so we made it to puerto rico (my suitcase took a longer route, but finally made it today. yay!) perhaps a bit battered from our long day of traveling, but we made it. of course the visit is really business oriented: find mom and dad a place they can comfortably live for (at least) the next year.
mission accomplished!
yesterday we spent what felt like the whole day looking at possibilities, and we narrowed it down to two choices, but as mom talked them over with dad and evaluated her responses to both she decided to go with a house that was fully furnished (which will take a great deal of stress out of the preparation process) and in (or at least very very near) the town of isabela where dad's company is based.
it really is a lovely place, and completely ready for them to simply move in!
the front of the house was ok. not great, but the second you walk in... air conditioning!!! there is always a breeze blowing here, but it is rather warm. electricity bills can get high here, and the locals are accustomed to the temperatures, so a/c units are not common.
the living room is bright and airy, and very nicely furnished (this was taken while standing in the kitchen).
the kitchen isn't large, but there is an island which gives lots more counter and storage space. plus, the open floor plan opens everything up nicely.
it's extremely unusual for private residences to have dishwashers. extra bonus!
nice big master bedroom, with a king size bed and still lots of room. (picture taken from master bath doorway)
master bathroom. (anyone know how to use the second toilet/foot wash?)

That looks great! Trust me, you will LOVE the AC and dishwasher. After living down in Mexico for the last ten months I can vouch that ac and dishwashers were are rare commodity, especially the dishwashers! Woo-hoo for you!
