    Muchas gracias para la informacion. Hablo espanol solomente un poco a este tiempo. Whew- I had 5 years in secondary school and really looking forward to picking it up again. But that sentence is likely funny to a tico! I went on George’s site and notice his extended tour takes you into the central region and into the central pacific area. What is the nature of living on/nearer the Nicoya Peninsula or closer to the beach areas there? I am curious as to why the tour does not take folks into the upper pacific/beach area? Our eventual plan may be our boys moving out with us- and being in an area where they could get work in the touristy area( after permanent residency/citizenship of course). I have heard that Atenas, Tambor, Puntarenus areas are nice, yet the tour doesn’t go near those places- anything worth knowing why on that? We would really like to see that area as well. Being within 30 minutes of the beach is one thing on our wish list, and fishing is also big.

    Also- I recall reading somewhere that there is a government program that would hire non-citizens with specialties that meet their environmental initiative programs needs. But not sure what that means. Anyone else have a lead on that? Curious as I may have something to contribute to the country in that way.

    All this literature also says this big road/highway is going to be built in 2009- was it? and a new airport? where is that going? would be a sin to live in the jungle right in the flight path of an airport. OK- yes I was the kid always raising my hand in class. Sorry for all the questions- yes I think the Tour will be able to answer them. I will bring our list. I need to look around more on the internet as well, except I am skeptical on what I read- would rather hear it first hand from those who would know. OK- January 2, 27 degrees here in Southeast Pennsylvania-wish I was there.

    I am also a newbie to this forum, having just joined this evening. I got a smart smack in the face as I read every single entry of this thread, although I had read these same things in the past. I started by researching and reading three years ago, and just renewed my interest because I am so fed up with us Americans… and reading about Escuza- that was the last place I would ever pick to be as well. I know my husband’s and my next step is to visit, and I am assuming this George Lundquist is the way to start out to see if we really want to proceed on this path?

    Also , in “The Planning” part- what is a good resource to use to identify what it really will cost to live there? Thanks- and Happy New Year to you all.
