Great Overview
This book provides a great overview of retired life in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Ecuador, covering a wide range of topics of interest to a retiree or traveler. It gives the reader good side-by-side comparison of everything from rental costs to pets, while being easy to read and entertaining.
As has been pointed out in other reviews, there are other books which provide more in-depth detailed information for any of these countries. I found this book valuable in helping me decide where to focus my attention. In fact, I have since bought books dealing specifically with three of the four countries dealt with here, based on what I learned in this one.
I found it to be a good starter for those with a desire to learn more about moving south of the border, but without much detailed knowledge about living in that environment.
