I doubt you have ever been on a dive boat without
hearing Margaritaville and other Jimmy Buffett songs
played mercilessly, probably leaving you with a Buffet
brainworm.
However, if you are one for whom Jimmy's music
rings your eternal-youth bell, then you might consider
moving to Latitude Margaritaville in Daytona, Florida.
You see, he's partnered with Minto Communities, a
development firm, to create a housing community for
those aged "55 or better," where margaritas and chill
vibes, along with beachfront access, live entertainment,
lap pools, spas and more will be the menu of the day,
not to mention margaritas. Opening in the summer of 2018, the 7,000 homes being built will range from the
low $200,000s to $350,000.
Writer Eric Vilas-Boas says if you move in, "your
literal job then becomes to kick back all day, every
day, and ask yourself -- with the studied conviction
of a Buddhist monk -- "What would Jimmy Buffett
do?" Answer: Pour yourself something tall and
strong. Take a lunch break that takes all afternoon.
No word yet if they'll offer diving, but if they do,
sing along on the ride to the reef and wait till your last
dive's done for your first margarita of the day.
