the biggest thing i would miss is my local us grocery store. i dont eat out allot here at home, i am a good cook - and i have family dishes that i love to cook - and the food just isnt at the hilo.. i am sure there are other options then hilo - but again i would miss my grocery store - however and on the same idea - i eat healthier foods in negril - almost no carbs - lots of veggies and seafood that i otherwise dont get much of in the usa.. i always eat what i consider to be allot and still come home a few lbs lighter then i left.. so the tradeoff i might live a bit longer.. otherwise - they have satellite tv, excelent weather, and i am quite sure i would give a go at it - if i was independantly wealthy (yeah right) or if i could make a living there(is that possible?) until then - i will dream about it..
