Yes, its the final countdown.
After 15 years at Amazon.com, today is Becky's last day there.
I have only 5 days of work left at Symetrix. Its been 10 years since I started there and really was my first career.
But now its time for adventure. Taking Avy to see the world, meet new people, swim, kite, and just generally gain and even better appreciation for life than we already have.
On February 8th at 9pm the three of us board a plane in Seattle and will land in Cartagena, Colombia at 1:30pm the next day. So, we have 1 month to finish packing, move out, touch up paint and clean the house, and hopefully get some tenets renting before we leave.
OK. So getting tenets before we leave might be pushing it. But hopefully it will happen pretty easily since there is a housing shortage in Seattle.
That being said, once I am checked into the plane and drinking a beer before my flight I think that then, and only then, will I be able to take a deep breath and say "We made it!". Then its off for adventure in Colombia.
It's going to be great. I have been working on a concept for a business (Come Kite With US) centered around Americans and Europeans coming to meet us in various developing countries, staying at a nice property with us, and generally hosting them and their wind and non-wind activities. We will see if I can make the model work.
To get started, we are hosting kiters for the last week of February and the first week or two of March. So far we have 2 girls and one guy signed up and coming to meet us. More are welcome and if you want details about how to come kite with us / stay with us in Cartagena, don't hesitate to email me for details. theorytheproducer@gmail.com
Around the first week of May, after three months in Colombia, we return to beautiful Caberete in the Dominican Republic. We love it there. Both the local and expat friends of ours, the weather, the culture...we just can't wait. And on top of that, I am feeling pretty good because it is looking like I may have secured a instructor job. I am not going to say anything yet and jinx it, but I will update this blog with info when I lock things down.
Other than that...I think it is fitting that I embed the following video.
