Is there good bus service in Yucatan: Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Merida, etc.?
Paulina Almeida - Tao Real Estate
A good bus service in Yucatán is the combi. Combi’s are public transportation that are really safe, cheap, and can hold up to 12 people. With combi’s, there is a chauffeur to drive you back and forth. From Tulum going to Playa del Carmen, you will only pay 42 pesos ($2).
Combi’s are really safe ways to travel and have designated stops where you can get off. For example, if you take a combi from Tulum to the north, it has a...

Combi’s are really safe ways to travel and have designated stops where you can get off. For example, if you take a combi from Tulum to the north, it has a designated stop in Tulum, in Akumal, then in Porta Aventura, in Playa del Carmen, and finally in Cancun. It depends on which place you want to get off.
One of the advantages of the combi is it stays on the federal highway, and there’s not a lot of distance generally from the federal highway to where you need to go. It’s a narrow space.
Are there any English-speaking churches in Nicaragua?
Valeria Espinoza - Gran Pacifica
Yes, there are a few English-speaking churches in Nicaragua. You only have to make sure you are attending the correct schedule, since the English service may be a special service.
Some of the churches in Managua where they offer an English service are the Catholic Mass at Devine Mercy Church in Villa Fontana, the Covenant Church Inter-Denominational and the International Christian Fellowship.

How's the adventure travel and activities in and around the Panama City, Panama area of San Francisco?
Nelson Vega
The only place that you can have adventure travel in San Francisco, Panama is Parque Omar (top photo). It is a natural park in the middle of San Francisco. People go there for jogging, yoga and some go to the library. They also have a small gym. Concerts and expos are also held in Parque Omar throughout the year. Parque Omar used to be a golf course, but it is now just a massive land are of grass and trees.

Many people go to Cerro Ancon (below photo), which is a hill near the Panama Canal and the Bridge of the Americas. Cerro Ancon (10 minutes away from Panama City by car) is a forest, so people go there to walk and enjoy nature. It is also become some sort of exercise area, because you will be walking uphill. It is very common to see wild animals, such as deer and ñeque in Cerro Ancon. A ñeque looks like a capybara but much smaller. You will also see different kinds of birds in Cerro Ancon.
Where’s the best place and time to see wildlife in Belize?
Giancarlo Vega
The Cockscomb Basin (pictured to the right) would be the best place to see wildlife as the basin is also known as the jaguar reserve. So if you are here you might just see a jaguar.
The best time to see wildlife would be in the evening or at night. These tours you can do by yourself; no need for a guide.

Panama is not a place to come to die - Panama is a place to come and start living and enjoying life. You work all your life, and now you deserve to start living it. Panama offers an environment that stimulates you in so many ways, not only financially but also spiritually!
The high quality of living for a modest price available in Panama City was the subject of a news report on CNN a couple of weeks ago. Using the Economist Intelligence Unit's report, Panama was the "shining star". Panama City is listed as the most affordable capital city in the Americas, with a "plethora of top-quality, luxury experiences for cut prices". In the report, Panama`s "fastest growing economy in Latin America", and free 30-day travel insurance for tourists arriving at Tocumen International Airport were the main subjects.
Panama is fast becoming one of the world´s top retirement destinations and also a world class tourist location. With a US-style infrastructure, Panama offers an easy transition particularly for US retirees.
So why is Panama gaining in popularity among retirees, investors, and part-time expatriates? Not only because of increased publicity. Panama has more amenities, lower costs and lower crime rates than many other traditional retirement locations. In fact Panama´s advantages are unrivaled. Apart from tax advantages and privacy advantages, consider the following:
Panama has a stable government and a growing economy
The US dollar is the legal tender. Panama has a stable economy that has been based upon the US dollar since 1904
Residents pay no tax on foreign earned income.
Foreigners can buy and own property in Panama with the same rights and protections as Panamanian citizens.
PENSIONADO PROGRAM (retiree incentive program), the best in the world, is not necessarily age-related and the benefits are considerable. It is considered to be the best retirement program in the world.
English is widely spoken
The US presence in the country for many years has lead to a US style infrastructure with a number of familiar names and businesses.
Panama has a number of US-standard health care facilities and services with many US-trained English-speaking doctors available. Very good hospitals, including a John Hopkins Hospital.
Panama has a reliable communications system with fiber optic telephone lines and much of the country has ADSL internet
Panama is one of the best offshore havens in the world
The cost of living in Panama is lower than the US and much lower than Western Europe.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, PANAMA IS BEAUTIFUL!
Come to Panama to visit and you can see for yourself! You will love it!

There aren’t really hurricanes in Portugal. A couple of weeks ago, we had tremendous winds but nothing like hurricanes that you have in the States.

There aren’t really hurricanes in Portugal. A couple of weeks ago, we had tremendous winds but nothing like hurricanes that you have in the States.
We have high winds and the month of August can be very windy but not hurricanes. People are still talking about the recent high winds. If you drive up the coast, up the Sintro, which is the mountain, they have very big eucalyptus plantations that came from South Africa or Australia and they absolutely split and came crashing down, but it was quite unusual.
Along the coast in August, we may get high winds and the waves may be high but it’s not something that happens on a regular basis.

A bridge. Some hills. A river. Interesting? Taken individually, maybe not so much. But wait! If you can find all three together, then you almost have a match made in heaven. I say almost. Now if you throw in a town, then – and only then – you have attained nirvana!
To be sure, the third largest urban setting in Belize is not quite paradise. However, San Ignacio sports enough merits for city sainthood, and that will do in...
Travel is: “fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” So said Mark Twain in his 1869 travelogue titled 'Innocents Abroad.' So I'd say one thing I'm most proud of at becoming an expat is taking old Sam Clemens' advice and moving from the comfort, familiarity, and ease of home.
Utilizing the old brain cells becomes more important as we age, of course, so any assistance I can get in that department is a good thing. Professor Adam Galinsky at the...
The Metro de Panama, the first subway system in Central America, started operating on April 5. Line 1 operates from Albrook to Los Andes, with 19 trains that make stops at 12 stations. It takes only 23 minutes to travel the length of the line. Seven stations are underground and five are elevated.
Each train consists of three cars, with air conditioning, video surveillance, passenger information systems, and wheel chair accessibility. The trains also have fire safety systems...
