Ecuador: Free tour of Quito's Cascadas and Haciendas.:

Yo! Hey, what a great idea = another free tour! Most of the ones I've taken recently have been space-trips, you know = virtual, but with full screen and sound, I come around... Now, however, seems to be an appropriate time to ask for a FREE ticket, from Bangkok to Quito, so's I can jump on your offer! Please advise airline and times. Thanks a million and "hasta luego!"

Ecuador: Ecuador trip report:

Hola! I am keenly interested in Medellin (and/or Cali). Was there in the '70's, when Escobar paid for just about everything. Now, however, I hear that young guys routinely carry guns, and use 'em. What's the true scoop? regards, Carl F.

Ecuador: Eager to move...but wary..:

The attitude I've 'adopted' in these later years is the (only) one I know of that effectively defies both Gravity and Cynicism: It is called "Levity." (nb: I did not say 'levitation.') Oh no! Old Dan Webster defined the word long ago, when he wrote: "Levity: Lightness of attitude, friviolity, not taking anyone, any place or anything too seriously, including yourself." Not only that, this (reality) is a passing (fancy)! It is not here to stay. Which means I gotta be real careful about ATTACHING myself to anything. Especially fancy Dans, fancy pants, fancy dames and/or fancy dances. Can you fancy (all) that, at once? Life's A Beach! THAT'S THE SPIRIT! It's a Gas! Carl Frtederick www.carlfrederick.org

Ecuador: Manta:

Los Banos Ecuador ] ]On your coastal trip, did you run thru Los Banos, supposedly the mouth of the Amazon? Can find apartments/condos for rent there? Where u are? Thanks, carl

Ecuador: Move to Ecuador or Panama? Help?:

As a "seasoned" traveler over several decades, my suggestion would be to trash that haunting attitude dubbed as : "Fear of The Unknown." Hard Truth is that the world is your oyster, if you see it that way. "Doing what I like is... Freedom!" "Liking what I do is... Happiness!" Carl Frederick www.carlfrederick.org

Ecuador: Getting "Retirement" Visa BEFORE leaving USA?:

Can someone tell me the "conventional wisdom" about applying for a 'Retirement/Pensionado' Visa? If possible, I'd like to have the permanent resident Visa in hand, before leaving the USA. Or, do I have to come in as a tourist and file for permanent status from within Ecuador? Thanks in advance, Carl Frederick carlfrederickone@gmail.comn
