France: Transportation - Is a car needed in Languedoc-Roussillon?:

I am coming in March to investigate relocating to the L-R area of France. Is public transportation adequate from, say, a small village like Amelie or will I need a car? Also, can anyone enlighten me re medical needs? Do I need insurance for France? I have Medicare with a supplement in the US. Thanks.

Nicaragua: Teaching English:

I have an ESL Teacher Certificate. Does anyone know of A school that might employ me in Granada or SJDS?

Italy: Le Marche:

Can anyone provide informationabout the Le Marche region? How is this area reached and from what airport? I am flying from USA. Also, compare pros/cons of living on the coast to living in the countryside. I am coming to investigate living there as a retiree. Thank you very much.

Portugal: Rental Costs in Portugal:

It's been a few years since I was in POrtugal (before the Euro). Can anyone comment on what I can expect to pay for a small rental? Also the cost of food and basic household items? Thanks!

Nicaragua: Corruption in Nicaragua:

Thank you for posting this story about your experience. I agree that people post positive comments more often than negative. I have never read anything so unfair in my life! I have been thinking about retiring in Nica, but, after reading this, I don't think so. It's a wonder you and your wife survived the experience. I am sure your health suffered from all the stress, not to mention what the unsanitary jail conditions most likely did to your kidneys. I hope you are feeling better I could not live there if that happened to me, no matter how much I had invested. Do you really think justice is possible and worth staying there?

Nicaragua: Great Rental in Granada:

Fred, Do you think that OK Corral is a safe, secure place for a single female? Does it have hot water & AC?

Portugal: Guimaraes: Culture Capital:

Hi, I've enjoyed several vacations in Portugal, and it is truly a wonderful place. I am planning to return early 2013. Can you tell me where Guimaraes is located? It sounds lovely. Thanks!

Nicaragua: Nicaragua is the place to be! I've been Bamboozled!:

Yes, I'd like to see your bamboo house.

Nicaragua: Electricity & Water Cut-Offs:

Today, I read a warning, on a vacation rentals-Granada website, about electricity going out for 4 hours per day & sometimes water also. Can anyone elaborate on that? I plan to come for August.

Nicaragua: Mosquitos and other insects:

Searching for information on living in Nica, I've noticed many houses have lovely inside gardens. I've also seen dining area in a patio type room that is open on the sides. My question is what do you do about flies, mosquitos, and other insects that must abound in the warm, humid climate.
