Thinking of retiring in Costa Rica? I recommend the Live or Retire in Paradise Tour offered by Christopher Howard (tel. 800/365-2342, www.liveincostarica.com), author of The New Golden Door to Retirement and Living in Costa Rica; and Living Abroad in Costa Rica, by Erin Van Rheenen (www.moon.com/books/living-abroad).
