Half a Cake is Better Than None

Tomorow I hope to head for Cochabamba.
I had an idea for a business in Colombia that sounded like fun for me and had ofers o help from two quarters. My thoughts are turning that way because in looking a world wide costs and values, and doing some calculating ---- my availanle principle is now worth only half of what it did just two years ago. Not good. Still days are pleasant and cost are down since this intestial infection has cut into my appetite.

Trip Stalled

It's my fault. It's my own fault. I haven't handled my responsibility well. Because of not handling my remaining rental house in a businesslike way my trip plans are stalled. I have been unable to contact any personal of the property management outfit I have selected. I find on this Saturday that neither there real estate office nor their rental office is taking calls. I get no answer from extensions or cell phones.
I do have a voice-mail message from a representative of that management outfit telling me that they have been unable to find the rental house!
I chose a management company so that I would have a secure contact for the rental while I am out of the country. I explained to them that we would have to do business by e-mail. They said the loved to do business that way. I have been trying to contact them be e-mail for the lat four days with no response!
My 20 year old tenant, (chosen for me by another rental company people who did not fulfill their contract) who I have been trying unsuccessfully to contact for 25 days. She contacted me from afar in response to a certified letter from me. I employed this manager because of the difficulty I have had in contacting my tenant. Be that as it may, I'd like to respond to her present call, but what can I say? That her rent has or has not been raise? That she will, or Will not be dealing with a property manager? That I am in the process of changing property managers?
For me, as for most, planning a trip is more than looking at maps and buying a ticket.
