Hi Everyone!

Happy New Year to everyone! Well, is this year your “Now Time”? Will 2008 be a “New Year,
New Life” for you?

Maybe just start by visiting a new country like Costa Rica or Panama, revel in having no more
cold Winters, enjoy the low property taxes or just meet people who are happy with their life,
remember that?. Maybe I will even help you to get here....

Bargain Basement offerings will be countrywide...and, as before, all listings are “active” as at the
