| 10. Not really. It is just difficult to get permission. You need a job for that! |

| 12. YES. Get a job there first and then permission follows. |

Getting the job is more difficult for some than the rest!

| 13. I had heard there were waiting lists years long. |

There are days I think it would be a good move and other days I just know New England is in my blood and I'll stay and fight for it.
:sigh:

| 3. my big sis moved to Belize after/because the 2004 election was stolen-I miss her :( |

I also have other friends that have property in Belize in case martial law is declared here.....
and if they start the draft my son will somehow get to Belize...
And a few friends that are moving to Canada, but it seems there is a backlog of applications-so there is a 6 mo-one year additional delay...

The good of America that I knew as a child and as a young adult is now gone. I don't see it recovering. The people have changed too much.

soon to build retirement home on inheritable property in un-named Central American nation. Haven't heard if the credit crunch has interrupted the planning, but I guess it's so long SF, American life's been good! Hope they'll remember to include a small long-term guest house.
