If I were back in the USA I would get me a remote cabin somewhere off the grid in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains. Preferably with nearby rivers/lakes to fish on. Wyoming or Utah, much better!! (Jackson Hole comes to mind). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Elkski Posted August 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) That cambo deal sounds a bit crazy.. no quarantine but we need 3000$ in case anyone on the plane tests positive because you will be going into 14 day quarantine. Sounded like gambling when I was researching a possible meet up locations for me and thai fiance. My life hasn't changed much here in Utah. Ive just been getting lots of home improvement projects done. US isnt that bad but I have a house. Edited August 12, 2020 by Elkski 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and his wife had a beautiful house built about an hour south of Jackson. A log cabin on steroids with views of the Wyoming Range and the Gros Ventre. It burned to the ground last November in a wildfire - that's right, a wildfire, not a dumpster fire. In the US these days you just can't win. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timebandit Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I made the same damn mistake but as Yogi Bera said “it’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future”. I have a Panamanian residency in perpetuity so I will wait until they or Costa Rica open. The US is a f**king nightmare. Worst mistake of my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some YouTube of Zipolite. It has changed a lot, a bit more touristy than when I used to go. Nice area. Since Zipolite has the nude beach, more tourists (backpacker chicks) shouldn't be a bad thing. Rent an amaca in a hammock hotel by the beach for few centavos, eat & drink all you want, find a senorita (they don't get nude, unfortunately--or in many cases, fortunately), wear your huaraches, and you're set. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure there are small towns in Florida that would also be inexpensive to live in . If you eat and drink at home most places are affordable. But the "local ladies" in America ...555....well, again, like anywhere.....you get what you pay for. Many here would argue that you get a lot more bang for your buck here in LOS.

DrTuner Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Very hard to find a suitable escape destination right now, most of the world is on the brink of either economic or geopolitical disaster. My choice would be Switzerland, if I had to escape right now. Nestled in the mountains and armed to the teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbabythai Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 If I were in your dire situation I would head to Cuba or any of the cheap islands down that direction. Lots of ladies for you. Wait for a vacinne for the China virus and the planes will be flying to Thailand. Come here then. Just take a few boxes of surgical masks and your fav condoms. All will be ok. Good luck and thank god Im not american. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Hole is somewhat expensive but has a half-a$$ nice ski resort. Avg price of a home in Jackson Hole is $1.6m USD..... that's reasonable, right.... LOL As for UT, no thanks, even though they have some nice powder (snow for skiing) I don't like the idea being surrounded by Mormons. My preference is still the Beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
