I am searching for a place to retire to in 4 years. I have lived out of the country before and don't have the ties here ( kids etc ) that would make it hard to leave. I would be living as a single woman with my 2 cats. Living alone was one reason why I did not feel comfortable with Mexico. I would like to be if possible free from t he hassle of a car and would appreciate walking into town etc. I am open to suggestion etc. I am still wondering what are I need to look into that may be close to shopping and the water. Thank you all for any help or suggestions.
