Where would you go?

jamf · 06-13-2007, 11:53 AM

I would buy a really nice home in an upscale community of San Diego ( Rancho Santa Fe or La Jolla).

Or I would live in a suite at Fedex Field.

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?

Honestly I am thinking about buying an island when I retire. They are relatively cheap(1-2mil) for a small decent sized on. Only thing I am seriously worried about is paying for a fresh water refining plant and piracy.

But I hope to get one.

I would keep my home base right here at home, but I'd do a ton of traveling.

Assuming money was no object, I'd probably own a beach house, a house on a golf course to which I belonged, a condo in Vegas, and a house in the mountains somewhere. I'd probably bounce around from house to house, but also spend lots of time in Europe and the Carribbean at resorts.

I lived in Hilton Head for a year like that, it did get boring. Sorry.

No worries. I'd figure to play golf, snorkel, sail, hold up the corner of a tiki bar, you know the basics. I'd probably get bored, but then remember what it was like before, and quickly go invade hoo's private island

I would do... nothing. I would sit around on my ass..

Riggo44 · 06-13-2007, 02:01 PM

First I would buy a House on 10th street which is my Favorite cove in Laguna Beach. Then I would buy a house on the coast in Big Sur. After that I would build a big house in Coffs Harbor Australia out towards the big Banana. I would also buy back my Grandparents house behind Mount Vernon next to the Potomac so that I could stay there when I fly back to Virginia for Redskins games and Christmas. I would have to get family to live in and take care of them because I would be out globe trotting with beautiful women like Dr.Buss does majority of the time. I think that would about do it.
That reminds me I need to go buy a lotto ticket.

THANX SS for the tip! I'm feeling REAL good about the Lotto on Saturday. This should save me some leg work to find my island.

See this bar? My friend owns it. I would be in that white plastic chair.

I want a private beach...I would never put shoes on again. I'd like to say Hawaii for the simple fact that it can be very secluded and I can embrace the culture. However, it is so public (very rare to have a private beach there) that it might be impossible.
Grand Cayman Island has some spots that are extremely secluded, and I loved playing with those sting rays...they are like giant dogs, but do I really want to be under British rule?
That leaves St. Thomas or St. John. St. Thomas is more popular, so St. John would be the better answer, but there is nothing there but the island. You don't have decent dining or anything like that. Then again, I suppose I can drive my yacht over to St. Thomas to dine. hehe. Plus, Kenny Chesney has a place on St. John, and he lives my kind of lifestyle. No shoes, no shirt, no problem.

I really liked Hawai'i (the big island), tazmania, and milwaukee... still a fan of Northern VA too though, and san jose wasn't bad.

Gotta love Hawaii cause if you get sick of the seclusion, you can go to Honolulu to get what you need.
