Hello.

Just a heads up for seniors....

Please be advised that it is basically hotter than the hinges of Hades in the Central and South American countries.

If you are a senior on sun or heat sensitive meds, you would be well advised to seek a more accommodating climate.

I felt like I was melting.聽 I had to take numerous cold showers or "rinses" a day just to lower my body temperature.

Also if you dress very modestly, you may have the sensation of wanting to tear all your clothes off!

And hair?聽 Forget it.聽 It will be wadded up and your bangs pulled back.聽 You will perhaps, like me, be constantly rubbing the sweat off of your face and up into your hair in desperation.

You'll feel like you're melting!

I couldn't wait to get back to the states.

And I had packed loaded for a lifetime.聽 Took everything I could possibly need.

Not smart.

Don't be cheap like me (over-committed?)聽

Take a vacation there FIRST to see if you can handle the heat.

Oh, and don't forget the humidity.聽 It is not unlike living in a sauna.聽

Don't even get me started on the bugs.

I don't do scorpions!

Most of the writings and even some shows, like HGTV here back in the states, is all about "Paradise" and I was very, very discouraged from "saying anything bad about Nicaragua."

Well, what about telling the truth?

It is definitely not for everyone.

I came away facing the truth:
It is a 3rd world country.聽
It is hot, hotter, hottest by common description.聽
It is the 2nd poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
It has more bugs than any other nation on earth, reportedly.
1.2 million people get stung by scorpions every year globally and many die.
It smells like the hinges of Hades, too, on many occasions.
(One can step out of the grandest resort imaginable and right into sewer water
or sewage.)

So be advised.聽 Get both sides.

Lovely country (many 1-dimensional picture post card shots)
Lovely, sweet people (but some really cliquish, bitchy expat women who do nothing but drink and smoke!)
Swimming in the ocean is amazing.
The sunsets are as stunning as the sunrises in my home town of Vacaville, CA.
It can have very reasonable rents for seniors although I got lied to and ended up getting soaked.

So again....weigh your options and be sure to visit first.聽 聽Nice vacation.

"It's a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there!!"

Best regards,
SKB
