So cool to get responses like these. I am planning on speaking with Rob and Lisa about this; because in a relatively short period of time I will have an empty nest at home. I am a single Dad of two late-teens, 16, and almost 18. They have college plans, and I plan on being there through most of that for them...after that...no guarantees I will stay at my job another day...

Long story, but I can name no fewer than 5 people who have waited their whole life...to die just before retirement, or just after. My Stepmom, and Stepdad, to name two.

The making a living part is key, at the same time...I do a lot of stuff...press kits, writing, journalism, marketing, events, video editing, graphic design, web content, hell...I can even sing for my supper...if I had a business, say, a small guest house on the South Coast, LOL...I'd be a pretty good self-sustaining marketer/dude. I dunno. I heard Seastar Chris rented scooters for some time...it's all finding what is needed and doing that.

I would not want to take jobs away...I'd like to think I could help create some...and I should also say that I am definitely not tied to Negril. In fact, I'd probably prefer to live somewhere else...so it could still be a great place to visit...it seem like in the "cycle" of things there are plenty of places in Jamaica to settle down and try something. There are other options, Roatan is one, but no place has ever hit me like Jamaica does...

I'm anxiously hoping to have a few Stripes with Rob/Lisa and just picking their brain. That's a starting point...as are these responses. Thanks!!!!!

One thing I know is I am going to break the cycle of working a job to pay for my car and house near my job at which I work because I have to pay for my car and house.

I'm certainly not the brightest star in the sky...but I am smarter than dying in THAT cycle.
