All excellent ideas and great if you want to never come back to the USA
and never kid yourself no matter what the Tica/Tico's think-you are one phone call away
all it takes is the US state dept getting a bug up their azz and a call to El Presedente and you will find a fleet of DIS SUV surrounding your house
at best your contacts in country will give you a head start
and a head start to where, the frontiers of Nicaragua or Panama
you might as well take your chances in US court
