BillStellaR,

Thanks. That's very helpful. Yes, right now I'm in the states. It's a hard decision for me to decide if this will be worth my while. I still find it hard to get certain information. People have given me lots of good advice. However, I am not certain where I stand if I am retired with tax-free income. If I am able to stay 6 months or longer-do I have to pay into the country's medical system. If so, although I have my own insurance, will I be entitled to use the country's medical? Or, do I need to rely on my own insurance?
