The Bowen Knot: Moving to Ecuador with Dogs ~ FurBabies Sasha: OMGosh, moving Internationally with Dogs is complicated and it can be so expensive.
I was at my wits end trying to figure out all the USDA Guidelines,
Ecuador Guidelines, what shots, when to get shots, rabies shots,
Microchip or not, Parasite checks, flea medications, and the list goes on and on. Then I got on the phone with our new friends Brenda & Bard. They had recently moved down to Ecuador from nearby town back in November, with their two FurBabies. Brenda called me up after I left her a frantic message...
I told her how stressed out I am with the whole PupProcess. I filled her in on the process we have dealt with so far and she suggested that I make an appointment with the Dade City Animal
Clinic in Dade City, Florida....<read more> The Bowen Knot: Moving to Ecuador with Dogs ~ FurBabies Sasha:

Howard's Blog: The Ecuador Coast
Howard's Blog: The Ecuador Coast:
There was plenty of fog and Scott did an excellent job getting us across the mountains safely. Once we got to the other side of the mountain there was a drastic change in the landscape. The area is mostly flat with some mountains in the distance. The most dramatic change was in the temperature. Cuenca was in the high 60's when we left at noon.
The other side of the mountain was humid and 90-degrees or hotter. The highway was surrounded, on both sides, by agriculture. We saw sugar cane, cocoa, and lots of banana trees. From this point forward, the most entertaining part of the trip was observing the traffic.....Howard's Blog: The Ecuador Coast:

The Ecuador Coast-
Wednesday afternoon we joined our friends Curt and Scott in a rental car from Cuenca Car Share and started the six hour journey to the coast of Ecuador. The cities on our agenda were Puerto López and Montañita. This was the first trip for Mike and me completely across and through Cajas National Park. This part of The Andes are known for unpredictable weather and fog. We weren't disappointed.There was plenty of fog and Scott did an excellent job getting us across the mountains safely.

Event Horizon Chronicle: The Great Unraveling of 2015
Event Horizon Chronicle: The Great Unraveling of 2015: The coming year, 2015, will be a real humdinger. Get Ready For Financial Turbulence For the record, a major, global, financial collapse .......Let The Games Begin
That is no accident. Ecuador will hold the rotating presidency of CELAC in 2015. As Ecuadorean head of state, Correa will therefore occupy a crucial position of international leadership in 2015. It will not have been lost on the Chinese that Rafael Correa is a PhD economist, whose doctoral work at the University of Illinois had to do with "game theory."
Game theory is concerned with the mathematical modeling of strategic decision-making, including international decision-making. It is widely used and studied in economics, policy making and political science.
Translation: the Chinese and Latin Americans are going to take the USSA to school. It looks like 2015 will be a Chinese chess match, with the theme being inter-regional, global cooperation, on a win-win
basis, by the Chinese, Russians, and scores of other nations in CELAC and the NAM...<read more> http://eventhorizonchronicle.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-great-unraveling-of-2015.html

Our New Andean Life: Damn Goats!
Our New Andean Life: Damn Goats!: Damn Goats!
As many of you know we have been having serious issues with our goats. To the point where we are seriously considering selling them. First it started off with moving up here on this mountain above Cuenca and eventually not having enough pasture. So, we created more pasture with the hopes of moving them back and forth between pastures every two months or so.
Well, the wire that was sold to Mark as aluminum was not and has started to rust, which has created shorts in the wire. Which means that the electric power running through the fence is weak and the
goats have learned that. Every two or three times a day they go through or hop the fence to head to greener pastures. Our neighbor's pastures....<read more> http://ournewandeanlife.blogspot.com/2014/03/damn-goats.html

<Jour-Ja-Add.Comments>:) "To update this report, I want to add that R&R Rewind Ron O'Quinn moved down here to Ecuador and lives 2 hrs North of Quito in Cotacachi back in JUL 2014."

PIECES OF OUR PAST: RON O'QUINN: An Oldie But a Goodie Who Still Rocks, If it’s a Saturday night and you are listening to the your favorite oldies music, chances are good that you will hear the voice of Dublin’s own, Ron O’Quinn. Ron has been spinning records, pushing buttons and wise cracking jokes on the radio

Ron O’Quinn was born on March 4, 1943 in McRae, Georgia. There was a time when Ron joined the Air Explorer Scouts and dreamed of being a pilot like his father, Joe O’Quinn, who was a fighter pilot in World War II and an instructor at Spence Field in Moultrie, Georgia. Ron can’t think of a more caring mother than his own mother, Nita Adams...<readmore> http://dublinlaurenscountygeorgia.blogspot.com/2015/01/ron-oquinn.html?spref=fb
Georgia Music Hall of Fame-
-2012 Career Achievement Inductee- Ron O’Quinn’s long radio career began at WMGA in Moultrie, while he was a 17 year old junior in High School. After serving in the military as an Army Ranger, O’Quinn returned to his home state and resumed his radio career at WVLD in Valdosta, later working at WROD, Daytona; WLCY, Tampa; WFUN, Miami; WYLD, New Orleans, WUBE, Cincinnati and KYA, San Francisco. An unusual career move took Ron O’Quinn out of the United States in 1966, when he served as program director for Swingin’ Radio England, a pirate radio station broadcasting from the North Sea off the British coast.
This job gave him the opportunity to accompany the Beatles on their U.S. tour in August, 1966, and led to his induction in the Pirate Radio Hall of Fame. Though he was out of radio for several years, Ron returned to the business in 1987, when he syndicated a weekly show heard on 88 stations in the U.S., Rock ‘n Roll Reunion.
He also hosted a local oldies show each weekend on WQZY and WKKZ for 14 years. Ron now has a weekly syndicated show, Rock ‘n Roll Rewind, which is heard all over Europe. Produced from his Glenwood, Georgia home, a version of this weekly program also runs on several radio stations in Georgia.- http://www.grhof.com/2012CAOQuinn.htm
