On December 6, IL's Mexico editor, Glynna Prentice tells us about her visit to the eye doctor in Merida, Mexico. Clean facilities, immediate service, qualified staff... and the entire visit, PLUS MEDICATION, cost less just $70. First-rate care at bargain prices... Glynna tell you all about it in her Dec. 6 postcard.

Dec 7 -- Speaking of medical care, Lynn Armstrong writes in from Corozal, Belize, where she says that when you need to see a doctor, there's no calling ahead or waiting for an appointment. You just show up and they see you. You even get lab results the same day. Plus, they speak English... you knew Belize was the only English-speaking country in the Caribbean, right? Find out more in Lynn's Dec 7 postcard.

Dec 8 -- Carrie Dow tells us the story of a friend of hers, Elbert Greer. Elbert had been using Ambergris Caye in Belize as a base to find a Caribbean hideaway to start his life over. He checked out the Caymans, Turks and Caicos, you name it... until he realized that everything he needed—stable government, low prices, "fee simple" land ownership—was already under his feet in Belize. It's a great story... read the whole thing in Carrie's Dec 8 postcard.

Dec 9 -- Don Skiver says that when he first visited Placencia, Belize, it brought back memories of growing up in southern Ohio in the 1950s... a kinder, gentler time... barefoot kids playing in the park, kicking soccer balls, riding bikes, going anywhere in town without a care. That's not all that touched his heart about this amazing little corner of Belize... find out what else Don found in his Dec 9 postcard.

Dec 10 -- Bob Bauman writes in to say that natural beauty and English language isn't all Belize has going for it. If you're looking for a place to plant your "residency" flag, Bob says Belize should be high on your list. Its offshore laws ensure maximum financial privacy... they allow asset-protection trusts, and there are no local income taxes, either personal or corporate, and no currency exchange controls. Bob really give you something to think about if you're exploring your residency options... find out more in his Dec 10 postcard.

Dec 11 -- Ronan McMahon of Pathfinder real estate writes in from beneath a thatched-roof palapa bar on a sunny beach in northern Belize where he's found an incredible deal... residential property right in front of him that he can see from his stool at the beachside palapa bar for less than $50,000. Find out exactly where this pocket money paradise is and how to get a piece for yourself in Ronan's Dec 11 postcard.

@Koryuhoka so well said

[Koryuhoka]

Though I am American, My Culture is Caribbean. And I love ALL Caribbean People and ALL Indigenous People from the Americas. And I despise the treatment we receive from these arrogant, selfish, greedy and condescending people. 

[Koryuhoka]

I meant they should continue to keep the local business taxes low. When Foreigners from central and south America go to the US, Americans greet them with racism and hatred. They are condescending to them. They pay them low wages and work them very hard. Yet, when Americans go to places like Mexico and other central American countries to live out their retirement or just go to live better lives, they are treated like royalty - because We, People from 3rd World Countries - are just like that!

[Koryuhoka]

It's a shame that Americans can go to a place like this and enjoy it carefree, develop big businesses like hotel resorts, which pollute the land and waters. The love to rape nature. I am an American myself and believe that all the countries along the Caribbean should force any and ALL business to establish sustainable green infrastructures and make them pay higher taxes - after all, they are enjoying it and can afford it! Keep the locals businesses low. Americans treat all Foreigners bad.

CORRECTION, Belize is the only English speaking country in Central America, not the Caribbean.
