Oh NO! Another blog from people who are supposed to be in recession gloating about being some cool place YOU'RE not!

Alameda, United States


Blogging our 5th sailing trip to the Caribbean came about in the serendipitous way that I imagine most blogs do. While looking for tools to produce an online presence for my business newsletters, I ran into a travel map on a friend of mine's business partner's site. It showed a cool map of the trip she is on right now and with a few clicks, here I am.

That business thing? I'm in mortgage banking. I've had a typical year for someone in my shoes. Business slumps, deals hard to close, frustrated people, plummeting net worth: The usual. My company changed hands mid year, creating chaos. A top firm recruited me to their flagship office in San Francisco meaning months of hard work before getting to the big bucks. JUST as the first 2 months of effort looked to pay off, the company closed it's doors less than two weeks ago.

Now, wouldn't you say this is the BEST time to zoom off to the Caribbean for 11 days of idyllic, naked bliss sailing with the love of my life?

Exactly.

Ours is a lucky and romantic life which we strive to never take for granted. When we do we try, with humility and haste, to get back to thanking the quirk of fate...
