Mike is older by 6 years, but while things do happen, we are still only in our 40's, and getting healthier everyday...ask me again in 20 years, haha.

I believe you can get an extension on your travel visa. You can also take a bus to Peru cheaper then return and start the 180 days over without staying long.

As a senior, I, too, would like relocate to EC, but while there has been vast improvements made to new state-of-the-art hospitals in larger metro areas, the country is still deficit for emergency care and transportation to those facilities. Sometimes life can hang in the balance without fast response to medical help in stabilizing a patient in the home for transportation to the hospital. <br /><br />As we all age, a stroke or heart attack situation both depend on a mear 20 to 30 minutes until EMTs can arrive to start medical support. <br /><br />I think you would find Lima, Peru, or Cancun, MX, to have much better infrastructure when it comes to emergency medical services and, of course, that would depend on outlying areas and each neighborhood. <br /><br />I've also noticed from your wonderful blog that Mike appears to be a bit older than you. My advice for what it is worth - don't take a chance in the potential loss of a beloved spouse just because the economy of a certain place is much cheaper.<br /><br />Hopefully, I haven't been too preachie!!!
