Another option I gave some serious thought but decided against it was to simply drive to Panama. But decided against it as I wasn't sure about driving through Mexico, Nicaragua and Costa Rica alone. Again being retire, I pretty much have the time and the money to do it.
I know that even though I have pets, I still want to be able to travel. So I have to go through these logistical nightmares. My dream has always been to be able to spend a year in another country and live as an expat for the experience. I am now in the position to do so and I don't have to give that dream up because I have pets. I just have to find a solution to this. I know I am not the only person who has traveled with two pets alone. Who knows, if I love Panama enough and both of my pets are with me, I would even consider staying for longer than a year. There's nothing really keeping in the US anymore.
I am finally at a stage in life where I can truly let my spirit guide me. If my spirit wants to stay in Panama, I will. I can't think of a better position to be in.
