Dear
Christopher Howard:
It has been over a week since
our return from Costa Rica. I
want to express to you my gratitude
for all the time and effort you
extended in making our seminar
and tour of the Central Valley
of such a worthwhile experience.
It marks a significant first step
in making our dream of moving
to Costa Rica a reality.
I cannot say enough positive things
about all I learned in such a
short period of time. I filled
half of a 70 page spiral notebook
with beneficial notes gleaned
from the presentations of the
different speakers. As a professional
educator for more than 30 years
I have attended countless conventions,
conferences, seminars and workshops;
let me say that I would rank the
seminar and tour as one of the
top three "learning sessions"
that I have ever attended.
The speakers were all "top
drawer." The information
presented was relevant and thought
provoking. The content presented
was pertinent to moving to Costa
Rica but relevant and applicable
to anyone contemplating a "move"
to and taking up residency in
any foreign country. The tour,
the hotel, the seminar facilities,
the meals, the people who met
us at the airport and helped transport
us to the hotel were excellent.
As for the two day tour that followed
the seminar, it gave us an excellent,
in-depth knowledge of the various
locales. Next year I plan to spend
our U.S. winter months in Costa
Rica, rent a small furnished home
or condominium, explore the country
more thoroughly, identify a property
to purchase to establish my permanent
residence in Costa Rica.
Finally, it's a relief to know
that I have a number of people
resources I can call upon to help
me in the process.
Again, thank you for the extra
mile you go to make the Costa
Rica Seminar and Tour such a beneficial
experience for all participants.
Sincerely,
Robert Clairmont
Adjunct Instructor

| Hello,
my name is Carlos Torres and I
am an American from Florida. I
wish to briefly discuss how I
came to live in Costa Rica. In
mid 2002 I was considering retiring
to either Mexico, Spain or Costa
Rica and a good friend of mine
suggested Costa Rica, because
it is the only true democracy
in Latin America, their efforts
to preserve the environment and
the beauty and variety of the
country.
Looking in the internet, I found
Chris Howard's book "The
New Golden Door to Retirement
and Living in Costa Rica".
In spite of the utopian title,
I did purchase the book and read
it from cover to cover. It covers
EVERYTHING you want to know about
moving and retiring to Costa Rica..it
became my Costa Rican Bible!!
In January of 2003, I had Mr.
Howard's Central Valley Tour,
which was EXCELLENT since he has
a vast KNOWLEDGE of the county.
In March of the same year, I came
back on my own and toured the
Pacific Coast area, again using
Mr. Howard's book as a guide of
what to see and expect or not
to expect.
I
was so IMPRESSED with what I saw,
that I moved to Costa Rica in
May of 2003. To this day, whenever
I have a question about some issue,
I refer to Mr. Howard's book and
on occasions I have called him
to ask a question or two. I would
RECOMMEND his book and his tour's
to anyone interested in moving
to Costa Rica. My Email address
is: ctorres1@amnet.co.cr
and I welcome anyone to call me
and ask about the book and the
tours that Mr. Howard offers...or
about Costa Rica. With warm regards...
Carlos Torres. |
| "Our
three-day private consultation with
you in Costa Rica was ESSENTIAL
to our family’s relocation
planning. You showed us and told
us just about EVERYTHING we needed
to know to make our final decision
about the move. We are especially
GRATEFUL for your latest assistance
in helping us enroll our daughter
in the Lincoln School in Moravia.
We can’t THANK you enough.
Hopefully OTHERS will BENEFIT as
we did from your KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE.”

| To
put a few pages of compliments into
a few words let us simply say that
we know of NO other experience in
traveling where, in just a few days,
a person can come to understand
so much about a country and it is
critical infrastructure for new
residents. The tour, and continuing
SUPPORT from Chris, allowed us to
confidently purchase land in a country
we had never visited before. The
personal conversations during the
tour offer a chance to understand
what life would be like, and what
it would cost, to live in this beautiful
and relatively unspoiled country.
Recommended WITHOUT reservation.

| I
attended one of Christopher Howard's
tours for the Central Valley. I
would HIGHLY recommend it for anyone
considering living in Costa Rica.
In conjunction with the ARCR seminar
and his extensive knowledge of the
country and culture, you will have
access to all the information you
need for an informative decision
about life in Costa Rica. Rick

I just wanted to thank you for the
tour of the homes and towns and
seminar. I really ENJOYED it. Joan
Siegla, 2004, joannecpa@sbcglobal.net |
| Enjoyed
your tour and all the HELPFUL information
and advice. Brenda and I were undecided
where we would retire until the
tour. We now live in one of the
cities (Alajuela) we visited and
couldn't be happier. PURA VIDA!

| We
took Christopher's tour and were
so IMPRESSED that we wrote a full-page
description about our good experiences

his services. Jim and Carole

could have NEVER made it this far
without your tours and EXPERTISE.
Thank you again for all your advice.
I am finally a property owner in
Costa Rica. it is a 3 bedroom 3
bath free standing villa approx
1700 sq ft with a magnificent view
of the Pacific & the bay at
playa Hermosa, Guanacaste. it is
in the well established resort of
sol villas hotel & resort. I
am the highest villa on the hillside
overlooking the bay with the best
view. 20 minutes from the Liberia
airport. of course it is very secure
24 hours a day. there are lots of
things to do & a number of fine
restaurants in the area. We plan
to move here permanently in 5 years.

| Fabulous
Tour! Just want to let
you know how much my husband and
I ENJOYED your tour at the end of
January, 2004. It met ALL our expectations
and MORE, giving us so much information
in such a short time span. This
was a working vacation for us as
we wanted to find out if Costa Rica
is a retirement option that will
so more than just fit our budget.
Your van tour gave us a window-shopping
view of many desirable neighborhoods
and "filled our stomachs."
Your FRIENDLINESS and HUMOR and
personality FILLED our hearts, too.
Also loved driving to Punta Dominical.
The ARCR seminar was extremely valuable.
We've been looking back over our
notes because we've decided to try
Costa Rica out fort several months
this summer! Can't THANK you enough
for everything you did. - Judith

| "We
wanted to express how much we ENJOYED
our Central Valley Tour with you.
To paraphrase, 'Don't leave home
without FIRST signing up for one
of Chris's tours before coming to
Costa Rica'. He covered EVERYTHING
so well that our only question is
not if when to move." - Jerry
and Amy Banks, September 2003

| "Thanks
for the V.I.P.TREATMENT, I enjoyed
my tour and excellent conversation.
It was a pleasure to meet you and
I hope we can stay in touch."
-Ken Krug, June 2002. |
| "Thank
you so much for the tour. Before
I left for Costa Rica I was not
feeling well. As it tuned out, the
trip was exactly what I needed.
I don´t see how the tour could
have been any BETTER. I saw and
LEARNED so much." - Jim
Wonders, Cleveland, Ohio, October
2001. |
| "These
tours offer a gold mine of information
about living and investing in Costa
Rica. We plan to move to Costa Rica
soon." - John and Marsha
Mellody, July 2001 |
| "I
really found this tour worthwhile.
I plan to move to Costa Rica with
my family within a year. Everything
I learned with help make my move
easier. I especially enjoyed the
seminar and all of the areas of
the Central Valley we viewed. I
know I'll reap the benefits from
the great insider investment information
Mr. Howard provided." - Chris

could have never done this tour
without Christopher Howard's INVALUABLE
help. He showed us how to find the
house of our dreams and really learn
what living in Costa Rica is all
about.." - Dick and
Salley Palmer, New Jersey, March
2001 |
| "From
the time Chris picked me up at the
airport I never stopped LEARNING
about the country. I picked up some
great tips on investing and made
many EXCELLENT contacts." -
J. Richard Freeman, Naples,

is a good chance my wife and I will
spend at least part of the year
in Costa Rica someday. I'm HAPPY
I took the 3-day tour." - Roger
