Anyone in Panama besides @woodchuck

Cool. How you like it?
Have you been to the Yacht Tower (residential condo building shaped like a yacht)?
How you like the fish market? Loved getting pargo there
I LOVE the mercado de pescado! I only go on the days I'm cooking fish. It's great to walk down there and grab shit that just came off the boat. I have a relationship with one of the fish mongers and I have my shrimp guy. I get tres libres of jumbo shrimp for $10. I order in Spanish, and they respond in English. The Yacht Tower is a 3 minute walk from me on Avenida Balboa. We didn't want to live around a bunch of expats, so we live in a neighborhood called Calidonia. 20% of it is touristy and the other 80% is considered the "hood". Two blocks behind my building is where the "independent contractors" work. I'm not gonna lie, some of those bitches are fine! A lot of them are from Venezuela. As for how I like it, I have NO intentions of coming back to the States.

Live your life! Do it for all those that may not be able due to limitations ($$$).

I'm seriously considering selling my house & land and moving abroad & starting over.
I just turned 45, no girl, no kids, just three dogs and a business.
I've wanted a family for years and been working to have one, but the harder I work, the more I plan, the more it escapes me.
I'm honestly starting to ask myself, "Why you want something so much that doesn't want you?"

At least abroad I'll have the weather, the sights, live close to water, and a lower cost of living to give me peace of mind and less stress.

Damn @ that last sentence. Nice to hear you’re doing well. I’m on my final 4 years to retirement. I could retire today but I can’t do it , psychologically.

A majority of the time, I live in Aruba. Definitely broaden your horizons. You hustled for a reason.

I totally get the last sentence. I'm still adjusting to it. We both are. It's hard to wrap your mind around the fact that, the only thing you have to accomplish, is just living. It's going to take a minute.
