Year 1: Couple visits Island, stays for a week. "This place is Paradise, this is where we want to spend our life, I wish we could live here, oh let's find a way to live here"
Year 2: Couple finagles, does what ever it takes to stay a month and then come back in the fall. "We have to find a way to buy here".
Years 3-9: Ditto
Year 10: "We have enough for a down payment, we're buying!"
Years 10-20: "This place is Paradise!! We love it our kids love it, our family and friends love it, we don't want to go anywhere else."
Retirement Years: Homesteaded finally! "Why don't these people fix up their property, I wish the city would change this! I wish the city would do something about that! We could make some money in a little business, if only the city would change these arcane rules and zoning. I can't stand how this area looks, it looks like a dump. I know!! let's change this place into a charming little Paradise!!"
The End
