I arrive in Managua April 7th. PM me if you have any info.

Anyone know of anyone who has had or is capable of doing this in MGA?

What veggies are available at certain times of year in the Tola area? Is corn available year round and is it any good?

Just bought my tickets to move down on April 7th. I am bringing my dog as cargo and I need to get in touch with the customs agent at MGA I thought this might be a good place to find info for the office there. Our flight doesnt land until 8pm so I am hoping we can arrange for he or she to stay late to import our dogs. Thanks for any info in advance.

Hoping I wont have to go into Managua to find a good dentist.

As the finishing date for my house moves further back and my desire to leave the states moves closer and closer I have come to the realization that I will need to rent for a couple months. I am looking for a studio or a one bedroom for myself my girlfriend and our two dogs. I am on the fence as to if I want to be in Gigante to be close to the work or if I want to ease into life in Nicaragua in SJDS. If anyone has info on rentals I would greatly appreciate it.

I have read this site for over a year now. I have bought property and am moving from here in Hawaii to the Tola region next month. I have barely contributed to the site as most of the topics I am curious about were covered here years ago Though I almost never respond I do enjoy reading the daily blogs. They have slowly prepared me for transition into Nicaragua.

I am moving to Nicaragua with 2 well behaved mostly quiet dogs.. We will be living in on the Tola coast. I am curious how tolerated dogs are in day to day life in Nicaragua.. May I bring them on buses? Will hotels allow them? Planes to corn island? Obviously a lot of this would be on a case to case basis. I am just trying to get a an overall feel for how much freedom my four legged friends will have on our adventure in Nicaragua.

I will be moving to Nicaragua in late March. My Casita may or may not be finished until the end of April. Instead of waiting until it is finished I would prefer to travel around the country for awhile. My casita will be located North of Gigante. In my past visits to Nicaragua I have not ventured away from the Pacific coast except for a stay in Granada. So my I wanted to tap the knowledge base here at NL to see what you would do with 6 weeks in Nicaragua?

Moving down this spring with dogs and surfboards in tow so I am planning to buy a car in California and drive it down. I am curious if anyone has experience having cars worked on and trying to get parts in Nic. What car should I bring that will be the easiest to find parts and have work done on?
