you cant get any more Caribbean then Arizona.

Or closer to the blue or green water!!

Great find, Gretchen!

Regarding the Caribbean - If you are a US citizen you'll find it infinitely easier to relocate to Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra or one of the USVI's as you'll already have resident and work status on those islands.

Relocating to any other island is not as easy - you cannot just show up one day and expect to live on any particular island. Instead you will be immigrating to a foreign country and each country (island) has it's own set of rules. Residency usually requires substantial investment in real estate or in a business that provides jobs for locals and you will not be allowed to work without a Work permit which are often very difficult to get.

FYI - tennis is not a major sport in the Caribbean as it's extremely hot/humid for most of the year. It is mostly played just by visiting tourists - not much in the way of tennis schools or competitive play on most islands.

The thing I love about these threads is you realize just how few people read any of the responses before hastily putting in their two cents.

Yes it is an old thread. The only thing interesting is the link I posted.
We get the Times, and our DGS is a tennis player so I read any stuff about tennis. At some time in the original thread I (maybe she mentioned the names) noted their names--and it's hard to not connect up someone named Tristan!! Just found it extremely interesting--their prior life also.

Didn't mean you, Gretchen!
