Hi Elaine,
Had a bit of full life eh. You say you were looking forward to semi-retiremet. I am coming up to retirement soon but I have the option of staying on full time .Im undecided at present, what do you suggest. I think I would be bored with nothing to get ouy of bed for. I suppose it all depends on your health.Looking forward to hearing from you.

jst want to join in about retirement as it is in my neck of the woods. I've been in Panama since 1951; retired in 1987 with a pension from the Social security here.you know we are treated very well-every bank, has special windows for retirees(us), discount for food in all restaurants; good discounts for medicines bought from chenist shops, called pharamacies here,similar discounts for movies- AS my cheques are paid into my bank account I have to report twice yearly to the Social Securty so they can see i am alive( proof of life). We have two types of identicicaion..a cedula(personal ID) and the other the social security ID. The initial personal IDs are given FREE but if you I loseit I pay for a new one.
