Hello

Welcome to the forums. I hope we can meet your expectations.

Tell us more about you! Do you live here?

Yes... Cabrera -- as I posted in my intro

I will have to go read it! 

I'll fill you in a bit...

all solar... no luz publico, no agua publico...self sufficient

A few dogs... couple of cars...
back/forth to US/Canada... here 8-9 months a year..

Waiting for my citizenship after tiring of the renewal process

Have a good network - legal, medical, etc

So far so good since 2008

Life in the tropics ---- It's a breeze

Thanks. It sounds like a good life you have created here!

I don't know if it is a matter of creating the fine tropical life as much as it is accepting the compromises  neccessary & the natural goodness of the island.

I try to compromise..

I have DISH tv... Sirius in the house & car... I try to not disrupt things too much

But - certainly - day to day life is dictated by the hand you're dealt.
And don't argue with it !!!
That's death !!

acclimate might be the word - huh?

Acclimate, fit in, adjust, compromise at times while trying to stay true to your values!

It isn't always easy but for me it's been worth it.
