Tranquillo Day

-

 Knowing I had a full travel day ahead, I opted to spend yesterday at the pool and managed a little sunburn and a lot of relaxation. US culture has me so wound up though that I think it's going to take a LONG time to get truly relaxed. 



My hosts invited me out to dinner last night. They eat late, because their salon doesn't close until 8 p.m., so we arrived around 9, and the place was full. It's like an indoor food truck food court. Individual trucks are parked in a circle, with tables and a bar in the center, and a permanent roof over the whole thing. A brilliant idea! We met some of my hosts' friends there, where we talked and laughed, drank margaritas, ate delicious homemade food, and had a great time. 





But now I'm sitting at Gate 20 at the San Jose airport, waiting for my flight to Bogota. It's another long travel day: Bogota, Quito and then Cuenca, and I have to change planes both times and also pick up my luggage in Quito and then check it again for Cuenca.

I've had enough of America

I'm done with the United States of America. Our kids are graduating from high school but aren't able to read and write or do basic math. People can't even count back change--they rely on the computer to do that for them. Our roads and bridges are crumbling. Rent keeps going up. In 2020, my rent for a one-bedroom apartment here in Las Vegas was $1100 a month. Now, just a little over 2 years later, it's $1700 a month. In 2021, car payments averaged about $600 in Nevada. The average now is about $800 a month. The cost of health care is forcing people into bankruptcy. A family of four will pay an average of $1600 a month for health insurance, and about another $400 for dental insurance. And even with that coverage, they are usually still responsible for a percentage of the hospital bill, anywhere from 20 percent to 80 percent. There are tens of thousands of homeless people in every large city in America, and that number is growing every day. Our police won't stop killin...

Why Ecuador?

-
It's taken about 10 years for me to realize that my quality of life in my native country--the United States of America--is quite poor and getting poorer, and that I have zero chance of being able to retire comfortably here, especially after COVID ate up all my savings. So I knew that I needed to take some kind of drastic action, and sooner rather than later. So that's what I did, and after a year of research, I determined that living abroad is the answer for me. But which country? On the list was Belize, Canada, Mexico (specifically Ajijic), Thailand (Chang Mai), Ecuador and Costa Rica. I considered things like weather, ease of visa application and income requirements, crime and safety, land ownership, politics and government, public transit and walkability, among others. I whittled them down one by one. Mexico was out due to the crazy cartel violence that's out of control there. Canada was out because the visa requirements are too stringent, and, of course, brrr. Belize wa...
