My hopes and dreams for the future (2014 and beyond)

Hi there, Everyone!

I have a real yen to travel internationally.  So much so, in fact, that I would like to do another trip, perhaps to the Dominican Republic, either with Dave and / or Brent and James.  We had such fun in Jamaica in mid-December that I didn't want to come home yet.  If I had known beforehand that there was going to be a massive power outage that would last 5 days in our neighbourhood and town, I would've stayed in Jamaica!  It was so warm, even in the evenings, I did not think about snow and ice or being cold and chilled for one millisecond!  I am definitely making time for myself in a warmer climate in the not-so-distant future.  That's what every person who's about to retire should be doing.  You can live relatively cheaply down south.  They have what would be called "Bed-and-Breakfast" places somewhere down there that you can stay at for a longer term than you would want to (or be able to afford to) stay at a hotel.  This fact makes it eminently possible to travel and stay at places you like for an extended period of time - maybe a month or so?  I think the web site is labeled "Air B and B".  I don't know the exact web site address, but I'll be sure to look into it.  Suffice it to say, if you see a travel blog post with my name on it, you'll know for sure that I went on another trip to a southern, warm destination.  If I got to retire right now with a full pension and discovered that I would not be penalized for retiring early, I would be thinking about, and planning, another trip down south, as we speak.  And, it goes without saying, I will be continuing to write creatively and publish books into the future.  Just check out:  Amazon, Indigo, Barnes and Noble and, of course, Authorhouse!  Thanks out there if you are reading my blog(s) and I hope you're enjoying reading them as much as I enjoy writing them!
