David,
Did they deduct any money for transfering it into your CR account?
How’s the knee coming along?I agree with Bardbard on this one. GWB and his cabinet lied to the American people 935 times just in the 2 years following 9/11, which have all been proven. The Saudis are his buddies, I wouldn’t be suprised if he’s getting some kind of kick-back from them or the oil companies.
I have been using only Hess and Sunoco in the US for years, because they don’t use midde east gas.David,
I don’t know about the trim part, but I’m still fighting. That was 8 years ago. God only knows what it would cost today. I will eventually have to have the other one done, but I’m holding off as long as I can. I hope that I can get that one done in CR. Can’t afford US prices.
I hope everything goes well for you.David,
Good luck with your knee surgery. I had knee replacement surgery in the U.S., it cost me $25,000.00.SS
No one mentioned the biggest expenses of all.
1. The cost of acquiring residency, varies maybe $1000. TO $1500.USD.
2. The cost of Rentista status, depositing $60,000.USD (for 1 adult) in a Costa Rica bank to cover you for 5 years. It’s not practical to leave the country every 90 days, plus they are supposedly cracking down on that.
There is a lot more to consider then telephone service, cars and furniture.You need to do a lot more research, the majority of which can be found right on this site. Do your homework, visit and make sure CR is the right place fo you.
Good luck.Frettless
I just read in the Tico Times that American Airlines is going to start a direct flight from Ft. Lauderdale to SJO. It will be one daily flight down and back, leaving Fla. at 2:30pm and arriving around 4:30, then turning around and going back about an hour later. This may be a little more convenient than Miami.I think you will find Spirit has the lowest fares now out of Tampa or Orlando. American also has sales , but since Spirit opened the CR routes they have been very low. I checked last week for Thanksgiving week, it was $138
RT.The White House said saturday” that if Costa Ricans vote against joining U.S.-CAFTA, the Bush Administration will not renegotiate the deal”. I hope whatever was decided today was the right decision for CR.
Sounds like Arias is trying to fool the Ticos into voting for CAFTA, by telling them if CR doesn’t like it they can get out of it. That’s not how these trade agreements work. The U.S. isn’t going to let that happen.
Anyone leaving from Florida, I’ve seen flights on AA, leaving from Tampa change in Miami for $234.rt at least through Nov.
