ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:

DEADLINE IS HERE to Register to Vote From Abroad


EXPATS!!!  The deadline to get to Vote from Abroad is FAST approaching (some states it's already passed and I believe the majority of the deadlines are THIS WEEK (this year the election is Tuesday - November 6, 2012!!)!

Though don't dismay as if you missed your states deadline (you HAVE to register to Vote From Abroad from the last state you were registered to vote and with that address [even if it was 20 years ago] and the new LAW in MOST states is you MUST RE-REGISTER with EACH ELECTION if you're Voting From Abroad) you can always do the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) where you'd ONLY be voting for the President.

The FWAB is a back-up ballot that you can use if you requested your ballot 30 days before the election OR by your State's voter registrations deadline, WHICHEVER IS LATER.  You should use the FWAB if you have not received your pre-printed state ballot 30 days before the election.

To answer more of your questions (since it's a bit complicated) AND TO REGISTER TO VOTE FROM ABROAD - go to:

PLEASE "SHARE" this with EVERY American you know that LIVES ABROAD - or knows someone that lives abroad
