Living on an Island

Ah Island life.  What can you say about living on a tropical island.  I spent 3 great years living in the tropic of cancer.  I started off in a small place, driving a scooter.   I eventually traded that scooter in for a 1987 Suzuki Samurai.   I had to change the battery and put a new clutch in that beast but it got me around.  That vehicle got my son home from the clinic in the city about an hour away.   I learned to drive standard on the way home from picking it up.  It was a good thing I bought it in the hills because it was all downhill on the way to my beachfront condo.

Eventually I traded the condo for a larger condo.  Now I was in the penthouse, I had the rooftop where I could lay out at night and watch the stars whiz past.  Life was grand.  Soon we decided that we should move up to the Villa.  This gave us more privacy and our own swimming pool.  The house was a bit hotter than the condo since it was difficult to run air conditioning in a house of that size.  The small tv was traded in for a 50 inch plasma.  Cable tv was replaced with satellite tv.

A month or two later it was time to trade in the beast.  The 87 Samurai was sold to some local surfers and replaced with a Hyundai Terracan turbo diesel SUV. 

Living on an island was grand.  I had the casinos at night where I could play poker tournaments or cash games 7 nights a week.  I had all the clubs and bars if I wanted to go for a drink.  I will come back tomorrow and tell you some stories of my island life.
