    [quote=”DavidCMurray”]Think about the physical stuff you’ll want here — household goods, tools, a vehicle, etc. Start cleaning out the stuff you won’t bring and acquiring the things that’ll be difficult to find or expensive here. Plan to ship a container, so start making contacts with container shippers based in Costa Rica.[/quote]
    I brought an entire wood shop and metal working shop and a 1980 Datsun pickup but we gave up some of the household furnishings we should have brought. Our 40′ container cost between $9,000 and $10,000 door to door. We paid $160 per month to store our goods until we closed on the house but brought the pickup out immediately for transportation.

    Great responses from you and David. Any suggestions of reputable shippers based in CR? Thank you,

    It seems imminent the dollar will consistently devalue over the next few years. I’ve read about big investors changing a good part of their portfolios to Euros. And American executives insisting in being paid in Euros. Besides the Euro, gold, and a house in CR. What is a good hedge against the dollar? Thank you,

    How about all of the US citizens in the US who need operations and can not afford them, have no insurance, lost their jobs…is our military giving them Humanitarian Aid??? Are their needs any less??? It is their tax dollars that are floating these ships.[/quote]

    To add. What about the 9/11 volunteers who were refused medical treatment in the US and Michael Moore took them to Cuba.

    Terrence. You should write a book about these series and sell it. I am sure it will sell well in the USA and CR. Best of luck!
