What's the closest airport to Los Cabos - La Paz, Mexico and what are the flights to and from Los Cabos - La Paz, Mexico?
Pepe Acosta - Ventanas Hotel and Residences
There is an international airport in San Jose del Cabo, where there are direct flights from other parts of Mexico and the United States such as California and Texas. There are also Canadians who come from that airport. If you are going to Los Cabos, it is more common to arrive at the San Jose del Cabo airport.
There is another airport in Cabo San Lucas, but is more for private planes. There is a third airport in La Paz.

The local government of Los Cabos is working on getting more direct flights from different cities in the United States for an easier way to access Los Cabos.

Well... in my case I had little choice- my preferred country, Australia has become too expensive for me so I had to find somewhere that made my meager pension and savings go further. The argument that everywhere else is as costly as 'home' is false.
Originally my motivations were better prospects, warmer weather that cured my chest infections and a better future for my kids. These are universal motivations, surely? Therefore I find some...

Originally my motivations were better prospects, warmer weather that cured my chest infections and a better future for my kids. These are universal motivations, surely? Therefore I find some of the comments a bit wide of the mark.
Besides that, I felt I had become a burden to my 'family' and this would get worse, meaning I'd be ever more dependent. At 70 this was not an option. The ME age has been hard for most older people. So I live in exile, really- and I'm not alone in this.
How high are the mountains in Nicaragua, and how does the elevation change the weather?
Carla Fjeld - Ola Verde SA
Nicaragua has lowlands on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts and highlands with mountains in between. In the highlands, elevations range from 750 to 1,000 meters (about 2,500 feet to 3,000 feet) and there are mountain peaks ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 meters (5,900 feet). These are the famous coffee lands. The weather is distinct in each of the zones, Caribbean coast being very rainy and warm, and the mountainous highlands with cooler temperatures in the 60's at night and 70's...

These are the famous coffee lands. The weather is distinct in each of the zones, Caribbean coast being very rainy and warm, and the mountainous highlands with cooler temperatures in the 60's at night and 70's during the day. Another way the highland peaks change the weather is by preventing some of the moisture-laden air from the Caribbean coast from reaching the Central highlands and Pacific coast, so these are both somewhat drier areas than the Caribbean coast.
How's the surf and surfing in and around Boquete, Panama?
Oscar Peña - Mucho Gusto Panama
Hello friend!
In Boquete there is no surf because is up in the mountains. The good news is Boquete super close to the Pacific ocean where you can have great surfing in a one day adventure!
There is options to hire a private guide with transportation and rent a surf board if you are traveling very light
I hope this answer is helpful for you :)

What are the expats like in Cayo, Belize, including San Ignacio and Belmopan?
Roberto Harrison - Chaa Creek
Most of the expats in Cayo are between their 40s and 70s. Most of them are very laid back and they just came to Belize to retire and have a good time. There are other expats who come to Belize with plans of retiring but I guess sometimes you just can’t keep still or stay home and just relax so they open some businesses or they join different investments. Some expats partner with Belizeans who have local knowledge and the expats provide the capital to back it up.

The expats in Cayo are very amicable and very nice. They try to blend in with the community as well. The expats here in Cayo are a mix of Americans and Canadians. I have not seen a lot of Europeans or South Americans here but the Belize Tourism Board is working towards those markets at the moment. We will probably see an influx of them coming in to Belize in the next 10 years or so.

I think a woman would be better placed to respond to how women and girls are treated in Portugal, but I suppose I can provide a perspective. Women are generally respected in Portugal and having lived abroad for so many years and observing Portugal, I see a fondness for matriarchs that is perhaps not present in many Western countries. A particular concern for those visiting the country is whether women are safe – in a sense related to a sense of how women may be perceived –...
I think a woman would be better placed to respond to how women and girls are treated in Portugal, but I suppose I can provide a perspective. Women are generally respected in Portugal and having lived abroad for so many years and observing Portugal, I see a fondness for matriarchs that is perhaps not present in many Western countries. A particular concern for those visiting the country is whether women are safe – in a sense related to a sense of how women may be perceived – when visiting Portugal. I would have to say that it is one of the safest countries with which I have been associated, and in particular women can freely walk at night without substantially greater fear than men.
Women have historically had very traditional roles in Portuguese culture, namely those associated with providing a core stability of the family unit. This has unfortunately meant that tasks such as cooking, raising children, and matters relating to managing a household, are automatically associated with the mother and therefore changing this has been difficult. However, my perception is that the biggest catalyst for change is the workplace. Despite the balance still being far in favour of males in senior positions, there are many talented women who have proved their worth by choosing careers where the glass ceiling is less in evidence. Medical careers, including nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and medicine, pharmacy, life sciences and to a certain extent teaching, have propelled women into more senior roles in business, R&D and education, for example. This has not happened in engineering, politics or construction, which continue to be male-dominated. I would say however, that women are no more likely to be treated poorly in the workplace than are men, and ironically my perception is that supervision by the opposite sex often results in better people management in Portugal than being managed by someone of one’s own sex.
Of course, I am happy to admit that I may have it all wrong as regards how women are truly perceived in the workplace… what I can say is that most traditional corporate environments in Portugal still expect men to work long hours whenever necessary and place much less emphasis on the importance of a male family role than, for example, many Anglo-Saxonic countries.
From an interview with Armando Contreras, July 7, 2016
Jet: Your real estate office and home are in the little, beach side town of Lo de Marcos, in Nayarit, about an hour north of Puerto Vallarta. Please tell us about Lo de Marcos
Armando: The first time I saw Lo de Marcos, it was empty, but it had so much charm and was such a welcomed change from crowded and overbuilt places I had been living, that I liked it so much, I...
As you meander through the village of Boquete you would have to be blind not to notice the beautiful Latin faces. Handsome men and boys; beautiful women and girls, precious babies coming and going up and down the streets each day. The Indian women in their brightly colored dresses; children in school uniforms; teenagers wearing the fashionable logos and labels they love. Even the poorest people are very clean, (unless they are working or just running errands while working.)
Panamá has always been a country with warm and friendly people who welcome all nationalities. It has also been a place of transit since the 15th century, when visitors came with gold from Perú to Spain. Later, with the construction of the Panamá Canal (considered one of the Eight Wonders of the World), workers from all the world wanted to be part of this great mega-project.
