They've made a couple exploratory trips to hunt down the perfect beachside spot. From everything I've heard from them CR is a very affordable place and you can get legal residence there by having either $30K in the bank or earning $30K per year (should be easy enough to qualify just of the pension) but I don't remember which it is.

I have no plans to retire for a few more years though.
