I know this topic has been exhausted here and many of my questions may be answered elsewhere but I have a to unload my thoughts and decided to do it here and see what advise I get... thanks in advance to anyone that can shed some light.
My husband will possibly be transferred to PR with his job. We have a soon to be 3 year old and my main concern is the transition for him and his education. We have a house here and really don't think selling is a good idea so we will be renting it out. We will rent be renting in PR, preferably a house with at least 3-4 bedrooms and AC. ;-) I would say our rental budget is about $2000. I want to find a good private school that is English speaking. I am not 100% sure on the are yet but it will likely be Caguas or somewhere between Caguas and San Juan. (my husband is originally from Caguas. I would prefer a gated community. We will definitely be sending my car but not sure about my husband's as he will be provided a company car. And we will most likely take all of our furniture. I have looked ALOT in Caguas for houses only because that is the only area I know. And as for a job for me... IDK. I work in banking now. I am fluent in Spanish (my family is Dominican) but I feel self conscious about it at times, like think I sound funny. anyway... okay I have a few questions.
House - Can someone suggest other areas or specific neighborhoods that I may like. (AC, larger houses, $1500 to $2000 budget)...
Schools - Private/Catholic preferably English speaking, Not too pricey but am willing to check out all options. I looked at St, Johns and LOVE it. In the are ranging for Caguas to San Juan...
Groceries - I know that in PR they eat LOTS of meat and I feel like most foods at restaurants especially have some kind of beef, pork or chicken in it. We do eat seafood but we also eat a variety of veggies. So the question is do the grocery store have a variety of fresh veggies (broccoli, green beans, squash, asparagus and so on...) I feel like when I think of typical PR food it all rice, beans meat, platanos and yuca. Will I find a variety or normal green veggies as well??
Cars and furniture - Will it cost a lot to ship them. if they are financed can I ship it over there. My car happens to be financed with a Bank that is also in PR so I think that might make it a little easier.
Jobs - Seeing as I have quite a bit if banking experience and speak Spanish I really shouldn't have an issue right. I am not sure that I really want to go into banking though.
I'm sure I have a ton more questions but these are the basics on my mind right now.
Thanks!!!
