My wife and I will retire in late 2014 and intend to travel, and consider residing in South America. Based on all I've read and heard, the most economical place to retire is Ecuador. I am a little leery of the political stability of that country. I visited Mendoza AR many years ago for a couple of months and have nothing but positive memories. I recognize much has transpired, politically and economically over the years, in both AR and the US, but I really want to look hard at AR as retirement approaches. I intend to avoid BA, would consider Mendoza or a similar sized metro area, but would prefer something a little more rural, either a small community or the fringes of a larger town or city. Very concerned with the availability of internet and/or English language TV. Have some Spanish, but we're both studying to improve. Does anyone have any ideas?
