If you could live anywhere in the word outside of the US...

My wife and I are planning on going to Costa Rica in the next year or so. Mostly because we've heard great things from everyone that has ever been there, but also to check it out as a possible retirement spot.

I am with you in Aruba and Curaçao. Both absolutely beautiful.

T and C was nice but I liked the above two better. 
 

Never been to Bonaire, pictures make it look a lot like Curaçao. 

Very similar. The beaches aren't as soft/sandy, but it has some of the best snorkeling on the planet. 

I'd go to Europe. I love it there. Don't really care. Somewhere with an awesome soccer culture.

Preferences are: Northern Ireland (great friends there) and Slovakia (motherland).

This was my first thought. Second was Bora Bora. 
 

Then I just remembered how beautiful the scenery was in Costa Rica. 

Was there for my honeymoon. 12 days. It was 2-5 days too long. There is NOTHING to do there. Amazing for a honeymoon, but even that I’d suggest a week and then Tahiti on the bookend days of it. 

Italy for me.  Although as I get older and healthcare starts to become an issue, maybe Germany....or Toronto, if that counts!

I think you are right, I was there for just 5 days. I think I would have to slowly visit all the Tahitian Islands over time. Morea, Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.

That's why I chose Costa Rica instead.

Either Malta or Mauritius.  Possibly Seychelles as well, but I haven't looked at it as closely.
