Good day all. MMM here, don't ask! I'll get right to it.
I 44, wife 37. To young to retire (do nothing). We are looking to get out of the rat race we live in, north Jersey, and move to a warm lo-cal. We looked very hard at Peru as the climate there is good for us, 80-85 summer and 50's winter,(Lima). 8 million pop..
But pollution and a stomach virus on every visit made us reconsider.
We are looking for a B & B or small hotel/inn to keep us busy, and supply an income. The income does not have to be great, but a profit has a way of lifting the spirits. We should have enough money to buy a small place outright or hold only a small mortgage.
We are looking into the following countries: 1st. tier, Dominican Rep., Panama, Venezuela. 2nd. tier Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mexico.
We want something near enough to a town/city so we can enjoy a movie and some nice rest. once in a while. As well as do some people watching, Hospitals/avail. health care is also important. (No witch doctors please)
Any sound advice is welcome, I know there are down sides to all of these locations, storms, political unrest and so on. I really don't want to go to the south Pacific. (far from home).
If I left anything out tell me and I'll be glad to fill in the blanks.
Thanks,
MMM
