So my BF and I are seriously considering moving somewhere in the Caribbean. Or... somewhere. Expatriots FTW! 
Anywho...
He asked me yesterday, "Where would you want to live if you could live anywhere?" Technically, I *can* live anywhere and always have been able to, but we won't get into technicalities. hehehe
Well, my answer was, "I don't know." Because there are several places I really REALLY want to visit, Like Egypt, Ireland, Australia, etc. But I dunno if I would want to LIVE there. My first thought was NZ / Australia because it just seemed to offer the full spectrum of things to do and see. (whitewater rivers, coral reefs, great diving, surfing, other water sports, the Outback, big mountains, snow sports) But he said it wouldn't be that different than the US except without gun ownership rights. (because the US offers those same opportunties)
But without actually going somewhere and checking it out, I can't really say with certainty that I'd want to live there.
What about you guys? Where would want to live?

Anywhere but Arkansas..... oh, and Mississippi.... probably San Diego or Arizona. Somewhere that doesn't get tornadoes as often as Arkansas.

Anywhere more than five but less than fifteen miles from my current location would be fine-- as long as I'm sitting on decent land with a high fence.

Sint Maarten(dutch)/Saint Martin(French). Going down there in 5 months time to check out the place - I'm very close to making up my mind about becoming an ex-patriot.
