I hope all goes well with your move Peter.

Within visiting distance of my family too... once our shack is built.

How wonderful that would be Graham

Although having said that I've no idea how long we'll be staying in the area.
If I had my way I'd be living somewhere in Batanes

That was a great place to go and get some good ideas on what you may be looking for, then we just jumped into the the motorbike and sidecar and went to the local shops where it could have been a lot cheaper and even getting better deals for other things too,
Always best to send Ems and her dad in first then me to follow later with the cash

A beautiful place Peter, and I remember your account of your previous visit there.

I wonder how this will affect the way of life there though ?

I've a feeling the locals will view it differently from me in that their cost of living may reduce significantly.
You may know that almost all their goods/foods etc has to be shipped/flown in at quite some cost.
Also it may boost tourism

But for me it would mean a big change in a lifestyle that hasn't changed in 100's of years. Bit selfish on my part really part, but it's one of only a few such places left in the world.
