Even though I live in south Florida, we do have some cold weather here in the winter months. Last winter we had consistent temperatures for a week or more down into the 40's. Now, I know this isn't cold for most people, but it is for me.
I've been thinking of spending the winter months in a warm climate. I've looked into Panama, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico. There are so many things that I liked about Puerto Rico: the people, the climate, the no-hassle about passports, the monetary exchange (same as U.S.). I have decided to return to the Enchanted Island for the coming winter.
I am making plans to rent out my home and spend December, January, and February in Puerto Rico. I visited a town I discovered while I was in Puerto Rico that I really liked. It's called Rincon. It's on the west side of Puerto Rico, and I found it quiet to my liking. Since I'll have no car I have to find a studio apartment near shopping. As I drove around the town, I saw many apartments.
We stopped in Rincon at this little sidewalk cafe filled with locals and Americans alike. I talked to several of these people trying to get information. They were all very helpful. We exchanged email addresses, and I have heard back from several of these people who are all encouraging about my coming to their little town.
So, wish me luck. If all goes well as planned, I will write another blog about my winter life in Puerto Rico.
Who knows, I might become a permanent resident!
