Hi, I have been doing a lot of reading on "living in ecuador" and how everything is so affordable beyond belief. I have been "dreaming" on how life would be. There is a lot at stake considering the huge change in lifestyle, etc. My biggest concern is the school system in Ecuador. I haven't found much info on that maybe because a lot of people retire to Ecuador and do not necessarily have school aged children (is my guess). Anyhow, my father lives in the outskirts of Guayaquil. I am planning a 10 day trip in July 2010. I hope to open my husband's eyes to how beautiful Ecuador truly is. Anyways, any information given would be greatly appreciated. Also, it seems the job market is not that great. i have thought that maybe an online business would be good. Not sure!
