On our invoice, it states a 625 DVR receiver. Do you have one of these in stock, SkysTheLimit? If he doesn't follow through today, I'm through w...

Update... Guess who just called? Orbitron! Of course, he is so very sorry, but he can't come out today to run the line to our living room because ...

OK - Here's the update... Yesterday afternoon, Orbitron showed up and repointed our dish. Then, at 4pm, he showed up to hook up the receiver. B...

I'll keep everyone up to date on this one... I FINALLY got in touch with Orbitron. They promised that they would be by at 11am tomorrow to get t...

Thanks for the advice so far. We did actually meet him in person - when he came to the house to "assess our needs". He did not take credit cards, so...

Thank you for all of the information. I looked online and found much of the same information, but I also know that there are many "special" ways thin...

They loved me when I arrived and they love me even more now. I'm even thinking of foregoing the usual deodorant in the morning for "Eau de Deet".

You guys rock! Now I'm going to be covered in mud with catnip, basil and plants hanging around my neck. I may just scare the mosquitoes away!

Thanks, limetime2 - Yes, you have passed the mosquito lovers over to our place. We are bleaching the cistern; we watch for standing water; this morni...

After the rain we've had, I'm ready to roll in the mud - if that's the only solution for a mosquito repellant...

Melissa, THANK YOU!!!!! I've missed you and have been wondering what you've been up to, but you're right! My husband and I have been working and h...

We just shipped our car, using Crowley, from Fort Lauderdale. I had water bottles and dog treats under my seats. Everything was still there when it...

We took a 6am flight from Fort Lauderdale to San Juan. I'm not sure if that early flight is still available, but it might be worth looking into.

I'm not sure if you're read my posts, but I traveled with my 65 pound dog in the middle of June, and chartered a plane. But, we were able to get an e...

We just finished reading their book, "A Trip To The Beach", and would also love to know what they're up to and if anyone has eaten there.
