Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all on forum.

Also used book exchange at Pato Loco cabinas/restarant. They are on left coming into Coco on main road just past mall where BCR is. Also Coco Palms hotel/restaurant down by park/beach. Turn left near beach at soccer field & you will see straight ahead.

The coffee shop at las palmas here in Coco is a drop off for books. People take,read & return. Will let you know where others are as there are more places.

Went Florida in Sept. on AA. Economy the 1st checked bag $25. So not free if economy.

The only start of topic besides the title that I see is that no other opinions will be tolerated. Why post a topic is no other opinions are wanted. Then I say remove this thread.

This article from Elections Canada says be 18 years age & live in Canada anytime before the election. http://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=reg/etr&document=index〈=e

I have no complaint about paying the CAJA monthly fee. It is a bargain for sure.

Remember that to cut down a tree in Costa Rica requires a permit. I also think a poor time to do this with the flooding situation in other parts of the country. At least you have a road while many in flooded areas don't.

I always refer to myself as legal immigrant/guest in Costa Rica. Expat was not a word in my vocabulary. I first heard this word reference from an American so thought it was an american thing. So that word never comes to my mind when referring to myself. I don't mind which word immigrant or expat people use. I shall stick to immigrant. I hear many people with no residency referring to themselves as expats which does fit "living out of their homeland". i prefer legal immigrant for myself as more defined than expat. Only my personal opinion.

I have tico friend ,my tico caretaker/security & a Holland friend/neighbor who is permeant resident that all have the info for who to contact if i can't speak for myself. They have family phone numbers,my medical CAJA number,passport #,cedilla number,little medical history that is important like rare blood type & allergies,etc. They also have key to get in in an emergency. I have had this set up since living here for 4 1/2 years. My family in turn has their info & knows who they are in case they call.

Paul It is an actual photo of our Playa del Coco beach. My son doctored it up.

I found there were stores with just about anything you want. I looked around a lot But didn't really go for shopping. did buy camera,clothes,etc. There was lots of choice. easy to get around,lots places to eat. lots malls but I liked Albrook Shopping mall price wise from cheaper up . Some malls were too expensive for my taste. www.albrookmall.com/

How about shopping in Panama City?

"Noticed". does that mean you asked them? You know for a fact they are single?
