general answers to the why why why questions

i get asked alot of questions about why i moved here, we first came here in april of 1994 to visit a couple that had moved here from minneapolis,i loved it the minute i stepped off the plane and knew that i was finally "home",it took me about 6 years to convince the tim that he wanted to live here as well. When we stepped off the plane the first thing that hit us was the humidity and the smell of the ocean,it was great after the coldness and sterility of minnesota,it was so green and overgrown here,flowering trees ,shrubs and palm trees, the dumpy little airport was great,they push the stairs up to the plane and you exit onto the tarmac, our host met us and took us to his b and b in the hills above fredriksted,back then it was clothing optional and that was why we chose to stay there instead of with our friends from minnesota(not too many clothing optional places in minnesota you know). We ended up staying for 10 days,just exploring the entire island and in the end we decided it was the weather that appealed to us the most,not the beach, the ocean,the people or the culture it was the weather,it really is perfect here weather wise,no blizzards,tornadoes,just an average temp of 85 year round,if you're going to get hit by a hurricane you know at least 3 days in advance and we've only had 3 good ones in 15 years.
