: That's why thinking people need a capable voyaging sailboat. The time is nigh to start looking for a new country. Personally I like the Bahamas. Almost a third-world country. Parliamentary govt. Small bureaucracy. They just don't have the money or personnel to harass boaters. No sales tax. Prices are a little high but I'd rather pay higher prices to the businessman and no taxes to the govt. than lower prices to the businessman and high taxes to a govt. that uses tax revenues to slowly take away your freedom. The Democrats said it's time for a change. Now that they are in power I'm beginning to agree with them. It's time for a change in countries. Wilbur Hubbard One of my female friends just built her SECOND house in Playa Del Hermosa Jaco, Costa Rica. CR is very American-friendly. She used local architects, builders, craftsmen for everything. Every drawer pull, handle and handrail was made by local blacksmiths, by hand. It's beautiful! Hermosa is CR's surfer paradise on the Pacific. http://www.jacowebs.com/Kelies/FrameSet.htm Not ONE pool.....two!...(c; CR might be a great place to move to. Very little "government" standing in your way, especially if you're doing something to improve Costa Ricans. Larry -- How much price inflation is caused by illegal aliens gobbling up goods and services, creating shortages for the natives? I heard 40%! |

He loves it. Even married a young honey. He says the money goes further there and it's really nice living conditions. I might check it out one of these days but I'd prefer the Caribbean side over the Pacific side. Wilbur Hubbard |

Wilbur Hubbard Would $130K impress you?....(c; It's in an American-dominated neighborhood of like homes up on the side of the mountain overlooking the Pacific. She sold the house across the street, sort of the Version 1.0, to some more Americans who moved down. I miss her....(c; Larry -- |

@corp.supernews.com: Nice place. We loved Belize, but haven't been to CR. CR is nicer, at least as I've been told. CR isn't owned by Coca-Cola like Belize politicians are.....and CR natives are VERY friendly towards NICE Americans/Canadians. I'm told Belize sort of resents the big corporation owning the country, which I can easily understand..... Larry -- |
