No one has ever dedicated a thread to me before

I'm humbled.

Well, NZ is wonderful, I'm sure.
And of course, DUer Al the Cat is there to show one around
But It seems their immigration is such
that one must be rolling in wealth or have some very needed occupation
in order to get in
I have neither
So NZ is out

Now, Central America is much easier
for instance, Panama will let you retire there
if you can prove you have $600/mo steady income
or $50,000 to invest

Belize is a bit more but not that much
or Guatemala

And, of course there are many who simply
travel back and forth from one to another every six months
renewing their visa each time

As I have a means of transportation that can get me there
even, perhaps, one that might allow me to slip out of this country
unnoticed, if I'm lucky and careful

I pick Central Americon edit: oops! I broke the rules
Unfortunately I know a bit too much about escapeartist.com
Seems the owners mainly keep up the site as a means to promore their real estate buisness

But, I have another link to share
two actually
they are forums, like DU of the sailboat expat community on the Rio Dulse in Guatemala
