The Top 5 Panama Mountain Towns for Expats A lot of people choose Panama because it is too far south for hurricanes, they use the USD, and the mountain towns (usually 4000' elevation) are still warm, but not so buggy and humid. There is also good jet connections to multiple airports in the USA.

I would. I would rather be in 120 degree heat than 50 degrees. It is not even close for me. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

AZ in summer is the face of the sun. Get a mobile home in FL and live there in the winter. Lots of people do. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Even Phoenix was not that warm in Jan when I was there. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | It's uncommon here to, but we've had 70's for the last week, hard to tell when the wind is blowing, which it usually does in the desert. Especially this close to the lake, we get that onshore effect. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

It was 74 degrees in Vegas today and I was cold because there was about a 15mph wind. We tried to have a picnic in the park but had to leave because of the cold. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

In Vegas, it's not just the wind, it's the dust that it blows. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

I've said many times I wouldn't live in Vegas if it was free. Too ugly and depressing, too hot in summer. It's a giant strip mall with brown as the background color. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
