Same idea here. So I have been planning a fact finding mission to Costa Rica later this year.
Besides warm weather, stability, low crime rate & low cost of living this paradise has no tax for income from foreign sources.
In the past I had considered Spain but it doesnt offer that great tax advantage and is much more expensive.
I had been to Mexico a few weeks ago but Mexicans have a very strong anti-Gringo mentality so it makes living there much less fun (Merida, by the way, was hit very hard by a hurrican this September)
Though if you consider one of these countries you definitely have to spend some time & money in Spanish lessons.
