Welcome to my Blog site. I’m taking a break from business life for 6 months and doing a few things that I feel I need to do. First there is getting away for a long break and I have decided to aim for Asia and then carry on around the world to Australia and the USA. Then there is working out along the route what I want to do with the next phase of my life. Sounds a bit deep, but I think everyone who also gets to 50+ thinks this way too. Finally there is the business angle and to fine tune what I would like to do with my talents over the next 10 years, to satisfy my ambitions and reach fulfilment. The Blog will give my travel as it unfolds and I have an area to tell you whats in my mind. When you have time it also sparks creativity, so what ever comes up, will go down in the diatribe. I hope you share the same sense of humour as I do. I would love to see your replies along the route, but I will need to censor the naughty words and innuendoes.

We all go through the mid life crisis in our forties!, enjoy, looking forward to reading your adventure.
Fantastic – looking forward to living life outside of BT via your escapades xx
Enjoy your trip! I can’t remember being 40, Maxine, or even 50! But like Paula I look forward to following your travels. Sadly I have nothing so exotic planned for this year – Whitby, Eurodisney and Ledbury are my planned destinations punctuated by regular trips to Boulmer; hopefully we will have suitable weather to make these by motorcycle. Cruises will have to wait until two teenagers have ‘flown the nest’ and until Mrs T reaches retirement too! Probably only 10 years to count down!
Safe trip as you explore the world. Can’t wait to read your blogs & see all the amazing photos – worlds your oyster enjoy x

Hola Lilian, que era una maravilla para conocer su opinión. Espero que tú y Guillermo son tanto bien y ha disfrutado el resto de sus vacaciones. Si desea cualquiera de la foto de, házmelo saber. No estoy seguro de si puede obtener directamente desde el blog, pero puedo enviarlas por correo electrónico. Pensé que mi foto de ‘paparazzi’ de que salió muy bien 🙂 Mi blog me muestra los países en que el acceso y creo que va a ser el primer país de América del Sur para iluminar mi mapa. Compártelo con alguien que usted conoce en ningún otro país como para un poco de diversión que estoy tratando de ver cómo muchos países puedo ‘iluminar’. Estoy de 13 en el momento. Bueno, a punto de abordar un vuelo a Perth. Ten cuidado. los mejores deseos de Dave x
