I thank all of you for your kind words.,. I don't check this site everyday and post to start a fight with anyone. I try to do my best to help anyone I can. because no one was here 6 years ago to help me.

I don't know it all, far from it, and sometimes what was the LAW 6 years ago has changed. If I know it's true I'll post it. I had a lady email me today from this site to ask me a question and I couldn't be sure of my reply so I told her I didn't know but I also told her how to find out for sure.

like I told her a mistake can and will cost you guys time and money, none of us have either to lose.

My main reason for doing this is I just don't want to see another hard working expat pour their life savings into something and then find out they were lied to and lose it all just to get out.

I have spent thousands of dollars I never should have spent to get things done because I didn't know any better.

I am sorry that sometimes my writing comes across to brass or to know it all, I don't mean it to be. I am human after all, I can be wrong but I will be the first to tell you, sorry I was wrong. If I don't know I don't post, just like the lawyer question, I couldn't tell any of you to use this person or that one because all I have used in the past were worthless, cheats who stole my money. but I did research it and found a site that many expats were saying this lady lawyer did what she said she would do. I don't know her, but I passed the info along.

I love all you guys, I understand what a huge leap this is for you. many many unknowns here. everything new, it gets a bit much. even for me I still have to go outside and take a time out and look at the sky.

you really have to be ready to roll and adjust here if not stay home because it will test you. you have to have a open mind and be able to say o well here's another 100.00 so we can get this fixed, of course you don't get it until it is fixed.

anyway I just wanted to say thank you to all again for taking your time to post something good. it means a lot to me.

I want to thank Mark for all of his input. While we are seriously studying the move to panama, only a person who has done it can offer accurate information. I study every bit of info I can get my hands on. Heven't been to El Valle, but I know it geographically like the back of my hand. I haven't been to Panama but I am so well read now that the only thing left to do is to go there and check it out.
And thats going to happen this year.

This person could be doing other things but I feel more comfortable after any and all of his informative posts. Please keep it up.

I agree. Mark has been great. His info has been extremely helpful.
You and I seem to be on the same track! I just booked a trip for this August to check out certain areas that I have researched extensively, El Valle being one of them. I will be flying into Panama City, driving to El Valle for a few days than on to Penonome then to the Azuero Penninsula, especially Las Tablas, Pedasi and as much of the rest of the area as possible. Focusing primarily on the the mountaneous areas like El Valle and Penonome, but the Azuero Penninsula sounds interesting. Read a lot of good things about the area, friendly people, not crowded, unspoiled, great beaches, etc. If all goes well, than the big move next summer. Like you, this is the last thing left to really be sure. I've researched the area to death. I will post what I find out when I get back. Hopefully good news.
