Nope, not yet. But, have you scouted out Costa Rica? We loved it there and thinking seriously of buying a retirement home.My wife and I are thinking about a trip there next year and was wondering if anyone has visited.
We are hoping to stay 2 weeks as we scout out the area for a retirement landing spot

I would be nervous about Panama. Costa Rica seems a lot safer. That's just me. Good luck with your search and let us know what you decide.That is one of the other places we are thinking about. We are leaning towards Panama just based on reading about the two of them. We had looked at Malta but in the end it was not really right for us.
We have pretty much 100% decided to retire out of the US, now just the where so we can start our planning well ahead of time.

Coincidently, that's about the same timeframe we are thinking of. 7 to 10 years. So, yeah please do update and I will do the same. Thanks.From what I have read so far it seems both are pretty equal in that area.
I just found a VSO that is out of Panama. They have a ton of information for Vets moving to Panama.
I will be sure to keep you updated as we work through the process. It is still 7 years away at the soonest when I would feel good about retiring.

I played there as part of a Central American Caribbean tour in 1993. At the time it reminded me of Miami in the mid-1970s. I really liked it. But don't go in August. It's one of two places I've played where the temperature was over 100 degrees every day. The other was Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. And it's a brutal, humid heat, as the Atlantic and Pacific meet. I'm talking walk out of the hotel and within 10 steps your shirt is wet. You can actually feel your pores open.My wife and I are thinking about a trip there next year and was wondering if anyone has visited.

Open air casinos are nice, there's a large US military presence, between Rodman Naval and Howard AFB, but that may no longer be the case. The canal operations are a marvel to witness. And I got to swim in the two oceans simultaneously, which is unique. I don't know if I would like to live there, though.

That makes it less appealing.Thanks. I do not think either base is still open.
That makes it less appealing.
Consider the fact that Mexico is doing nothing to stem the flow of people coming through their country. Most originate north of Panama, but some may be heading south instead, and also Medillin, Columbia is not far away. Panama could become a very dangerous place.Only a little. I do not use the VA for much of anything and TriCare insurance is worldwide so we should be fine.

depends on were you go.....probably just like panama....The US is not a dangerous place?
by the way both panama and costa rica are experiencing extensive cartel drug trafficking in their countries......and you know what that means...
No.The US is not a dangerous place?
