#4 — Stroke: Medical Emergency in Panama!

Before our first cup of morning tea on February 26, 2019 in our rental house in Playa Coronado, Panama, Rich suffered a mini-stroke later diagnosed as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).

We were 90 minutes from the country’s best medical care in the top-notch private hospitals of Panama City. We wasted no time rushing to San Fernando hospital. Follow the link to listen to our story.

#3 - Christmas Eve Fire in our Costa Rican Casita

We were hoping for low-key, year-end holidays. Instead, we battled a homegrown fire — on Christmas Eve! Nothing a little recovery time by our pool didn’t cure — along with two weeks of nursing Paul’s minor burns. Sadly now, our three-month visit to Costa Rica is ending. But included are nuggets on two reasonably priced Costa Rican properties we rented — one, a killer cabina near playa Bejuco with a pool for less than $50 per night and, the other, a modern two-bedroom with a balcony and a stunning view of wind-swept Lake Arenal (near Tronodora/Tilaran) for less than $40 per night. Medical tourism, our upcoming travel to Panama and more. Have a listen.

We Skyped with our friend Nancy in Oregon USA and told her the story of our first 72 hours in Costa Rica. Unexpectedly, we had an immediate change of plans that saved us thousands of dollars! And we met a couple incredible people who changed our three months here. All in the first 72 hours!
