Recycles dryer sheets
Hello,
I'm not retired but within that 5 yr mark if things go as planned. I've considered spending part of my retirement time living in a warmer climate than Seattle WA from Jan-May timeframe.
I've visited Thailand (I know, I know) and the Philippines up until this point when I visited Panama for the first time June of 2013.
It was a quick trip with one day in Panama City being tourist for a day and 5 days in Bocas del Toro (just 300 miles away) again just being a tourist and hanging out.
Initial thoughts are living expenses would be ~ 50% less than Seattle WA. Folks are real nice and lots of ex-pat types. Nice and warm of course and not as much of the adult playground atmosphere like Thailand for PI (from what I saw).
I'm wondering if other forum members have information regarding the city "David" in Panama? Panama City is a nice big city and Bocas was more of a smallish surfer, hostel, backpacker crowd from what I could see.
So far I'm having a hard time finding a "warmer/dryer" climate that does't have a really sticky humid factor as well
Thanks in advance. Cheers.
