QotD: Where in the World...
If you were independently wealthy, where in the world would you live?

For a mere US$2m, plus a likely equivalent sum to build a decent home, install solar and wind power generation, and a small desal plant, there's White Island. (the second link will provide a Google Earth KMZ file). Looks wonderful, isolated and within reach of an airport if needs be. Naturally, I'd have my twin open pilots licence, and be flying myself into and out of my island escape in my new Antilles Goose. At US$1.3m for the radial engined version, and US$2.3m for the thirstier, albeit more powerful turbo-props, I think I'd rather stay traditional and opt for the radials.
All that, peace and serenity for less than US$6m?!! Bargain! It's good to have dreams, isn't it?
