Let me try this again. ;o)<br /><br />Debbie: Thanks for your comment and oh let me tell you, the sorting, sifting and selling was difficult in 3 months. We gave all our family photo albums to our oldest son to take care of; we sold or gave away most of our furniture; and made a lot of trips to Goodwill. To do it right you really need a year!<br /><br />Kathy: Great memories of our travels; my favorite is in the Coffee Lover's book (sigh!) called "Bad Gastein"! I'll never forget looking out the window and watching the sunrise over the alps in a golden blaze of light. Simply amazing!<br /><br />Jim: Thank s so much for your post (I just read it).I will link your blog to mine! We have Nova (a consolidator for Humana). The website is www.novaecuador.com. Our plan covers office visits, precriptions, and hospitalization. We chose the middle of the road plan (up to $20,000 per year). And we can only go to one hospital -- Mt. Sinai. It's basically like third party reimbursement, we fill out our part and the hospital fills out their part. At Monte Sinai there is a representative who comes into your room and does all the paper work for you! For $80.56 per month for both of us, we feel like we made a good decision. After age 55, the premiums go up so we're thankful we did it now as opposed to later. Hope this helps!Connie Pombohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897266570990786617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305605325493490323.post-69350252769494903762011-01-23T11:15:02.537-08:002011-01-23T11:15:02.537-08:00Connie,
I keep clicking on your email site. I don...Connie,<br />I keep clicking on your email site. I don't know if it's my browser or what, but it won't respond. If you have not already seen my post on cuencaperspectivesbyjim, please do. Is your health insurance through Humana in Ecuador, or some other part of Humana? Do you have hospitalization or just prescription drug coverage? Does your insurance cover you when you are out of the country, particularly the U.S.?<br /><br />I've done a great deal of travel to the Far East, but not to Europe except in fly-overs. I hope to get to Italy someday. I know I've found a gem in Cuenca, but was astounded to read you believe that you have a blend of all of your travels right in Cuenca.

I will survive, and have replaced you, Connie, I will have you know! But not without the memories of Paris, Bellagio and Vienna! I will come to you, and if I had realized that you had the days away limit, I wouldn't have bothered asking. Does this mean no more birthday parties at the lake?www.kathypride.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710159997445577661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305605325493490323.post-2887491104171062362011-01-22T10:46:27.433-08:002011-01-22T10:46:27.433-08:00Connie,

My mind is planning for down the road. Thanks, Debbie<br />P.S. Beautiful day in Bend, crystal clear but 35 degrees!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943277649409866178noreply@blogger.com
