Thanks so much for your reply Jessica. I know you are busy and I appreciate the time you took in responding to my question. You confirmed my feelings that Colon was not a good choice for my intended relocation to Panama.
Do you have any suggestion as to a forum I can join where expats living in Panama could answer some additional questions I have. Although I am of retirement age, I still have additional income as a Florida licensed realtor. With a move to Panama, I will not have that additional income and have to live strictly on my social security income which is about $1,500 per month. Consequently, I will need to locate in a city / area where I can comfortably live on this income.
Again, thank you for your time and assistance.
Richard
