It's been a while since I trotted out the list, but since you asked...
Texas is infested with scorpions, rattlesnakes, fire ants, crazy raspberry ants, cockroaches on steroids, killer bees, mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, tarantulas, brown recluse spiders, love bugs, swarming crickets, copperheads, cottonmouths, rabid skunks, wild hogs, alligators, oppressive heat & humidity, bleak desolate scenery, dirty beaches, polluted air, dust storms, drought, wildfires, water shortages, recurring floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, rednecks, huge piles of flaming mulch, spontaneously combusting playgrounds, roads hot as flowing lava, the stench of natural and unnatural gasses, amoebic meningitis lurking in area lakes, recurring Ebola virus outbreaks, flesh eating bacteria, staggering homeowner insurance rates, unbelievably high property taxes, mandatory death sentences for DUI convictions, polygamous religious sects, and, lest we forget, doesn't look kindly towards Yankees (per Orchidflower).
OK, I understand a little better now. TX is sort of barren and does get hot in the summer (been there, done that). There is a lot of natural beauty in our hemisphere. Costa Rica is well known for that, for example. Mexico is as well. You both could have a great time exploring the Americas.As to your last question.... I think someone has answered that
But really, nothing major.... for me just HOT in the summer...
I have not been to any of the Central American countries.... so I can not say one way or another... my DW loves nature... she paints them all the time... Me, I would only want to stay a few months at a time..
I have read that if you live in the mountains in Panama that the weather is 'better'... that it does not get too hot or too cold...
I agree that OZ and NZ would not let us stay permanently.... but I am not looking to move there permanently... I have read about one guy who lived in both... you can live in either for up to 6 months out of 12... so he moved between the two... 6 here, 6 there, rinse and repeat....
In the end, I might have an in... I have a nephew who has become a citizen of OZ... and I think even NZ... he was married to someone from both countries (now with NZ).... but, he has moved to India recently and I do not know when (or if) he will move back....
But, yea, I do not plan on leaving Texas....
Have fun!
