Hi, I'm Rickey.
My wife, Ulvia, and I own a condo in Salinas, on Ecuador's Santa Elena Peninsula, and we split our time between here and Alabama. Salinas Coast Notebook is where I'm writing down what we've learned, so your first trip or your first month goes smoother than ours did.
Six guides are up on the site now:
Arriving in Salinas, Ecuador: flying into Guayaquil and getting to the coast
Your first 30 days: what to handle first and what can wait
Renting a condo: how housing and HOAs really work
Healthcare: where we go, and when to head to Guayaquil
Money, banking and utilities: cash, ATMs and paying the bills
Salinas by season: weather, crowds and whale season
I’ll send a short note about once a month with new guides and things worth knowing. No spam, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
If you have a question about Salinas, just reply to this email. I read every one.
Rickey
