Nicaragua
Did you know you can live like a king...or maybe at least like a corupt city official there for like 500 bucks a month...or less? Yeah, sure it's hot...and I'd have to learn some Spanish, but....
I'm telling you kids, if this year goes as badly as I think it could, this may just be where you'll find ol' Uncle Kel this time next year. I'm not generally for running away form the fan as the crap hits it. I'm usually more likely to fall back, regroup and attack the problems. But I'm feeling spread too thin...working too many "fronts" at the same time. You know what they say about a man and his limitations...and picking battles. Starting to feel like it's time to cut my losses in about five different areas and chose a couple fights I think I might have a shot at winning. Tilting at all these windmills is just wearing the old man down. And, hey, if my friend with the property down there gets his place built by then, he's talking about getting hi-speed satelite internet...I could still do some lettering gigs.
Anybody know of a good set of CDs for learning Spanish? :D

It's actually pretty safe and stable these days. Don't know that they LOVE Americans but they don't have any special hatred for them. There's also a noticable European and American Ex-patriot community down there. Bars and restaurants where you can go hang out with other folks you might have a little more in common with than the average local.
My friend has been there several times, so have his parents....and his sister lived there for several years. The parent own a coffe plantation now and my freind will be building a place on that land and the parents might be building a B-n-B there as well.
Sweet, dude. If internet is possible, I might just have to do that. Live richly off lettering one book a month? Get outta here! ;o)
Seriously. Keep me posted. I've been watching "Survivorman" I could do it.
