Nicaragua: Puerto Cabezas info please?:

My wife and I will be arriving in Nicaragua mid-February (overland) and would like to know about 1) the road conditions from the Pacific side over to the Atlantic (we know they are "bad" but how bad is bad?) and 2) what is the rental situation in Puerto Cabezas? Are there furnished rentals for $400 or less per month? And if so, how could we go about finding them (we've tried Craigslist and Encuentra24 without luck.)

Nicaragua: Products availability:

Hi everyone, When my wife and I arrived in Mexico to live a few months, we discovered certain things weren't available that we were accustomed to (like sausage for breakfast or pizzas, LOL) We are moving to Nicaragua in late February. Some of our concerns for needing to know if things like Off!, mosquito coils, somewhat quality dog food, and K-cups exist in Nicaragua. We can live without the K-cups, but Off! is essential. What about beef? It's hard to find beef lunchmeat or hotdogs here in Mexico, Pava seems to be the standard. Are there lavanderias like here? or does everyone have washers/dryers? Does TV programming include any English channels? Is it difficult to buy TV's there, or should we bring our own (we have one, want a 2nd one for another room.) What about used bicycles? Our truck is a gas hog, we'd like to get around cheaper, and want to know if we should find a couple of bikes here in Mexico and somehow load them with everything else we're bringing, or can we find them there? We are corresponding with a homeowner in Masaya, and likely will end up there, at least for the first few months. We are hoping our old travel trailer will make the trip!
