leaving the usa by kent&kathyboyd
Hi my name is Kathy, I am retired. My husband and I are tired of the changes this government is doing that affect our lives. I have been a patriot of my country all my life and its breaking my heart to see our freedoms going away.
I've lived in Europe and in Latin America, folks, freedoms in Europe are non-existent, especially if you have to make a living there. You will always be a guest in Latin America, subject to the whims of whatever crooked authorities come into power. ... Read More

Can you be a bit more specific? Can you open it with cash dollars, check on a US bank, direct wire from the US...? Do the bank require that you have a specific visa for this service? Whatever specifics would be most appreciate.It's my understanding ... Read More

So it was dismissed on the condition of good behavior for one year. If I were you, I would check with an immigration lawyer familiar with Virginia law and procedures to see if this can count as a conviction for immigration purposes. Read More

Affordable rental car? by jwalker_01
I am looking for an affordable rental car for a 90 day period in Panama. The best price I can find is $600+. Does anyone know of a local rental car agency that rents cars for less? Any help is much appreciated.
