Wasted away on the rich and famous (or not)... The shores of Laguna Beach are  a nice little escape from this little reality of a life. The rates are not TOO obscene -$129 to $599 - but you get to look at magnificent views of the Pacific, always a nice thing. But what disappointment must set in when you leave.

I want to move to seaside paradise like nobody's business.  I would even take to doing menial tasks if only to satisfy this dream. As long as I have a view, nights off, warm breezes off the ocean (so an island in South Pacific or Caribbean would suffice.)

I want adventure too - living in the Midwest blows chucks - in living in a tropical paradise. I wonder if someone needs an IE to do layout work, or maybe warehouse labor??? Or maybe all those Jack Higgins Novels actually take place, and do have a need for a landlubber like me? Maybe I should sharpen up on my Espanol? Or some other tongue?

I'd live in a 20' x 20' hut/shack, with basic necessities, and of course, Satellite TV (for my Cubs & now, Marlins fix.) Transport my books, a laptop and a few clothes, and buy a generator to run things.  Live close to the beach, even run a paper delivery service if that made a dime or two.

Maybe it is all over romanticized, but hell, so is Hoosier Hysteria over basketball...

Well, someday, when the necessity to live in Boring, Indiana is no longer a necessity, I'll make that leap to somewhere warm forever...hopefully a ROOM WITH A VIEW.
