I read your report and felt so bad for what you went through but glad that things finally worked out for you and that your trip was well worthwhile.
I don't know if I could have kept my cool through everything you went through.
We, too, love the island and since it has been three long overdue years of not going, have made the final plans to go in July. Have checked and rechecked all of our documents and we are good to go.
You see, we are on the downside of getting to our retirement. If things go well, it'll take place in December of this year and having bought a home in Naples, FL five years ago will be heading down there for the first of the year.
Good luck selling your home and hope your dreams come true--real soon.
