O/T: Tahiti!

A standing joke I've got with my kids is that when they grow up, don't expect to come for Thanksgiving dinner unless they're willing to fly to Tahiti. I tell them my retirement plan is to sell everything, get a one-way ticket to Tahiti and spend the rest of my life there as a beach bum. This desire gets even stronger when it is miserably damp and cold and nothing but grey weather for days and weeks on end. I'd give just about anything to see the sun again....

Okay, self-pity over. If you need to send me an email, I'll be on the beach!

PS- By the way, I'm not sure if my wife agrees with my plan!
 
I started to say Key West, but the tax man would find you.

I need a place like that where I could go with lets say $50,000 and not be able to spend it all before I died.

Someplace where you could have a comfortable little home, a cook, a gardner, and a maid. Then someone to drive you around and make your drinks while I set by the beach and read.

I think everyone has discovered Costa Rica and from what I hear real estate has gotten high.

I need an el-cheapo tropical paradise!

Whether she is a bona fide "dish" or not, its good to hear you say that. Both of you are lucky to have each other. Good on ya'!
 
He didn't stay long. He found out the other folks who'd done it before him went nuts pretty quick.
 
I hate the tropics, Id go straight to Canada, hopefully lots of snow, pinetrees, wildlife, a cabin near a lake, case of 40s, and oh yeah a wood stove...Never happen thought, wife dosent even like NY, wants to move to Arizona??? I said were the $ell is that. I'll come visit you, ;). Some like the heat, some like the cold. Id rather have the cold than the HHH weather. Its eaiser to stay warm, than try to stay cool.
 
I think I have found an answer, vacationing in the Florida Keys, I met a local. Retired and moved there, lived on a boat anchored offshore. (no taxes/fees) Every day (in coconut season) he would get up early, take the tender to shore, go to a local park and pick up all of the coconuts that had fallen off of the trees over night, then sell then to the tourists during the day for $2 each. filled in with other things in other seasons, Clamed his bank account was nearing six figures in the five years he had been there.
 
I just finished reading a library book called
"Blue Latitudes", by Tony Horwitz. He writes about
visiting all of the pacific islands that Capt.
Cook did in his 1768-1771 around the world
voyage. This book written in 2002.
He mentions that TAHITI, on his visit, was full of
biting flies ans mosquitos. Said it was no paradise to him--a place of tourist traps and
prostitues, and if there were any chicks on the
beach topless they needed lots of mosquito dope!
