The transportation in Puerto Vallarta is very good, so you wouldn’t really need a car. Buses even go to the north. If you wanted to go take a day trip, you can take the bus. An hour to the north is Nayarit, and a bus ride to Nayarit would cost about US $5. Around town, they have plenty of regular buses, and each ride costs about $0.30 - $0.40. Taxis in Puerto Vallarta are cheap. If you’re in downtown going from one place to another, it usually costs about $3.

There are several places in El Valle de Anton to shop for food. There is a newly built shopping complex here in El Valle that is anchored by a supermarket chain that carries most of the stuff you need. So grocery-wise you can go to this shopping complex or to the Chinese stores. On the other hand, fresh produce is available at the open-air market. Hardware and building materials are also available in El Valle through three Chinese stores, one of which is just recently built. There are several places in El Valle de Anton to shop for food.

Depending on which country you plan on retiring in, you may have a public health care system available to you. You should also look into the availability and cost of a private health insurance plan for medical expenses incurred in other countries.

Usually, once you have moved to a foreign country, you're no longer eligible for Medicare benefits (although Medicare does cover residents of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands).
However, if you come back to the US, you will still receive Medicare Part A benefits. (Anyone who qualifies for Social Security, and is 65 or older qualifies under Part A.)
The voltage here in Portugal is the same as you have in the States, and unlike England where you have 3 plugs. You can take the hair drier you use in the US and plug it right into the wall in Portugal and it will work, whereas, if you take your hair drier from the US to Portugal, you will need an adapter.

Wow! You have just finished reading a local paper and you have seen 14 different 'Realtors' advertised!
How do you know which one to choose? Do you go for the one with the biggest ad ("they must be successful, right?") or the one with the nicest looking ad, or the one that has pictures of the Realtors? ("I like the look of those people. They look honest and trustworthy")
Well, my advice is, you go for the one that...
