I spent most of last night printing out photos of some of our past vacations so I can finally get them off the computer and into a scrapbook. As I was doing so, I was of course reminded of all the wonderful, exotic places we’ve been fortunate enough to visit over the years. I then got to thinking how nice it would be if we could live in one of these places instead of limiting ourselves to week-long visits once in a while.
I probably started thinking about this because a friend of mine told me she and her husband are planning to retire early and move to the Virgin Islands. I’ve blogged about this couple before: they’re the ones that never travel anywhere except Vegas and St. Thomas. Anyway, I became curious, so I looked into some us virgin island real estate to see what typical home prices are like.
Unfortunately, everything I saw was way, way out of our price range, so I don’t think we’ll be calling the Virgin Islands “home” anytime soon. Perhaps a vacation rental would be more in line with what we can afford to pay!
