So I'm buying an island.

[australianinvestor]

I just thought I'd share the good news! Besides my business partner, you guys are the first to know!

I'm preparing to buy a 10 acre Pacific islandfor an awesome price. I never thought this would be possible. Blue skies, even bluer water, pristine beaches, small mountain in the middle, covered in mango and coconut trees, totally undeveloped and no-one else near it for many miles. It's tropical paradise. While you guys are working hard in February 09, I should be sitting on the beach with a pitcher of ice cold lemonade, some cool reggae, a fishing rod and sand between my toes (providing it all goes right). </bragging>

I'll be building a small holiday home on it, and if things go right, a boutique resort on one side of the island - but more about that soon.

I don't have much time right now, but there's a good story behind it, so let me know if you want to hear it. I'll reply below.
