I think anyone who solicits advice on the internet for a life-changing decision, probably needs to get a mind of his own.
Take it dude! Sublet your apt, sell your car, save a shatload of money, and you'll be ready to buy a house when you get back. No question, go for it. What are you waiting for, you shouldn't even finish reading this post, just go.
That you know about. I have found places to ride in some strange places....stosh said:
GO GO GO !
you'd be nuts not to!.
Once you get settled down you'll never be able to do some thing like this. especilly with the amount of freedon you still have ( No House, Kids , Wife , etc ,etc )
use those Plane tickets the fly the GF down every once in a while. and while the GF is away gives you time to pick up on some Tourist hunny's on the beach

You're welcome.stosh said:
If you wanted people with experience in this type of move to render some advice, you could have said something along the lines of, "I know some of you have experience with this type of thing. What were the major factors that influenced your decision, what was your decision and what positives or regrets did you take from the experience?". Instead, you asked simply, "what would you do?".
Ask a dumb question, get a dumb answer. Sorry, I don't mean to be harsh...wait, yes I do. Grow up and learn to ask questions. If you're valuable enough to your company that they're going to send you to the Caribbean, you're probably smart enough to formulate cogent and coherent questions.
Surf, Dive, Kayak...
Bike here & there.....

Don't even look back man....
GO
Don't forget the digi-cam so you can take pics of the all the hot chicks on the beaches and re-vive the SA forum. :evil:
And, quit worrying about the biking part. You can score a beat up town bike and ride it everywhere. You can e-mtn bike on RM while relaxing on the beaches.

That's stupid. He didn't ask anyone to make his decision for him, he simply asked what would we do in that situation - and I'm sure his hope was that people who had valuable input would actually be smart enough to figure out that he was looking for some pros and cons.
Sure, it's just "the internet" - but it's no different from asking a question like this in the lunchroom at work. If he can get seventy five different opinions instead of just ten, isn't he better informed? Your dismissive tone is insulting to everyone who took the time to post their thoughts on the subject - simply because they were conveyed electronically doesn't make them any less valuable.
Missed this thread before, stosh, and obviously you have to make your own decisions (gee, I bet you never would have thought of that, huh?), but if there's a time to do something like this, it's now. Now, when you're young, with no kids, and nothing forcing you to stay. Even if you go and find out, at the end of the year, that you really didn't enjoy it that much - at least you won't spend the next ten years wishing you had taken the opportunity when it presented itself.
At worst, you will have had the experience and will know it's not for you. At best, it could change your life - as tmx said. You may find that you aren't the type to settle down in one city. Isn't that worth knowing about yourself?
Wow.... thank you!binary visions said:

Plus I have to ask you guys and not people at the lunch room table because it involves me leaving my job.....
I love my job here but I'm only making $2k more a year than I was 3yrs ago. Looking at that tells me I need to get out of here.

Yeah, I was wondering this, too. Unless you leave all the money in a bank in the country you're working for won't the US government take a cut when in comes into the US?

no kidding- hell, surfing can replace mountain biking as your major sport for a year or so.
stosh as a surfer. I can see it.
as for the $$$ side, you dont have to pay rent- major +, and it seems that more stuff will be paid for if you take it, and the $ increase will surely pad your bank account nicely.
go. dont look back. especially while you're still young. RM will still be here, we'll still be here, unless the FCC goes all whack and censors every word in the dictionary.
edit: i spell funny. changes made for the spelling/grammer/ar nazis. no, not capitalizing, however
Take it! Learn how to snorkel. Your family will survive - and take your girlfriend with you - or enjoy the girls on the beach and don't tell anyone
