to have the health, resources, and gumption to do this. I would love to move but I'm lacking on all three.

Access to health care would be one of my primary concerns, as we drift further into old age and have special needs. Adapting to the culture, local dialog, water and food might be challenging - depending on your family's sensitivities.

You might consider availability of local service and parts in Mexico when shopping to replace your car.

Best of luck and hope you can keep us posted on your progress....... ........
