I think we've changed our minds on this years trip, anyone been to costa rica? they have great healthcare and low cost of living, seeing as we are looking at buying some land would be best to kill two birds with one stone!

I was not uttering NONSENSE when I was paying back the IRS over the next few years
Oh! Excuse me. I thought you were commenting on the tax consequences of running a hitman-for-hire business in Costa Rica.

I visited Costa Rica about two years ago and I have to say it is still my favorite trip, and I've been to some pretty cool places from Australia to Turkey and Scotland to India. We stayed by Puntarenas/Jaco at a resort that's apparently not there anymore (per a quick google search). We spent majority of our time there on the mid-pacific coast, but there was plenty to enjoy. We did drive from the airport in San Jose out to the resort, which was kind of an adventure and a cool chance to check out the countryside. From what I saw the whole country is diverse with stuff you just don't experience state-side. The people are cool, the economy there is stable (relative to a lot of the rest of central/south america) and the accomodations are comfortable.
First and last impressions: the place is just beautiful, you just feel good when you're there. I want to encourage you, if you're already looking for property you will want a piece there. You will love it.
