The restaurants in Puerto Vallarta are varied. Of course, we're always told not to eat at taco stands, but now we have such great taco stands. Usually, these taco stands are run by housewives who started their own businesses. Everything is fresh and there are very few problems with food poisoning or other food issues. These taco stands open in the evening and stay open until four or five in the morning. .png)
There are lakes and beaches, of course, in Coronado, Panama. I do not think there’s a river or a waterfall. 
You can also go to Altos del Maria from Coronado, which is a little bit further, but still close enough. Altos del Maria is about 25 minutes from Coronado. To get there, you go up to the mountains, so you could go from the coast (which is where Coronado is), and then your drive your car uphill. Altos del Maria is a gated, mountain community. Inside that community, you will find rivers, waterfalls and mountains. You can see both Pacific and Atlantic Ocean from one of the highest points in Altos del Maria, where there is a lookout. 
A lot of different holidays are celebrated in Ambergris Caye and in Belize in general. They celebrate most of the British holidays like the Sovereign Day, Labor Day, and your classic holidays like Easter.
No, if you move or visit Portugal, you do not have to worry about diseases that are typical in tropical countries, which is not the case in Portugal. Although the climate is hotter than in most European countries, Portugal has a temperate climate (it has the same latitude as Virginia or Maryland), which does not allow such diseases to exist. There are no medical restrictions or warnings for travel to Portugal. 
My wife and I have lived in two of the most publicized retirement locations, Panama and Colombia. One of the most important things we've learned about the culture, and this applies to both countries, is that we're wealthy gringos. That seems obvious, but there have been interesting, sometimes disheartening implications in this. Compared to the average Colombian, for example, we are fabulously wealthy. In the top 1%, without question. These folks' average monthly income is...
I believe that the standard of living in San Juan Del Sur for the average Nicaraguan is a bit of a struggle just like anywhere else in the country. Although, living close to the ocean, in a beach community, and with a lot of American influence has changed their standard of living considerably. So, I wouldn’t say that the life of Nicaraguans here is a struggle, but living in such a nice place like San Juan Del Sur and finding new opportunities with tourism and foreigners, I would...The Benefits of Being Bilingual
Ok, so I’m British, and for me it is all about good manners, I was coming to live in a Spanish speaking country, so the least I could do was to learn the language! “How hard could it be?” I asked myself!
Well, when my family and I started this adventure back in 2012, we took Spanish lessons every time we visited Panama, because right from the start, it was apparent that English was not widely spoken and if we were to live here, we really needed to be able to communicate! Of...

While I'm not a big cigar user, I like to visit one of the newest attractions in Nicaragua. We have, in the years past, driven all the way to Esteli to purchase cigars for resale or for gifts to my golf buddies back in the states. And my son Josh gets some real mileage when he produces a handful of freshly rolled Nicaraguan tobacco to his golf friends. So I'm always on the hunt for new product.
