We--my late husband and I--tried many times to set up an escape. We actually owned property in Panama for awhile, wanting to escape Shrub. Made an offer on a condo on Bonaire in 2015, but my husband wouldn't go through with it. After he died in 2018, I toyed with the idea of a look see months long visit to both France and Portugal to see if I wanted to move abroad. I have friends in France. But I waited too long, then the Pandemic hit and I totally abandoned the idea. Bought a small single level house near both my grown sons. I've been encouraging them to look abroad, and said I'd go, too. But I no longer have the energy to go it alone moving to another country.
