Cotopaxi Volcano on a clear day

When packing to come back to Ecuador I did not know that I would be working with a sign language group. I left behind a small DVD player. It is essential now. It is too expensive to replace here. Donations anyone?

My in-laws own a restaurant and a juicer (which I sold before returning this time)... would be a great thing to have.

We live Ecuadorian style so we do not need much.
The more one has, the more time it take to care for them.

The picture above is of Cotopaxi Volcano. It can be seen on a clear day from our house.

 Sign Language group
by: Michael Wright

I was curious if you are associated with Testigos de Jehova or Jehovah's Witnesses. We have sign language groups. I am not sure how many other religions do so. I am a Witness from oddly enough the Bolivia (North Carolina USA) congregation and we are interested in moving to Equador probably with the next 8-12 months. If you are a Witness email me back at (email hidden) Thanks, Mike

 I should have brought:
by: Celeste

Any small kitchen appliance (like my blender) that I could fit in a carry-on. I really miss having a veggie-chopper!

More of my favorite all-natural toiletries from Whole Foods.

Frozen cheese. (No joke) And other non-perishible snacks such as beef jerky.

More shoes for me, more clothes to sell here.

More English books.

More maps.

DUH! I can't believe I didn't bring my Spanish dictionary!

Basically, I wish I had brought more of EVERYTHNG! It's really hard/expensive to replace once you move here.

 Electronics
by: Jess

Electronics are so expensive in Ecuador! Especially anything small and handy. Great things to bring from home.
