It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Lots of information on Google... N.E. Texas 2 acre and 1/4 acre ponds Original george #173 (22 June 2002)

I have read lots on line about the topic. I am very leary, however, to pick up a real estate person via the internet. It its tough enough to find one in the states who really has your back let alone one off of the internet in a foreign country. As Rad says...If you are not living on the edge you are taking up too much room. While we cannot make a permanent move now, we would like to start planning for that future place. I thought that land may be cheaper down there. A co-worker has bought a place in Aruba that was quite reasonable, and that got our wheels turning. Anyway, thanks for the help!
