I thought I’d ask all of you if that posting schedule is convenient for you, or if something else would make it easier for Continue reading Post-It When? About 500 people are gathered in Quito, Ecuador right now for International Living‘s Ultimate Event 2010. They’re learning about life in a bunch of countries where it’s possible to live well on $2,000 a month or less. Can’t be there with them?

This weekend, my widely scattered family has gathered to hold a memorial service. Coming from all up and down the East Coast, from Florida in the South Continue reading A Virtual Moment of Silence Kathleen Peddicord of Live and Invest Overseas revisited Nicaragua recently, and had some interesting comparisons between Nicaragua and Panama.
