I have some friends actually in the Caymen islands, but they're business folk, not trades so I don't have any idea of how things work there hvac/r mechanics. Was the experience for "man from trane" positive? Or is there a reason for his return to colder weather?

Have to be pro to pm someone.

From what I have been told, moving to the Caribbean just means any extra pay will be spent on utility bills and basic necessities. I think a member here "man from trane" was down there for a while.

Cool-in-Caymen. I seem unable to PM you. Would you please send me the info you were referring too?

I was considering somewhere in the Caribbean. In Canada I would go to the Whistler region or other nice areas in BC and that is all, otherwise I'm staying put in good ol Ontario.

My buddy is looking for good techs in Cayman. PM me if you want details and contact info.

I also contemplated on moving somewhere warm, I may revisit that plan soon.

That's something to think about for sure. I'm good with the states or virgin island just tired of the dessert
