BW: Consider me gone.
 in July 2007, I quit my job, bought an around the world ticket and set off in search of the perfect Pimm's Cup, the prettiest older women, the true land of the free, the best beach, a place to live, a place to die, a place to have my ashes scattered, a wife or two, a good night's sleep, and great food and wine on the cheap. All it made me want to do was to keep moving and see the rest of the world.
Three years after my return, battered by the stock market, low on cash, it is time to go back to work. But not before I make a run down to Central America and pick up 6 new passport stamps. We're back!
Read at your own risk, knowing that it wlll make more sense if you read the days as they happen, rather than working backwards. |
