Retire to Hawaii

Nords,
What other important comparisons am I missing?
Culture - will I enjoy the art galleries and museums?
Language - will that DVD rental have English subtitltes (same with movie theaters)?
Dining - do we expect the same range of dining choices as at home?
Financial - will my money continue to go as far as now (inflation and exchange rates trends)?
Investment - can I continue to manage/hold the portfolio choices I have today?
Taxes - will I get credit for any local taxes we pay (i.e. tax treaty)?
Travel - how easy can I get to other places like home and Europe?
Adventure - are there local day trips and parks like we have come to expect?
Charity - can we get involved locally to make our non-financial contributions?
Infrastructure - can we get high speed Internet and Satellite TV in English?

These are some of the issues we are considering regarding moving to Mexico or Uruguay (in addition to your list).
