Whewy! It’s hot out there. Especially when you’re riding your bike….
99 Degrees in Colorado
On the plus side, it’s great for swimming.
81 degrees in Puerto Rico almost every day
Looks like it’s a little windy in PR, I think they just missed a tropical storm.
I called to price out what it would cost to ship our stuff (including a car) to Puerto Rico and this is what I received. I think for these prices we’ll just sell most everything and buy the stuff there. Another blog site written by a couple who already moved there, The Kruse Chronicles, told me that a car is about $2,000 more there than here because of shipping, but that sounds like a deal compared to paying almost $3,000 just to ship an old car! They also said they sent most of the their stuff via US mail and sold everything else on Craigslist and garage sales. We’ll see.
As a reminder, the price quote to ship your 1998 Honda Civic on Open carrier from Greeley, CO to Lares, PR is $2,570.

Plus all this fine print makes me wonder if that is truly the final price:
This estimate includes labor, loading, unloading, protective wrapping of
furniture and basic valuation. Carrier reserves the right, at shipper’s expense
and shippper’s agreement, to re-pack any item not correctly packed by
shipper. Packing material and labor may or may not be included and will be
charged per items ordered and listed on the packing materials price list. On
interstate moves an 18 wheeler may be used to deliver the property. If the
origin/destination does not have access for an 18 wheeler the shipper may be
required to pay for shuttle service. This estimate is rate based on the weight
estimated. The total amount of this binding estimate must be paid in full prior
to unloading. Additional charges will incur for services performed not
specified in the estimate. I understand that I may be notified of final charges
prior to delivery and while in transit. All charges are based on tariff rates.
The first date indicated as available for delivery is the first date of the delivery
window. Pickup and delivery dates are estimates and not guaranteed. Tariff
is available for viewing upon reasonable request. Shipper and/or agent has
full authority to order services and enter into this agreement.
I think pictures and imbedded media really make a difference in the quality of the blog, which is why I hope that this will work. Let’s find out. If it does, this is a picture of the place in Puerto Rico in December with a baby goat named Annie (her mama wouldn’t feed her so she was “Orphan Annie”). I am standing in front of one of the three cabanas.
