Have you ever thought of retiring here....

Bnewb’s original post referenced an article in the Huffington post.

Of the nine reasons 1 - 6 are absolutely true one way or another. Get over it! It really has it's rewards as described in the counterpoint.

8 can happen anywhere. I wouldn’t have wanted to be retired in Bay Head NJ when Sandy showed up!

From my point of view number 7 mostly doesn’t apply in Negril and seems to be written about a small Island

For Jamaica...Yes, the expats/retirees and residents of other sorts are there but to most visitors they are invisible.

I am about to leave Negril and start staying and working at Zion Hill in Spring Garden. Not that I won’t come to town on Sat at Seastar or for a webcast, or diner but I will be staying in Spring Garden and interacting with visitors only now and then.

I think most residents whether part time or full time live sort of that way.

Excepting one couple from Sheffield to whom we all owe a tip of the hat!

Just my opinion guided by experience
