Andy,
you going to walk us through this, how you accomplish each task?
Example - task 1 was accomplished this way
Task 2 - i did this to find out the needed info.
Sounds like a plan, let us know how you execute it.
Regards,
John

Andy, you'd really dislike Utila for anything more than a weekend... unless you actually plan to learn to SCUBA. Just for the party + diving youth.

Hi Andy, This is what I do, also. Maybe most experienced travelers end up doing this after awhile?

After I retired 3 years ago, I had a traveling stint for about a year but after that, with some experience under my belt and exposure to some nice places (for instance traveling through a country and finding what and where I liked), ended up doing serial country living (this also includes the USA for me a couple of months per year). I also learned a lot about travel from you.

It is a lot cheaper than constant traveling, too. You can make real local friends and you feel like you have a base to return to. Now that I have an apartment with a kitchen in Colombia, I have a new rule that says that you don't really know the culture until you have bought groceries and cooked for some time in that place.

I actually would like to stay longer in some places but the visa issue raises its ugly head so sometimes this issue alone *requires* serial country living.

I found the missing link (HOBO) http://tinyurl.com/Hobotwin

PS Grenada,Nicaragua is wonderful.Safe,plenty of farangs, cheap if you want it to be, good internet, a little gambling to pass the time, nice architecture from 1500-1700's that can take you a week to look at. If curious.

Grenada closes a bit early for Chuck WoW but helps the liver recuperate from Mekhong Thai whiskey.

I am looking for a little house on one of the many islands, on the lake, to rent for a month or so or lake front, so when your there please enquirer about HOBO prices... thanks

I love the concept of sequential country living! I have always enjoyed slow travel and like taking the time to get to know a place. It sounds like your system is just a graduation from that.
