Altos Del Maria: Live
In A Garden In The Mountains Of Panama - The temperature
is 75 degrees, there is no humidity, I can see for hundreds of miles, out
over the oceans, both oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific, there are flowers
and trees everywhere, two rivers, hiking trails, dozens of creeks, beautiful
houses, |
excellent neighbors, paved roads, electricity,
telephone, internet connections, Direct TV, pine trees, waterfalls, a heliport,
and I'm 20 minutes by car from the beach and 20 minutes from a golf course.

On San Cristobal - Teak & Noni Plantations - Visiting
The Bocas Del Toro Teak & Noni Plantations - Caribbean
Water Front Land In Bocas Del Toro For $6,300 An Acre That Yields A 20-30%
Cash Return. Jim Swann, Co-founder of International Real Estate Digest

can be used for buildings, including a residence. All of the plantations
in the Bocas del Toro area have waterfront."
Dental
Work In Mexico - Getting
New Choppers On The Cheap ~ By Mexicojerry - One of the things
that I noticed almost as soon as I left the U.S. and started to live abroad
was that dental care was less expensive overseas. Though not always as
painless as the dental care in the U.S. and sometimes with strange quirks,
overseas dentistry, especially in Latin America, was excellent and cheap.
I have met a lot of people from the U.S. who fly south to Latin America
just to have their dental work done because it saves them money. What do
you think?
Following My Heart To Heidiland - Inside
The Landscape Of A Famous Movie ~ By Maxine Schur - The movie
Heidi
is
burned into the imagination of many people. The story of an orphaned girl
who through circumstance ends up living with her unhappy grandfather is
played out in the mountains and flowers and green valleys of the Swiss
Alps. And that landscape to many people is the trigger that sets off the
emotions that the movie transmitted to them as a child. Never saw the movie,
but the landscape must have made the emotions especially beautiful. |

Dubai: A Jewel In The Middle East - A
Modern City On The Persian Gulf ~ By Maura Madigan - Dubai is
an Islamic state that is open to the modern world. From what I know
of Dubai it is a playground for the rich from the more conservative states
in the Islamic world. What can't be done at home can be done in Dubai.
That would make it something like what Lebanon was to the Islamic world
in the 1950s and 60s. Lebanon in the 1950s and 60s was suppose to have
been one of the places in the world where the partying was always at fever
pitch. Is this true of Dubai? The above article gives some hints.

+On The
Pacific Coast Of Panama - Traveling
Through The Mountains And Beaches Of Panama ~ By Matthew Atlee
- It's Summer in Panama and everyone is headed to the beach. Very soon
Carnival will be here and people will let loose and enjoy the freedom that
comes with Carnival. The Pacific Coast is the place to go for Carnival
in Panama. If you are headed to Panama for Carnival go to Los Santos and
visit the beaches at Pedasi or Venado. Better yet, drive to the interior
of Los Santos and find a small village in which to enjoy the summer breezes
and strings of Christmas tree lights that blow across the streets of Los
Santos during Carnival nights. Anyway, enjoy.

Finding
A Job At The UN - Learning
Where To Look For A Job In The UN ~ By: Michele Ann Jenkins - The
UN from my experience is a very hard organization to find a job in. Many
of the jobs inside the UN are advertised only within the UN itself. And
that is the key to finding a job with the UN: knowing someone who can tell
you when job openings are posted. Living in Geneva and working in the Palace
des Nations and handling the kinds of problems that the UN faces on a daily
basis must be stimulating. Learn through the above article how to find
a job in the UN and what its like when you finally land a job in an organization
that may maintain the peace.

Stranded
On Mt. Erebus - An
Antarctic Adventure ~ By Keith C. Dreher - The idea of going
to Antarctica has always fallen for me somewhere between visiting another
planet and getting locked inside a deep-freezer at an ice cream factory.
It must be interesting to visit a place on earth that is still stateless
and has a very highly educated population. The above article gives you
an idea about what an adventure would feel and look like if you ever had
the chance to go to Antarctica.

Memories Of Cuapa - Passing
Through The Interior Of Nicaragua ~ By Benjamin Murphy - Passing
through a landscape rich in mysticism and stories is what you often find
when you travel in Latin America. The surreal is an everyday occurrence
and it makes traveling an exciting experience. Crying trees, mountains
with donkeys on top of them and glowing statues of saints are all part
of people's everyday lives.

Mustique: The Caribbean's Best Kept Secret - A
Private Hideaway In The Caribbean ~ By Heather Prince - The
island of Mustique in the Grenadines is known as one of the most exclusive
hideaways in the Caribbean. This is the place where Mick Jagger and people
with that kind of money come to get away from it all. The island was home
to the Caribe and Arawak Indians and then in the early 18th century became
a cotton colony. The cotton dried up and the island was more or less abandoned
until the 20th century. Funny how Caribbean history can unfold.

San
Pedro de Atacama - Adventures
In The Atacama Desert And The Bolivian Altiplano ~ By Justin Marshall
- One of the trips that I have made that still sticks in my memory
was the bus ride from Arica, Chile to La Paz, Bolivia. Probably the reason
I remember it so well was by the time we reached the Bolivian border I
could hardly think or move due to the altitude change: from sea-level to
18,000 feet in a couple of hours. I remember getting out of the bus to
give my documents to the customs agent at the border and looking around
and seeing Bolivians wondering around a completely mud-brown landscape
and off in the distance a glacer slowly melted into a perfect clear lagoon.
But you couldn't enjoy it because your head throbbed and your extremities
were numb.

Torn Between Two Lovers - Thoughts
On San Francisco And Bali ~ By Robin Sparks - Robin Sparks writes
about some of her experiences in Bali and what it felt like to return to
the US after the bombings in Indonesia. She talks about some of the changes
that have taken place in the U.S. since she left and what life might be
like in Bali and San Francisco. She talks with some expats about what someone
should expect when they relocate overseas: how will the conflicting demands
of wanting things from home cross with the new enviroment of living overseas.
