[quote=”maravilla”]yes, the lighthouse animal rescue will board your animals if they are good with other dogs and wouldn’t mind not being penned up by themselves. i don’t have a contact number for kitten jones, who runs the rescue/boarding facility, but if you google lighthouse animal rescue – atenas, costa rica, it should come up.[/quote]
thank you both so much!thanks to everyone for the good information! I will try the congressperson in our district–I contacted our local Social Security office, and the gentlemen tried to be helpful but was unable to answer all of my questions–in fact, he was more interested in asking ME questions about Costa Rica, and retiring there!!!
I went to the site for Aerocasillas, but the closest delivery was in Grecia, and maybe I don’t understand how it works, but it seemed to be a ways to go to pick up our “stuff”–but then maybe I don’t understand the process (probably!), and a bit expensive–I haven’t looked up a kilogram (I’m only familiar with pounds and ounces at this point), and couldn’t figure out how much I would have to pay for letters/bills arriving from the US; maybe I will just do as you propose: arrive with a 90 day supply of meds, and during that time, I should be able to figure out what is available in Atenas, and the cost, and figure out the Aerocasillas process– My husband is diabetic, so needs all that stuff that comes with keeping his insulin in check!! thank you both for the added insight!!
I just checked with Medco, and they said we would have to write a very detailed letter requesting a 12 month supply of all the meds, including an explanation of where we are moving and why! This has to be reviewed by their appeals board, then if approved the dr faxes in to them a request for a 365 day supply! Seems like a lot of trouble but I’ll give that a try! I’m also going to check into Aerocasillas, too, for our mail from the US–thanks for the info on that!
Thnk you both for the informative insight! I realize we’re selling our home in California at the worst time, but I’ve heard it’s only going to get worse when ARMS start adjusting again next year; I don’t want to lose our retirement savings, if I don’t have to and we don’t know if we’ll end up short-selling or foreclosing; anyone who “has been there done that” insight advice would be appreciated!
sorry so late in getting in on this discussion, but we, too, are going to be building in Atenas; we have the lot paid for already, but are looking for a good builder who is committed to doing quality work; is it possible to get the name of your builder, and perhaps architect?
we need the ice maker in our refridgerator. electrical dryer, electrical stove, and dishwasher installed..do you know of someone in or near tenas?
Thank you, Dave…we appreciate any help we can get; this forum is great for us newbies who don’t know what the heck we are doing when it comes to purchasing real estate and everything related to that “experience”..we hope to be able to return the favor and offer advice to those in need one of these days..
