In today’s video, we are off to the ocean in Marlena do Mar, then up high in Campanario to visit some friends and back home making some Poncha, a local drink made with rum, honey and citrus. With a stop in Camara de Lobos.
Today we continue down the list of questions we receive from you.
We wanted to tell you about our experience with the healthcare system in Portugal.
It’ll Be Fun! ..Vai ser divertido!
In case you do not know, the Madeira Islands are in the Atlantic Ocean about 325 miles west of Morocco and 625 SW of Lisbon.

We are on an Island in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Morocco!
It doesn’t suck.

Boa tarde! This one is interesting the price is amazing! If you are not subscribed we hope you will join us today.
Your videos are so well done. I love all the shots at the ocean! The beaches look gorgeous! Thanks for posting another very informative vlog. I look forward to more! Stay safe!
✌🏻🙂✌🏻
We have loved Madeira for over twenty years and have visited there at least once or twice each year (Covid permitting). We love the island, the climate and the politeness of the people. It’s so much much much more than a refuge where you go to live to get your ailments fixed because it’s cheaper there than in the USA.
The “neighbor” should have paid for her care NOT her travel insurance.
Loved it. Thank you for all the details.
Olá Alan and Leslie. This a great follow up video to your previous one on healthcare in Portugal. Judging by the number of views already, it's really generating a lot of interest. Congratulations on the growing success of your channel. You'll reach 5K subscribers in no time with your great content. Looks like your a dab hand at mixing your own Poncha! Cheers!
I just cannot express how much I appreciate the time you put into these videos, as well as your commentary and point of view. Well done. Thank you!
I left the states 4 yrs ago. I'm in Europe now and heading to Portugal this Fall. I know I know I need to buy insurance before I apply for residency but unclear if it's six months or one years worth.
As a portuguese i have to say that we are really bleassed to have a health system like this comparing with other countrys.
I often used our health system and normally the coast is zero euros.thanks and enjoy your retirement here in my country.may god blease your life.
I’m happy that you’re channel found me😊 very informative. It’s mind blogging how much we are ripped off here in America, plus trust me most of us here aren’t treated that nice at hospitals, especially now . You both are blessed to experience a more relaxed peaceful life in Portugal . Thanks YouTube for listening to the conversation I was having with my husband over the weekend about retiring to Portugal, now I have info and you got a new subscriber 😂
Good evening
Thank you so much for the great videos, I look forward each week and really enjoy the content and your laid back humor. Thanks for taking so many hours editing.
It looks like paying for Private insurance and paying out of pocket for emergencies at a private hospital visit is no comparison to healthcare in the USA
Cheers!
Andrew
Love seeing your doggie. Can you do a video on how pet friendly the area, businesses and restaurants are? Thanks
Hi Alan, Thanks for the information. I hope to spot your blue bug sometime in the near future. I'll try to wave you down,, so don't run me over! I'm hoping to import my blue beauty as well? Cheers,
I've just started watching your videos. I have been researching Portugal and you are enhancing my desire to move there. Thank you.
Alan and Leslie….can you tell us how are you adjusting from say a single family home with a yard etc and now going to an apartment? do you guys feel a need for more space? if you are not on the ground floor, how easy it is to take Greer out for his personal business?
Another informative and nicely done video. We are planning to move to PT April 2023, most likely Madeira so your health insurance info was helpful.
Thank you for your very informative video. An avid fan here from Canada. We are seniors and retired and we find your vlog very helpful. Thank you and God bless.
Very Cool !
Hi Alan and Leslie. I love this one. It's great to get real dollar amounts. I love that you get your labs because they are yours. What a concept. Thanks for all the effort you put into creating these helpful videos.
Great video, You are amazing. Glad to see so much gratitude for my country. Thanks Alan and best wishes. Portugal is real an amazing Country
Your videos are great and have me seriously considering a move to Madeira. Thank you and congratulations for having the courage to leave the U.S. and live your dreams.
What's the make and model of that red car?
Awesome video Alan. You have answered many of my questions on healthcare. We are also looking into MGEN for our coverage as well. Keep up the great work and hope to see you all in September. God bless.
