We're still here and planning

It has been a while I know, the business of the world, and the activities of the day are consuming us, - which is exactly why we want to do this. We are so busy being busy we are not enjoying living. We want to live, and live life to the fullest.

I am more anxious than ever to start this adventure, the current economy has stalled things somewhat for us, as my business I own is struggling, I was able to sell a majority of the interest but I am locked in for two more years as the transition continues - but that gives me hope, I know that in two years, I am free from this ball and chain, and then I will be able to pursue my dream of showing my children the world. 

We missed the Miami boat show that we really wanted to make, but we are making plans for the shows in the fall and winter. Hopefully we will be able to accomplish those and find the boat we want for our home. 

We have been doing some research in the partial ownership program to help us pay for them - but we are not sure, it seems that for us, we want to go as soon as possible, not have to wait five years for the program to end.......any suggestions?

I have also begun my fledgling writing career, selling more magazine articles and finishing my first book. and almost finished with my second. Hopefully these will be able to help us financially be able to go and keep going as long as we choose. 

Anyway, just wanted to touch base.
