| I think I'd go for a PBY-6A. You can fly to your favorite Caribbean port, set down, launch your dinghy and go fishin'. Not to mention all the lakes in Canada and Alaska. Charles

| I'd buy a surplus aircraft carrier and modify a Lear to land on it... that's mobility!

| I think I'm with Charles. Go to all the lakes or oceans you want. Just tie up to any dock to live. Uh oh, storm coming, lets go! Get to see all the hot spots and invisible spots, air travel, sea travel (minus the karaoke). What more could you want?!

| Of course the boat would be only one of things I would buy. A large seaplane would be one of the others...

| Go on YouTube, and watch James May do 253 MPH in the Veyron - it's great.
