Everything changes and nothing changes. The virus is faster and smarter than the peeple.
But today active cases are going down, which means more people are recovering than getting sick. New cases...

Cheer up, the flu rate is down!!!
Covid will be with us forever. Public health measures will be permanent but seasonal and local, not nationwide.

Last time a crossed the CR border they asked for proof of forwarding passage. Not a problem if you are heading for airport and have copy of ticket with you. I've been screwed or almost screwed in 3...

Heard from 2 sources that US passport holders can enter CR by land with covid insurance. and probably forwarding ticket.
Nicas waiting on visas which should open up soon. Visas/ insurance/return...

As one relative explained it years ago :L.A. isn't a home town anymore, its just a place for foreigners to make money then take their money and leave.'

The ones that do aren't talking about it.

Last week we were in the country. The had a religious procession, about 50 people with a substantial police escort to protect them from the drunk drivers. My wife went to the mass in the little...

I noticed the same thing in small town AZ. Housing prices out of reach of local workforce, with retirees often having higher incomes than full-time workers. Prices pumped up by demand and outside...

After seeing the riots in miami on the news I expect a repeat of the xmas massacre with a big covid spike in mid-april. Maybe in CR and Nic, too. not as bad as Jan because of the warm weather, but...

Took a spin thru Yali leaving La Pelota in Esteli. Road to San Rafael the usual--decent adoquin country road with too many drivers in a big hurry. San Rafael lack of pride of ownership/ deferred...

That's the problem. Living here is like having a part time job except you pay the other guy instead of them paying you.

Best bet: rent, hire a maid, guard, driver so you can relax.

HJMOG, rt san jose to vegas in april 360 usd!

I think it is only Mex land borders closed and only to tourists. Must be a dog and pony show trying to convince them that you are an "essential" travel type.

CR border has been open to CR...

And they have airplanes in Mexico, you know, the kind that flies!
My hit list for one-weekers is CDMX, Puebla, Merida. Never did Copper Canyon, it's been on my list for 50 years.

Wife keeps complaining about the cost of living but I pay no heed. What am I going to do, move us to the Canaries and retire?
