Where to live. by Sharlyn828
There are so many places to choose from. I don't want a tourist place or a little village either. I need to have a doctor or medical facility be at least an hour from where I finally settle. I think a condo would be my best bet. Can I hear ...
This update is to tell of my bus trip to Coco & area. Main thing is to get a direct bus or it takes twice as long. The storms were here too, but with hot periods. I was looking for a small apartment or rooms but there wasn't much in my ... Read More
Almost there by Peglove
Hi everyone my name is Peggy I would like to retire to costa rica in two years anyone have suggestions on some where close to shopping or transportation since I don't drive?

Hello Strange subject header, I know. And apologies for the long post. I was hoping for some advice. I've spent days browsing the forum and have learned a lot, but I've now got 'analysis paralysis' and have totally confused myself, ...
During my travels around the country, I can say as someone who has walked, driven and hiked across the UK many times and reads history books for fun, that it is nothing like Norfolk. England has so much more history to share, not like here. ... Read More

Your right, the area I was considering was higher than the town. I may go back when the weather is not so wet. The buses in the more rural towns I have used left from the town plaza then straight on to center of the next town, stopping on the main ... Read More

As a frequent bus traveler, I will say there sure isn't much space for a dog to lie under the seat in front, unless it is really small. Read More
