.<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-52557560643482719042013-03-26T15:21:53.136-07:002013-03-26T15:21:53.136-07:00Hi, I'm Jimmie (girl Jimmie..on the birth cert...Hi, I'm Jimmie (girl Jimmie..on the birth certificate..Mom did it!)My husband, Will, and I have been reading your blog for a couple of months now and I'm loving it! This was my favorite blog so far although all your writings are wonderful. I don't believe you have ever mentioned that you just moved to a country you'd never been too before. Amazing! We've been considering it but that's just about as far as we've gotten and your blog is so helpful. I'd love to hear about the thought process you had in making the decision, who and what is left behind in the USA, and do you ever intend on moving back....or just going forward. My best to both of you. Jimmie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-79213994501660962312013-03-13T16:32:08.374-07:002013-03-13T16:32:08.374-07:00Hi George,

I think we'll check out that smaller system you mention - sounds perfect for us since we didn't bring any of our CD's, only our iPod and iTune library. I'm actually looking forward to going back to the states just to retrieve some things via suitcases (we won't be shipping stuff back here) and to recover a few of those items we do miss. Again, forget the liquid weighty stuff and anything you know you can get here. Everything one needs truly is here (as you probably saw from your last visit). Looking forward to seeing you again when you return. I'm sorry I didn't get to visit with you - but I'm sure you saw me in the height of overwhelm that dreary day at that "unhappy place" trying to get visa approval. Victory finally did come!!!<br />Bo and I look forward to a visit with you and Chad. Maybe I'll cook you two my best Puerto Rican meal and we can trip over our tongues and talk Spanish (my family heritage).<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-57195440671984157382013-03-11T21:57:00.779-07:002013-03-11T21:57:00.779-07:00Our Bose stuff is the only electronics we are brin...Our Bose stuff is the only electronics we are bringing other than our computers and phones. We have a smaller Bose system (one piece) that you set your iPhone or iPod into and it fills up the room with music... We like that one. And we bought what was once called a 3-2-1 Bose Entertainment system... It has a woofer and just two little speakers and it hooks up to the TV. We love watching movies... Thanks for the heads up on the other stuff to bring and not to bring... See you guys in a few months...

Glad you found reading our packing exper...Hi Donna,<br />Glad you found reading our packing experience helpful!<br />For sure you will lose weight here. Bo and I both love that part of living in Cuenca. I imagine those who continue to live to eat and not eat to live nor exercise will remain the same or gain here. For us, the food is delicious but most of our eating is done at home. We like to cook and eat healthy. We walk daily and a lot! So, bring those skinny pants. The only thing I'm comfortable in now is my jogging tights and my overalls (they don't fall off me). When you come visit you will have an even better idea of what to bring and leave behind should you return to live. We came with no clue except what we read. By the way, Bo has an amazing HTC cell phone and the phone guy at the place we frequent to buy our minutes said he can get Bo's phone to work here. We'll know more about that at a later date. <br />Happy Packing! Soon you'll be here!<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-82253763197396561322013-03-10T18:32:43.195-07:002013-03-10T18:32:43.195-07:00Wow, Mara,
You're my "Packing" hero!...Wow, Mara,<br />You're my "Packing" hero! Glad you found my list helpful - but it sounds to me like you know how to travel. I always have to get Bo to go through everything and help me purge from the suitcases again. He, like you, can travel with just a carry on. You will surely lose weight here from all the walking and healthy eating. I'm so thankful for your continued prayers too. One day we will meet!<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-59837723216995406822013-03-09T11:57:19.090-08:002013-03-09T11:57:19.090-08:00Thanks so much, Linda.

Hubby will have to buy new when we visit the states (or get something made).<br /><br />The toiletries & kitchen items - thanks so much! That helps already, even though we plan to visit in April-May.<br /><br />I think I may pick up another pair of walking shoes before we come. I've recently started using the custom Dr. Scholl's inserts and love them but when I add thicker Smart Wool socks, my current shoes get a bit tight. LOL!<br /><br />We will be up there on the electronics side with three laptops, two tablets, two Kindles and two iPods. Not sure about the phones other than hubby's iPhone which should be usable. My HTC Incredible won't work as far as I know so I'll probably get a cheapie phone just for local calls.<br /><br />So much great info in this post...thanks for taking the time to document it all!Donna B.

For quite a while now we have been "carry on" travelers (even for 3 week trips to Ecuador) so we are very prepared to come with next to nothing when we move to Cuenca. I really appreciate your lists. We're not photographers so that part is easy! I only wear a couple of pairs of comfortable shoes and I'm a scarf person rather than jewelry. We will bring the electronics for sure. We are pretty short people so if we lose weight, we can probably find stop gap clothing in Ecuador. Thanks again for such thoughtful posts. I look forward to your next post. Still praying for you!
