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?

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.
