We are coming to Panama to research where to retire in about 6 months. Would like to meet people who already live there for opinions and suggestions.
Specifically, we are looking at:
SORA - looks nice
EL VALLE - looks very nice but expensive?
SANTIAGO
SAN FRANCISCO
SANTA FE
DAVID
VOLCAN
BOQUETE - my husband is in love with this
place...on paper
We would really like to meet anyone in these areas who might be able to help us decide with what they have experienced in their move and living experiences. We would be more than happy to spring for lunch or dinner or tea or whatever.
Also, if anyone has good suggestions about other cities/towns that we may have overlooked - also very much appreciated. We are looking for someplace that is economically reasonable to live ($800 rent for 2 bed would work well) and is not too far from a larger city with good doctors/shopping. I would LOVE to have spring like weather year round (say 70-85 degrees F all year).
You get the idea - I want perfection. Just kidding. If anyone could help us by spending an hour or two, and maybe getting a free meal for your help, we would be so appreciative.
I'm Tina and relatively new to the site so hi and hope to hear from everyone.
