DragonKing just got a 3-4k square foot place on St. Croix for a very reasonable price. Satellite uplink from what I heard, either way he has high speed access. I have been to the island for a week, and my uncle has lived there for years. The place is such a paradise we picked oranges off the tree in the back yard of our cottage, and I ate some amazing fruit right off a bush in the backyard of a friend's house (no idea what they were).

The island is very 'native' meaning mostly black islanders, but they are all extremely nice, they have wonderful cuisine and culture. 15 miles across, you could ride a scooter and get around easily. Water is bath-warm year round, beaches completely untouched. Has minimal cruise ship traffic, unfortunately also has a large BP oil refinery on one side of the island, but it doesn't spill over (no pun intended) into anywhere else.

Oh, and they drive on the opposite side of the road. It's a US territory, but still a UK holdover I guess
