Guatemala: Doctors and Dogs in Pana?:

@FrancescaW That's just not the case, Yes you do need a script for this class of drugs. No one is walking into a pharm. and buying morphine O-T-C

Guatemala: Looking For an Apartment in Retalhuleu:

Not at all possible in Antigua, expect to pay $700+

Guatemala: Airline Tickets:

The last time I came down I was "Forced" to buy a return ticket, this was at JFK. It seems like the Airlines call the shots on this on.

Guatemala: Purchasing Firearms in Guatemala:

As long as you have Residency and over 25 y/o you can purchase a firearm. There are no restrictions for private gun ownership. Each year you will need to bring your firearms to DECAM to re-register. Good Luck

Guatemala: FedEx ok?:

Well I prefer DHL over FedEX because DHL handles all their shipping in-country where as FedEx contracts out to a 3rd party shipping Co. which in the past I had 2 big issues with them.

Guatemala: Article from vivatropical. com "Guatemala Costa Rica's Retirement Competitor":

Costa Rica is VERY EXpensive in everything and there is no comparison to Guatemala. Been There Done That.

Guatemala: Prescription meds:

Presiptions meds are not a problem, you can buy most drugs w/o a script. I take a bag full of meds per month. Unless you are taking some speciality drug most meds are pennies on the $$

Guatemala: Bottled water:

Guategringo- Can't you ever start a post without saying "I've Been Here 20yrs"? Really Dude

Guatemala: 50yr old wishing to move to and work in Guatemala:

Wow ok let me if I got this right You are a 50yr old, Senseitive, 400 pounds and you want to work on a fishing boat??? Did you ever see a Guatemalan Fishing boat? I'd love to see that happen.

Guatemala: employing local workers:

No it doesn't matter on how many employees you have but what type of business is it? What I have always done was to have ALL my employees under contract (1 yr.) this can be drawn up by an accountant. With full time employees they get many EXTRAS per year so someone who is working for you for a year really gets paid for 14 months plus their time accumulates year to year. They sell Guatemalan Labor Laws (booklet) at Most Bookstores.
