Panama: Advice on San Carlos:

Hello all! I was hoping I might be able to get some good insight and opinions from all of you who have already made the leap! Here is my situation: I am looking at moving to either the Tulum/Playa del Carmen area of Mexico; San Carlos, Panama; or Fajardo, Puerto Rico, from the US. I will be employed as a remote employee for a US company (but will get my own residency visa). I'm in my 40s, female, and will be moving alone--aside from my 2 dogs. I was wondering about a variety of things: how safe a woman alone might feel; how tolerant people are to Pitbulls; any tips/tricks on renting (dealing w/real estate agents/landlords); a good lawyer for the visa; good places to go to buy groceries you miss from home; how reliable is the internet connection at home; will I be lonely (lol); best way to get my belongings there; things I should definitely bring, or leave behind; what if I want to keep my US cellphone, do I just get a local SIM card; buy a used car there, or will a scooter suffice; are medical expenses all out of pocket for temporary residents; will online products (Amazon, etc.) ship there? I realize those are a lot of questions, so don't feel like you have to answer them all, but any advice is appreciated! Thanks so much!
