Where would you go?

AFter I win the lottery, my ass will be on the beach permanantly. Haven't decided where though. St. Johns, St. Thomas, Grand Cayman Island, or Hawaii are the leading candidates.

This got me thinking (and I was going to respond in thread, but some people just can't play nice ;))...

I'm a beach bum, and as much as people say I would get bored, I want nothing more in life than to retire now, and live on a beach for the rest of my life. Florida, Caribbean, Australia, South Pacific...doesn't matter. As long as I've got a chair to sit in and a surf to look upon, I'm happy.

What about you guys? If you didn't have to work for any reason, where would you end up?

Here's me deal. I definitely be a beach type but not a reclusive beach. I'd want to go somewhere close enough to all the creature comforts I want and far enough away that I'd never have to see anyone if I didn't want to. There are places in Fla that would work best probably. Gulf side. Find me a small little key and buy it. Put a ginormous house on it made to utilize every hurricane prep product/service known to man. Something only reachable by boat probably.

Sportsbar at the beach. I love small beach communities, and Ive gone to Ocracoke Island for the last 15 years. Id own a sportsbar either at Ocracoke or somewhere else on the Outterbanks. Dream on.

I'll have me a BBQ/Crabshack on the Outerbanks in a few years. You watch.

Fish and play on the beach in the morning, sell BBQ all day and play guitar in the bars at night. Ahhhhh the Pirate's Life for me!

peace

Cabin in the Poconos in the summer...some beach in the winter.

This would be a possibility. I like my address to be a lat/lon

Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys can be found at Latitude 24°37.11, Longitude 81°24.42.

I'm with you.

I love the Clearwater area in Florida. I'd want to be somewhere like that, where I could be on the beach one minute and at the mall or store the next minute.

If I won a million dollars I'd buy beach front property that also allowed me to have horses. Enough land for a barn. I'd ride on the beach, and in the Ocean. That's my dream home.

Somewhere in the Caribbean would be great. It's my home away from home now and I love it.

That or the International Space Station. How bad ass would that be?

<<ring, ring>>

"Hey Matty, what's up?"

"Smack, what's going down?!"

"You know, just chillin', floatin' around pouring Coronas down my throat, watching the game from my personal satellite...on the International Space Station!"

i don't know what i would do, besides volunteering time with kids. I'm not that big on the beach thing. too much sand in my crack:(
