Just checked out the site, very cool stuff going on.
I have another web site if anybody is interested. I have not been to there project in person yet, only on line. I have had some e-mail contact, and they seem to be doing some cool stuff with sustainable building, using local materials including a traditional mud over bamboo construction. They offer courses as well. http://www.ranchomastatal.com/home.phpWe’ve worked very closely with Scott C. and the others from 2costarica. They are a very proffesional group. We purchased through them and are very pleased.
Thanks Bill, yea, the plano was through INVO in February,we were told it shouldn’t be more then 3 or 4 weeks more. That was almost 5 months ago. I guess I’m just worried that it somehow hit a snag, and that it is possibly just sitting there with no one aware of it.
I guess I’m wondering if there’s anyway to find indication that the waiting is all we can do, or if there is a way to determine if it is even still in the system.Mark here, Pranaspakeywest, thanks so much for the info.
kungfumasta, thanks, it would be great to find (mr?)Vindas. Sounds like he has the perfect backround. I’ll start looking for him, via the web, and ask some of my contacts In Costa Rica to look too.
Lotus, thanks so much. I went onto the Vegetable Steel site,they seem to have it all together. I e-mailed them and will see where things go.
Thanks again, Mark.Thanks for the referal. Does Felipe have a web site by chance?
I’m still here in the States, and I’d love to get a look at some of his work. If anybody knows of a web adress, please post it, thanks.This is mark again, thanks for all of the responses so far. However, to be clear, what we’re looking for is an alternative to flying our dogs in the baggage section of a plane. They are big dogs, each about 95 lbs, so taking them in the cabin, as far as I know, is impossible.
If anybody is familiar with other transport methods, possibly by land or sea then I’m all ears. Or perhaps there are ways to get onto some sort of philantropic rich dog lover’s private plane. I figure that there’s going to be something out there that works.
We are probably looking at moving in a year or so, so this is plenty of time to make this happen.
As far as why we picked Quepos, it’s got everything we need and love , including REALLY high real estate prices!!! LOL.
Yes, the prices have gone up, but coming from Key West, the prices seem pretty tame. We are purchasing two acres at the end of a road, and the property borders Manuel Antonio Natl Park. Development will be very little around us, so we will be able to live in the middle of a costal resort town which offers everything we will need, including tourists to be able to continue making a living from, and still be able to have a secluded jungle way of life. We own a Day Spa here in Key West, and will be eventually running a small retreat spa on our land. We also have several friends who are buying in the area, so we will have that too.
Has anybody driven to CR from the States, if so what are the safety issues? Has anybody heard of hiring a “guide” to drive with?
Thanks…
