I've only been to the Carribean on vacation, but always thought it would be an interesting option to work there during the nasty midwest winters! I don't have any inofmration to offer you, but wanted to wish you both the best as you pursue what sounds like a dream retirement! :cool:

Some places don't use American RNs I was told many years ago when I was interested in working in Barbados..Hopefully that has changed....

You also might want to check out some travel agencies. If I remember correctly, there are a few out there that after you work for them for a year, you can apply for an assignment in a nice, warm, tropical location. Hope it works out for you.....what a way to start retirement!!
