Just feel like talking

Hello world, it is a lovely day here in Chicago sun is shining and it is very very warm and humid. I love this kind of weather and that is why I am so in love with Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico. You can live and work in Paradise.

For 3 years I lived in Panama while my husband was in the Army there. It was amazing, getting up every day in a warm climate, it was the strangest feeling like you were on vacation all the time. It was great. I had a job, but it did not feel like work, since during lunch you could sit out and eat in the warmth and in general the air smelled sweet, because that is the way the air smells in the tropics.

Every day was a day in Paradise, think about it you too could live and work in Paradise. If you would like to live and work in Paradise, email me and let me know what areas you would like to live and I can help you.

I sell real estate internationally primarily and especially in the "Paradise" areas in Central America and the Caribbean. Tropical breezes, lovely palm trees, beaches, all the properties of a very happy place to be, cold drinks and outdoor fun all the time.

I am sitting in my office overlooking Michigan Avenue in Chicago and dreaming of being in my shorts and t-shirt and sandals and hanging out somewhere in the tropics. Unfortunately, I am not in the tropics, but today outside the weather feels very much like Panama and and it has caused me to daydream a bit about my happy days in Panama.

Fortunately for me I have a home in Panama that I go to on a regular basis and next year I will be retired there and be able to live in Paradise forever. No more snow and cold weather, no more shoveling, oh it is so lovely to be able to eat all your meals outside, yea!

I will be writing stories about all the lovely places in Paradise, so keep tuned for my blogs on the wonderful lifestyle you can have by living in the tropics. I am passionate about this as you will see and hopefully you will get caught up in my passion and see what I see and feel what I feel.

I live in Florida and yes, it is wonderful, but I have to say, work still feels like work

Joann - Sounds wonderful! I am in central Wisconsin and have lived here all my life. I have been on vacation to the tropic areas but am always happy to return home. I tolerate the winters here but really enjoy the change of seasons I get to experience with spring, summer, and fall. I love the fall colors here when the woods are bright red, orange, and yellow. And the spring just brings that wonderful feeling of life! We are having a beautiful day here with the sun shining and a nice breeze!

Joann I have worked in seven states over the past thirty years and I have found there are always trade offs. "Paradise" is a mind set, and I have heard it said in almost every local, "another day in "Paradise". Today in Mesquite it is going to be 114, not a cloud in site. You know what they say, "Another day in Paradise".

Joann - when my older son lived here in St Petersburg, he took a job in Gulfport, a small artsy town here in the area. He loved walking a couple blocks to the beach for his lunch or his coffee breaks - made a real difference in his lifestyle.

Dear Joann,

You are absolutely right, Panama has beautiful places to visit - I was there last year for the Panama Spectacular and Mr. Juan Souza took us all around on a post tour after the conference. I felt like I
was in Paradise. I hope you and I can do a lot of referring to each other once you go there to live,
However, before you go - let's try to close some deals together here in the U.S. Thanks for being such a great supporter of our FIABCI-USA Luxury Properties Group. Send me information on that
property you would like to promote. I will try to find you a buyer for it. Thanks, Dagmar Sands in
Atlanta, GA.

Joann: I was under the impression that the weather in Chicago was sunny and warm all year long. Was I misinformed ? LOL. But wow, living in a climate like many of the above comments describe would be wonderful... but, then again, Fort Worth is pretty nice all yaar around, too.
