HORNS OF A DILEMMA

11 years ago
In my other posting, I have described my present intentions about moving down south. However, in the process of decision making, I am constently running into new questions. To WIT:

I had decided to initially settle in Cahuita NC but had the regulation problem of leaving the country every three months by traveling a long distance. But with intention of becoming a Pentionado --- Then, by accident, I learned of the border crossing near Gaubito, Panama. That made a part of the problem much easier. Shortened Travel.

Up to then I had no intention of residing in Panama as I wanted to live on the Carribian, but Panama the travel seemed impossible.
That border crossing made it possible. Now comes the dilemma

I prefer the laws of Panama to those of NC, except for vehicles. As I understand it, while a panama pentionado, I can only keep my pick up for 90 days. Is this true? I am 86 years old, and have been driving since I was 8. I would be lost without my wheels. I would plan on making some trips in itlike into the CR Parks.

I have been wondering if I could somehow take up residency in one country, and use that border crossing as a timed escape route as required by both countries. I won't know until I check out the areas in person, but at the moment I think I would prefer to become a pentionado (or permanent resident) in Panama and Tourist in CR
In any event, I have another problem.

I will be bringing all my worldly posessions with me in my pickup and a utility trailer. While I am determining my course of actions in the above, and traveling hither and yon, I need a secure storage area in which to protect my property. Any suggestions? Obviously I need some help.

Your consideration and advice regarding the above, would be greatly appreciated
