  Carnival Comment

  I'm finding conflicting information. Carnival around the world appears to occur with a relationship to the dates for... and again conflicting information. Some sources say it is before Carnival, and some sources say it is during Carnival. ...

  Carnival Message

  Is Carnival the same time every year?

  When will carnival be held for 2009?

  How does one find the activities? Is... the activities are taking place?

  Dormitorio de Servicio Message

  Another "What is it?" question.

  What is a dormitorio de servicio? A service bedroom? Whatever it is, it sounds like... bedrooms.

  Honest, I do go to the Spanish dictionary before I bother you, but I am drawing a blank on this one....

  Gardening_Service Comment

  The "week" that I change to "month", would mean that they come by 3 times per month?

  I was thinking: U$1200 for 12... Even if he is only giving 3 visits a month, he isn't making enough money that he can wait 8 months between paychecks....

  Gardening Service Message

  Is it possible to hire a year-round gardener in Piriapolis?

  The reason I ask, is that I like the houses that I am... it looks like no one is living there. A weekly gardening service would go along ways towards eliminating that problem....

  Dogs_in_Uruguay Comment

  Thank you.

  Dogs are allowed in restaurants all over Europe, and Uruguay is a very European country, so I figured it... November, so maybe the first 2 weeks of December, but more likely February or March, in order to get off season rates....

  Non-stop flights Message

  I know there is a non-stop flight from Miami to Montevideo on American Airlines. But I couldn't get it to come up on... a call to the airlines, and I was told they don't do that flight any more. Too bad, because their prices are lower...

  Permanent_Residency_in_Retirement Comment

  I saw it written where persons whose income is from a pension or rents must show $1500 a month, not $500. The $500... never even been to Uruguay. I am just researching like crazy, with plans to move to Uruguay and purchase a house....

  Dogs in Uruguay Message

  Are dogs allowed into restaurants and public places (museums and such) in Uruguay?

  I'll be vacationing in Uruguay for... in a hotel.

  I dislike being separated from her, and would prefer to bring her is she is not going to be a problem....

  Tourist Season Message

  I'm hoping to live in Uruguay for the end of Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, and March of every year.

  I was thinking that Punta... shopping? I'm not a recreational shopper, but would like to be able to buy groceries and household items, at least....

  Gastos comunes Message

  I am looking at real estate listings for sale and the apartementos list "gasto comunes"

  I am hoping that apartementos... (barely)the real estate listings, except I can't figure out some of the local idiom.

  Any help would be appreciated....

  Introduction Message

  Hi guys. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am very seriously considering moving to Uruguay part time as a snow bird.... food, the people, the weather, seem to be just what I like.

  I will try to split my posts into individual questions....
