    Jenine, I am an American eye doctor living between USA and Panama. Your local physician in San Carlos is fine for minor health issues. For diabetes, consider being evaluated at Punta Pacifica Hospital in Panama City. It is Johns Hopkins University affiliated. Best to get this done so that if you do have issues, baseline is established. Also, since annual eye health evaluations are necessary with diabetics, get this done in Panama. Consider getting the government health Plan for major issues. It is affordable. Best to you.

Been going to San Carlos for over 60 years and little has changed with exception of dogs seemingly getting more to eat. lots of weekend entertainment - weekly cock fights where winner gets a case of Balboa Beer and an occasional Pindin (local music). Nice place to visit and enjoy local culture, living there is something else.

    I am from So Cal as well (Orange County). I have grown up surfing and have been a surf/water photographer for some time but it's getting so crowded and the prices are eye watering. A 2bd/2ba apartment is 4k and up. Honestly, I don't see how a person can retire here unless they are in the millionaire club. How is the surf in San Carlos??? I like the part of the video about driving. Reminds me of Costa Rica, San Jose to be specific. Organized chaos but it works. Glad it is working out for you guys.

Hopefully this beautiful land won't become overrun with east/west coast millionaires.
