FORGET 5 REASON'S, LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

(1) No traffic lights.
(2) No parking metres.
(3) Fauna & Flora
(4) Weather
(5) Spectacular lightening shows
(6) Best beef in the world.
(7) No intrusive Councils
(8) Water colour witin the harbour.
(9) Monsoon rain
(10) Cheap tropical fruit and vege's from the market.
(11)Purchase of tropical plants ($4.00)again, from the market.
(12)Rubbish collection twice a week.
(13) ex-pat camaraderie.
(14) Being able to swim/snorkell any month of the year.
(15) Finding a great group of Ni Van people to employ or work with.

The positives out weigh the negatives, although there are some of the latter as well. But there's no place on earth that only has positives.

Hi Dayna,
How lovely to hear you are moving to paradise. Where did you buy? assuming you have done so.

hi
We bought the parasailing business instead of buying property first, I move over on the 24th october then hubby Dave will follow next year but come over for short breaks until our house is finished and on the market. So all exciting times ahead, am really looking forward to the change.

Wonderful Dayna. The weather alone, makes a gal delighted to be alive. No more brass monkeys getting in and out of the shower :-)
Where will you live whilst here?
I was chatting to another lovely lady a few days ago, who is seriously thinking of moving here, haven't heard back yet to see what she has decided.
