It's amazing when you see couples like that! they grow together and stay together forever❤

[@loriobrien8882]

Got our first electri bill and it was $89.90. Frank's Dr visit was $12.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thanks for sharing your electric bill costs. Several people asked about that. It depends on how much you use air conditioning so the price will vary.

[@terianderson9959]

My electric bill last month was 324.00 and this month it's 302. 😩

[@JuanMoreno-wo5yb]

I like having a cemetery next to the house! I like having quiet neighbors and when I stop breathing I won’t have far to go to my rest home.

[@rebecarodriguez1532]

That's what I am doing now...watching every single video along with the Q&A ones on Wednesdays to get an unbiased view to help me decide.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

We'll keep the information coming!

[@tomgore9696]

Lovely people, wonderful country. We bought the guide today and look forward to the adventure of a lifetime.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

@@tomgore9696 thanks for buying the Online Guide!

[@LawrenceYarter]

Lori and Frank , nice job on the session we fell in love with San Carlos as well and bought a home there. We will be back down in February and will try to look you up when we are in town. Larry and Colleen Yarter

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thanks for reaching out to Lori and Frank when you return. They will love that!

[@loriobrien8882]

Lawrence .have you gotten to San Carlos yet?

[@andersberry1954]

This couple is charming and savvy.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@jeanettemarie6456]

You two are the sweetest couple!! ❤

Y’all rate a 👍 and 👏 plus 🙏 for being high school sweethearts. Glad you are enjoying your new adventures in Panama. I hope to be there some day.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thanks for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it

[@terryparish7133]

One of the best information video congratulations you have me thinking!

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Glad it was helpful!

[@amarie3309]

Lori love your enthusiasm

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@bobbiesmith9861]

Love them, they seem like great people. I love that they started a breakfast club, great initiative! Is the water clean? So grateful for your honesty on missing a community. The information on health care was so appreciated.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

The water is Panama is excellent!

[@loriobrien8882]

I filter my water

[@kanderton1]

I will be participating in the February 23rd tour. Looking forward to it. Great tip on Air Med coverage. Air Ambulance service is extremely expensive but the insurance coverage is very affordable. If you have a pre existing health issue seems like a good idea to get coverage.

[@loriobrien8882]

My friends Ted and Susan will be on the Feb 23 tour as well

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

It's a very good idea to get air ambulance service is your primary insurance coverage is in a different country. Then you can go there for treatment.

[@isabeleyerly8878]

Visit El Valle, it is about 30 minutes from there.

[@loriobrien8882]

We have visited El Valle a couple times

[@ceev9229]

​@@loriobrien8882are you still liking San Carlos? I may stop for a few exploratory days end of Feb/25. Pleasant couple, great presentation! Cheers Christine

[@WEBVDO]

Jackie, thank you SOOOOOOO much for the B-roll of locations! Seeing the video si VERY helpful.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful

[@QQQBall]

Agreed

[@lisacorrigan481]

Cute video you two. Best wishes with your quest of finding your forever home in PTY. We’re both from there (Canal Zone- Zonians) and NEVER thought of moving back; however, now we are in a few more years.

[@tonirusso4112]

What a sweet couple and a great video! Who knows, maybe we’ll meet after I arrive later this year! 😊

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Definitely!! They are sometimes guest speakers during a Panama Relocation Tour

[@valentinalarsen6284]

Thank you, guys

[@amazing-osky2052]

Wow Lori and Brian… you two are Aaaaamazing 🥳🥳🥳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽I love your positive attitude and outlook to enjoy life! I think I am ready to move to Panama 🇵🇦. Oh btw my husband have to had his crown replaced and he ended up paying $400 out of pocket with our insurance! 😢😢😢. Enjoy Panama 🇵🇦, we are not ready to retire yet(not age retirement)but we are moving out of the USA in 5 year. We love to travel 🧳 and be adventurous

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Come see how you can LIVE BETTER for LESS in Panama. It's not too soon to check out Panama even if you don't retire for 5 years.

[@mknowles2090]

Great information can’t wait to visit

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Hope you can visit Panama in 2023. We can help panamarelocationtours.com/tour-options

[@loriobrien8882]

Sorry I didn't add in food costs. If course it is different for everyone. We spend 300-400/ month on groceries and about $300 going out to eat.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thanks for adding your food costs.

[@loriobrien8882]

Was disappointed to see our second electric bill was$189. Price per KW went from .13 to .22. In Georgia it is .12

[@erics4768]

15 Cents in the Energy Capital of the universe, Houston..lol

[@bethloomis8961]

Hope you continue to have a wonderful adventure.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

They definitely will enjoy the adventure of exploring Panama now that they have a driver's license and a car.

[@LindaOenglishlinda]

He may have the "tele med" option with his Medicare Advantage plan too, for 0 dollars. ( I am a United Health Care agent) if you do that online, its offered with most Part C plans for no cost. That would give you peace of mind too. God bless you both...

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Yes, Telmed is available but for med refills, some doctors insist on the patient going back to the US. Certainly something to investigate before picking a doctor

[@JohnDoe-sp8zg]

Thanks for the video Where is your dentist?

[@huguecornez6682]

Hi Folks; I just saw your youtube channel and I'm Hugue, 65 from Brussels. Thr Belgian hungry taxman is cutting my 2300 Euros pension by 500 Euros and that irritates me so much. So i've decided to move to Panama probably around May or June this year. I'll come with my new wife and we'll start a family. I'll certainly buy the Jackie's Guide as I see great value in it. So, I'll say see you within a couple of months, you are both adorable and I'm sure we'll do just fine1; Cheers ! Hugue

[@JayCo-]

Awesome video 💎

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

[@JayCo-]

This is why having digital collectibles and assets is smart. Easy to move them across borders

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

good point.

[@PapaDougsAdventures01]

Great job guys

Thanks for the info !

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching

[@loriobrien8882]

You're welcome!

[@laurashepard3099]

I have had my eye on Pedrasi- how does it compare to San Carlos including community and weather?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

They are both HOT. San Carlos has many more amenities.

[@millielopez10]

so if we want something like florida (south) what area of panama would be the one to look for?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

The Coronado area or Panama City would be like Florida south.

[@loriobrien8882]

From Nueva Gorgona all the way to Pedasi

[@grcerosa]

Yes she does 👍🏻👏

[@dovygoodguy1296]

Hi Jackie. Would it be possible to do an indepth interview about all the taxes affecting life and expats? Like import taxes, VAT, income taxes, tax exemptions, especially in comparison to other countries....

[@laurayale369]

Lovely house.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

It really is!

[@marilynpeoples5099]

Socialization is very important!} That’s my concern. I travel as a retired, senior single… I love nature, but I need people.

[@dovygoodguy1296]

The comparative list of expenses left out food as an obligatory expense.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Food costs vary depending in diet. Average $400/month for a couple in Panama.

[@dovygoodguy1296]

@@PanamaRelocationTours I admire the optimism and adventurism if these people alot. It is helpful to me too....

[@bobbiesmith5316]

Is there somewhere you can live in Panamá where you can ALWAYS GET A HOT SHOWER

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Sure, anywhere in Panama you can always get a hot shower if you have a water heater at the house. If the house does not come with a water heater, it's only about $150 to get one installed in the bathroom.

[@loriobrien8882]

Sure, that should be on your list of questions to ask before renting. We have plenty of hot water.

[@JoannaMiller-b2j]

Good morning, I have been thinking about Panama for the last 3 years. I retired at the end of 2022 and ready to start my search. Can we connect?

[@WEBVDO]

Q: Are there any dentists performing LANAP surgery in Panama?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

sorry, I do not know the answer to that question.

[@WEBVDO]

Q: Why don't you want to STAY in San Carlos?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

They want to explore other areas that they have not visited yet.

[@loriobrien8882]

We want to be in a community . We don't have any neighbors. It gets lonely.

[@loriobrien8882]

And we will probably stay in San Carlos even if we move.

[@marcicamenisch3367]

10:38 We would like to spend a weekend in San Carlos, not with a tour guide, just a weekend getaway. What is the best way to find a place close to the old town downtown area?

[@1960317]

@@loriobrien8882 I appreciate your video. What would be a ballpark rent price be for a 2 bedroom in the area?

[@richarddalton2850]

Took a Holland America cruise to Panama, people not the friendliest, saw Panama City and other places.major road which runs across isthmus and it was unkept, highly used,rough and very bumpy.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

too bad you did not get to see more of Panama. The area where the cruises come in in not a good part of Panama and should not be used to judge the rest of the beautiful country of Panama.

[@richardsides2742]

I lived in Florida growing up, and many of my friends from Central America had similar comments about America based on the city they had flown into. Of course, to see the area around the Miami Airport is not to have seen the United States.... Just a thought.
