Hello,
This is my first post to EXpat-Panama. I have researching Ecuador for over a year as a potential semi-retirement destination. One aspect of my research that I can't get comfortable with is that I can't find any beautiful beaches there that would compare to the beaches I have found in the Caribbean. A friend told me to look at the East Coast of Panama. I spent the weekend looking at sites and youtube videos of Bocas del Toro. I love the beaches in that area. So, now I want to learn more about the weather, roads, nearness to health care and everything else. What would be the nearest International Airport I would need to fly into from Miami? How reasonable is the drive from the airport to the east coast? Are there organized ex-pat groups on the east coast? Is there any American type developments that are already established on the east coast? And everything else....
Thank you for your responses!
