RE: [Liveaboard] Lovely Japan Norm,
You have met me wife though :D And we will be going there on 10/31 to see the inlaws and start the marketing campaign. And before pointing fingers, look at the US and there History too. The Indians Reservations etc... is a good example. Or how about the detention camps for the Japanese during WW2? N.Y.

Someone once said that the true nature of a person (or culture) is how they treat people when they have absolute power over them. If this is so, then the Japanese have got to be near the bottom of the bell curve.

Belize has a retirment visa.. as does Costa Rica.. many of the central american countries do not allow a non citizen to own property.. do your research before you go down on a perm basis...Me, I am gonna go harass old people in florida and make more forays south... until they drag me kicking and screaming to the nursing home... of course my 90 yr old mom is a major factor in my decision.. she is doing great. Still lives at home,does her own housework.. in great health.. I will probably die before she does.. lol fair winds.. On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 6:14 AM, David Miller wrote: Belize.

First choice locally: Dominican Republic and a few other islands in the Carib; Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala. Some swear by South America. Don't discount: Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar/Burma, Cambodia, and Vietnam too. India's not too bad, Sri Lanka's nice. Guam is real nice but there's competition for space. That written, you can hang out in the Mariana's hitting Guam as/when necessary. The health care in Asia is, in many respects, equivalent to the US. Guam is a US territory. The weather is far better in SE Asia than in SE US or Carib. Running with the monsoon's you can hang out in the Pacific/South China Sea or the Andaman Sea/Indian Ocean. I prefer Asia over the Caribbean.
