I am an American planing to retire to retire to Panama I think. All I read sounds good and like what I am looking for, especially Pacific side upper elevations (but not mountain tops). Just cool sorta steady temp. I'll make an exploratory trip in mid March. BUT my life partner, a beautiful soul, is Asian and never lived anywhere else. Are there at least 1 or 2 Asian Groceries? Also, I saw here listed the name of a woman lawyer (started with A). Obviously one of my first tasks is to visit local Expat Exchange, find a TRUSTWORTHY lawyer - not someone just waiting to rip off expats and find some knowledgeable people who can point a newbe in the right directions. Then if things look good well rent a while and see how it is, then maybe buy.
