Dawn, Yes being a Virgo I know all about planning and then planning again!As we look around the house we see how easy it is to part with what we thought we could never live without.But yes we won’t forget the 600 count sheets, there are some things you just CAN’T live without!
Well, you know the beauty of airlines is that IF we find the place as you say “it might suck” we can go some other places. How can you be so sure that Costa RIca is NOT calling to us? We don’t know anything for sure as life is not for sure. As I said in my first post, there are so many fears that we put upon ourselves, so let life come and see where it takes you. We are some of the most stable people, according to our family and friends who seem to think this is a great adventure for us. As for our disposable income, wouldn’t that be nice to have it. And how can you comment without even knowing us!
Don’t get me wrong here! We have decicded to do this, BUT we have 3 different airline tickets purchased to visit San Jose and Libera before we make the move, each trip being 3 weeks. I’m crazy (according to my son) but not that crazy, well? The house will go up, if all goes well after our first trip down. My point was that sometimes in life you just need to let go and follow your heart. My husband and I are both still young and heathly. Costa Rica seems to be calling to us and for sometime or permantly we plan on adventure, friendship, travel and headaches (I am sure). Spanish is coming alittle everyday, but along way to go. I don’t have rose colored glasses on, but am up to the challenge!
As I read so many of these posts I am convienced that we put so many unnessacery fears upon ourselves. My husband has a great saying, “If you can’t go with the flow you might as well just give it up!” We are planning a move this fall and still have not been to Costa Rica for a visit! This may sound CRAZY, but with all the wonderful on-line information and great people on this web-site, we feel that this is the place!Yes we will miss alot of this, especially the 15 grandkids, but we will all survive. Yes there is alot of unknown, but we plan to use all the agencies and free information we can. With the economy the way it has been and the ex-wife getting a large amount of the retirement this will be a great move for us.
[quote=”DavidCMurray”]Importing a car to Costa Rica has been discussed at great length in this forum. For more than you want to know, do a Search.
There is no Customs duty exemption for bringing a car to Costa Rica. There was such an exemption for many years but it was repealed about fifteen years ago.[/quote]
Thanks for the info! I will search
