If you had your dream job waiting there for you, which country would you move to?

Australia, almost anywhere in western Europe (incl. the islands in the Med), maybe New Zealand. I'd eagerly add Japan/Singapore/Hong Kong, but I don't think my Darling would enjoy living in those places...and if she ain't happy, I'm for doggone sure not gonna be happy. The only reason I won't consider Dubai is that she and I love PDA's...and I don't want to get arrested for kissing my Darling in public.

Since I want to work in the media, I am already in the ideal area being the tri-state area, but other than that I guess that would send me to London to work at the BBC.

Stick to the name but go Bahamas.;)

The Bahamas are kind of ****. While I'm sure there are some nice places there, their upper class houses are what we would consider pretty low class. Bad neighborhoods, broken down houses, businesses that are abandoned and falling down, etc. You can't even go into a pharmacy there without being rung in by a clerk. The doors are locked and gated. Really sad when you get away from all the touristy stuff.

I used to think that until a very liberal girl friend told me of her 15 year experience of living in Costa Rica; the worst part was the petty crime, where people were constantly breaking into their yard or house looking for something to steal. The experience forced her to acquire a gun and, on one occasion, frighten off a would-be burglar with a shot.
 
Frankly, if I were working, I can't think of anywhere but somewhere in the USA.

However, there are places I'd like to live for extended periods of time while retired: New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, Slovenia, Adriatic Coast, and Northern Spain.

My choices for extended stays are based on very personal criteria: weather (must be cooler mediterranean or marine), and/or language, and/or civilized amenities. Canada is too cold and dreary, Malta too hot, and most of continental europe too overcast.

That could be said for a lot of tourist-y places.
