Reply #9: Congratulations to you! Hubby and I looked at NZ in 1994--but [View All]

at the time, English-speaking psychiatrists were leaving South Africa in droves, and one of them jumped on the job my husband wanted in ChristChurch.

So, we ended up staying in the States. Hubby is now past 60 and NZ doesn't want us.

When we started looking at places to escape after the 2004 election, we settled on Panama. We're building a place on the Caribbean side, up near border with Costa Rica. I'm going down later this month to pick up my permanent resident visa as a 'retired' person. We'll probably retire to Panama sometime after
our youngest graduates high school in 08. We HOPE the house will be done by this summer.

Wish we were going this year.

Best luck to you!
