Ecuador: do you need a local attorney to get a residence visa?:

I do believe Dana is very busy. I can personally attest that she is a sincere and very helpful person.

Ecuador: We need a room in Manta:

There are tons of options here in Manta... You could try to room with someone, or you could get a hostel; there are tons of them here. Finding a place would not be a problem if you just decide to ¨show up.¨ Regards,

Ecuador: measurement of 2 1/2 size matress:

AKA Queen Size...

Ecuador: refinery outside of Manta...:

There is one that I know of here and it´s called the Refineria Del Pacifico. You can try this website for more info www.rdp.ec/ There is a fellow American working in power production here in Manta and Quito. He might be a good contact for you depending on your background. You might also consider teaching English if you are so inclined. Send me your email via PM if you would like more info. Regards, John

Ecuador: Senior friendly airline:

I have seen lots of older people flying LAN. I don´t think you would have any trouble with them. Are they more senior friendly than others? Not sure.

Ecuador: ATV rentals in Ecuador and trails?:

I second that Keylime... The ATV´s for rent are way underpowered. In all fairness, for what they are, they are loud! The good news is you can find Honda and Yamaha dealers in GYE... I´m not sure if they stock them, but I´m sure you can order a ¨more proper¨ ATV if you have the cash.

Ecuador: Will I make it:

I am an English teacher living on a budget in the City of Manta. If you are looking for something short-term, safe and reasonable, please send me a PM. I might be able to help!

Ecuador: visa:

No. Ecuador gives passport holders from just about every nation (or every nation) a 90 day visa upon entering.

Ecuador: coast:

Elite: If this is your first trip to Manta I highly recommend using "Rena Del Camino" from the bus terminal in GYE. They provide non-stop service to their own small bus station in Manta. The cost is $5.00 per person plus 0.25 cents for the "terminal tax." I travel from Manta to GYE almost every weekend and always use their service. Another option would be Manta Express.... I've never used this service, but have heard (outside of the vans being a bit crowed), they provide great service. Sorry but I don't have any more details about Manta Express... If you need them let me know and I'll find them for you.

Ecuador: An Ecuadorian called me fat, in a polite way - LOL:

Have you tried queso de Chone or queso de Manabi? Both are the same, but may be called by either name.
