i'm orignally from the East Coast of Canada, so I understand your point. But after living in the carib for a while, i'll give up the winter and less disasters (major snow storms, ice storms, flooding in areas in the spring, etc) to constent heat and more danger (hurricanes, etc). Worst case, I can live in a tent all year round here - even a hammock with a net over it at the worst. Can't do that back home without some major consessions!

Its a trade off, one that i'm willing to take. Besides, my wife is on the evac flight with my company (first time in a couple years i'm not on it). So there is no doubt she will be ok and thats my main concern.

Besides, i'm a big believer of renting on this island. Actually right now its cheaper to rent then own (first time in years that could ever be said about this island).
