This is a great post Randy! I can truly relate. I'm at that point where I must make a similar change. So how did you feel when you decided to go down South? Fully confident? A bit scared? I'm assuming the multiple trips beforehand helped out a ton. Once you've been to a place it's easier to think about migrating there. I want to look into doing the same thing. Panama has even been on my list. Along with Costa Rica and Chile. I"m not looking forward to dealing with the Washington idiots to buy out my slavery contract.
