all the time, and how you just have to know where to go and where not to go, but knowing who to trust is hard (on the internet). Bottom line, we want to relocate, but we don't want to be kidnapped and have our fingers sent back to the US for ransom. Did you go through a realtor or a service? How do you find the safe cities to look for? It sounds like you have the life I want. Well done!!!
