If you have some questions, do not hesitate to ask

Hi Merrill,

You sound like a person who could answer many if not all of my questions.
I am an American, at retirement age, and my wife (she is Filipina) are very
Interested in the Medellin area because of the climate, and hopefully a lower
cost of living than here in the states. I think I saw in one of your earlier posts
that you are from Texas. We are from San Antonio.

Here are some of my questions:
- living in a small town like where you are, is it necessary to have a car?
- I have a serious eye condition and need to have annual check ups by a
retina specialist. In your opinion would Medellin offer that quality/level of
Medical care?
- what level of TV & Internet service is available and what would they cost?
- ditto for cell phone service?
- what would you say the cost of living there would run, say compared to the Dallas area?

I might add that my wife & and I live a simple life, with the exceptions being Internet, TV & cell,
and we would be on a budget of about $2000 per month. Does that sound doable?
Of course security is very important to us, and any comments you might have about it would be
much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jim
