We will be planning an exploratory trip sometime in the next 6 months.
Paul, if she's terrified at the prospect, it seems unlikely that anything less than the visit you are planning is likely to change that.
For her to give Ecuador a fair shake, she may need to learn some espanol before the trip. I suggest setting it up now so that when y'all get here, she's not just hanging on your arm the whole time expecting you to do all the communicating.
By the way, not everybody does well at 8,200 feet above sea level. You may want to visit Bahia de Caraques or some other coastal communities in addition to Cuenca. Sure, they get less pub than Cuenca, but a lot of Expats whose constitutions don't agree with high altitudes are doing well on EC's Pacific Coast.
