Question Any countries with short travel times?

Hello,
My dh and I are just getting started and are trying to narrow down the countries we're looking at. We would love to consider a Central or South American country, however all the travel times look to be over a month and we can't leave our jobs or our other children for that long. Is there a program out there I may have missed (besides Guatemala - that's way too expensive for us unfortunately)?
Any advice or pms on agencies if there is a good program would be great.
Thanks.
Kim

I think El Salvador is starting to open again-- looked into it briefly and several agencies are opening programs. It is significantly less expensive (at least the quotes I saw) and travel seemed to be more in the two to three week range. At the time we looked into it the agencies I called didn't have anyone home yet, but that was several months ago.

Best wishes!

Thanks for the reply!

We will definitely look into El Salvador. It'll be such a relief when we've finally decided on a country! Thanks again!
