Thanks for the kind words! Yes, my husband and I moved back to our tiny little hometown when we got married, so we had a lot of the same sites and stuff before moving here as well (although not living next to our parents). :) This was not on our radar even five years ago and I had never planned to live internationally (or use my Spanish) again ever, but God totally changed our plans. It does take a few months to get out of the USA mentality...eating out, conveniences around every corner, etc. It is hard to picture yourself somewhere you haven't visited. I can attest to that. My in-laws recently visited and all of them said it wasn't as bad as they pictured, but instead it was much better. One even wants to move here when he retires. It's much less scary once you get your feet on the ground and come with an open mind. If you look at it with an "I really don't want to" attitude, it's pointless to try. Ha! :) There have been people who have come and ended up hating it, so they leave (or are just very unhappy expats). It isn't for everyone, that's for sure! :) Perhaps we can convince you to come visit and find you a place to stay sometime in the future. ;)

Now THAT would be an adventure! Especially with four young children... I wonder who would do something like that? :-) God's blessings are sometimes disguised. @ironshield
I understand about the young children! Ha! When we visited in 2016, our youngest two were 1 and 3. The others were 4, 6 and 7. Kids who are younger than 2 fly free. ;)
Half of our children would fly free! Ages are 5, 3, 1 and Daniel's four months. By the way, a trip to Panama sounds wonderful. Especially right now since Spring refuses to start on time. Snow again! @ironshield
