I will be visiting Costa Rica in May 2008. But my research indicates that 40% of retirees have difficulty adjusting and return to the U.S. within two years. What are the reasons to dislike Costa Rica, or not adjust?? Thanks for the info. I have been reading about all the great reasons why retirees should relocate to Costa Rica.

It’s another expatriate destination that is generally more popular with British Commonwealth citizens than Americans because of historical colonial presence in the region (although Thailand itself was never colonized, nearby countries were). There aren’t as many Americans heading out there for several reasons.

You might be thinking of one of other web sites linked from here (they're all by other people, many of whom haved lived there for quite awhile). Hey Gordon,
