Right from the time we started looking
at Panama as an option to Mexico as a
place to retire we read lots of articles
with a common theme - Why Panama. Here
are a few. If you read them you will
find, like us, there are some pretty
compelling reasons to choose Panama. As
a caution, remember, these folks have a
vested interest in you choosing Panama
and some of the articles put a very
positive light on the "benefits".
Caveat Emptor -- we've not used the
services of these sites or people so we
don't list them as recommendations -
just sites to read more on the question
-- "why panama"
