No pets thank goodness.

Thanks for all the information. @GV Jack, the article was great. If I remember correctly I get our visas on the Mexico side, to the right?.

Since RP is in the economic free zone, is there a fee for the car based on the year? Anything I need a heads up on at the military checkpoints?

Greetings, We are heading down to RP in just a few short months. I just want to know what to expect. I think I have read everything possible but want to hear it from you guys. Is everything clearly marked to get to RP? How many of you have been stopped and searched? Have any of you had...

For those who ride, what is the best type for neighborhood and beach riding?

I have been homeschooling for several years so I don't use an out of the box all in one curriculum. I have changed depending on what I see working. What is the age of your child, it is easier to make suggestions that way. Also, are you secular or not, that helps a little too. Feel free to PM me...

I did think there would be a problem crossing but you never know. We need to buy some new ones so I didn't know if there were some places there to buy or is it best to buy them in the us.

Just a question, should we bring bicycles with us, or is there a place to buy them there? Will it be a problem crossing the boarder with them on a bike rack?

@MIRAMAR-That is good to know. We had a saltwater pool and it was great for eczema but we weren't in a dry climate so the allergies were still horrible. He is miserable 24/7 so I am hoping our move gives him some relief. Are there a lot of places to buy fresh seafood off the piers/docks?

I think I will be able to handle the heat. My husband lived in the Middle East a while, so he should be good and my DS will adapt. I am hoping the climate will help his allergies and eczema.

Do most people get a tourist visa or a temporary resident visa? @kea: I was hoping that was the case on the weather, glad to hear.

I meant to ask about the electrical outlets. Is PP on the same system as the us or do we need to get some type of converter?

Well, never visited. Yes, I know sounds weird. We made the decision to move out of the country and we are doing it. We had a lot of places on out list, did research and narrowed it down. Yes, being close to the u.s. will be nice if needed. We would rather rely on the local community rather...

No, not hiding from anything, just a change. We like farming but, wanted something else. We weren't happy with the town. I think it is also a good age for my son, not to young, just old enough. We actually looked at Uruguay and Belize. We ended up deciding on RP we wanted a relax lifestyle plus...

Thanks Roberto. That is what is was kind of assuming. We were just afraid to get a place in town not knowing the area. We plan on really researching the area and hang with locals during our time. yes, we plan on living off his pension. We live really simply and plan to continue that. I guess...

My husband is retired military, 23 years and we are debt free. We had a small organic farm.

Do the expats in the area have any meet and greet type gatherings?

We close on our farm July 1st. We had a great homestead here but the area was lacking. On to something new.

We are hoping it will be a good experience. I think the heat is something we will get used to eventually, or at least I hope. We just want to make sure we are making the right move. It is sounding better knowing there are plenty of kids around.

I am originally from South Texas and my husband is from New York. We haven't really found a place to settle yet. RP sounds great. We really want to make sure our son gets plenty of socialization other then mom and dad.
