Services

Now that we have a working bank account, bank cards, and money it is time to get some services done. We are very proud of ourselves that we could locate services on the island that we need.

First, we got our island car serviced.  We hadn't had anything done to the car since we bought it so it was overdue. This was a nice English speaking garage. We got a 7:30 am appointment...aaargghh.  We never get up that early let alone get somewhere. 

The air conditioner in our master bedroom decided to start leaking water. Rick looked at some You Tube videos and was convinced he could fix it himself.  His quest was cut short because he could not get the housing off the unit.  So we called an air cooling service.  The technician took two seconds to take the housing off, clean the filters, pull out a clogged tube, gave it a blow (literally blew into the tube) and it was fixed.


Each room in the house has an air conditioning unit.  Since our master was not working, it gave us the opportunity to try out all the beds. It was a good exercise to make sure each was well equipped and comfortable.  We want to make sure our guests are happy with the accommodations.  I am glad to report that when you visit us you will love the well appointed rooms, comfy beds and quietly working air conditioners. 


Keeping up with the landscaping needs of the compound is a full time job.  We located Marco and he is coming this week to trim all the palm trees, plant some trees that are currently in pots, and give everything a trim. I am hopeful he will come regularly to keep the place looking good. Marco runs a landscaping business out of his home that is about two blocks from our house and on the same street.
