My husband and I are researching our next move. We lived in the USVI and there is a website like this that we found very helpful (vimovingcenter.com). I am 46 and an ultrasound tech. My husband is 53 and runs his own auto repair shop outside of Chicago. I am not ready to retire (my husband is). I am an ultrasound tech and love my work. Would I be able to work in Panama, is there are a need for my skills....Currently looking at other destinations as well. Panama is one of our top picks. I will read your side and welcome any input anyone is willing to give, positive or negative. Thanks

I have plenty of time...Looks like I am heading back to the USVI for the next year anyway...A great job opportunity came through. Agreed to a one year contract. Plenty of adventerous souls there. I have no doubt I will be able to pick plenty of brains of ex-pats who have and who are, and who will be traveling abroad. Already know of a couple in their 80's who decided to leave the USVI for Argentina and a younger man treking to Panama to check out the landscape.

I will check this board from time to time and search out other venues for information as well. I was just hoping for more of a response....Thanks though!!!

The main hospital here in Panama City is John Hopkins. I'm sure that there is a need for your skill. Outside of the city, I'm not sure if there is a large need.
