Do you fancy living on a tropical south seas island thousands of miles from the ratrace?

It is nice that you can have affordable high speed internet connection and the US mail though. Of course your children would like that too and an occasional visit to McDonnald's, Carl Jr.& KFC or order Pizza Hut delivery and phone their friends on the mainland at domestic long distance rates.

Restaurants, Banks, Vegetable Market, Post office, shops and hardware stores are all about five minutes walk from your front door.
