Re retirement to Panama.
Some more info:
https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/pr...ing-in-panama/ I visited Panama City back in '99 and seeing armed guards at every business did not think it was quite safe at that time but looks like things have changed. One thing to consider is that if you relocate and are now a resident of another country, is to empty your mind of regional politics if you want to enjoy your days, which can be difficult for some of us.
