I don't plan on buying any property or starting a business anywhere, though: I'm reducing my holdings to a 30' bluewater sailboat. I've always wanted to be an ocean-hippie!
I have an acquaintance who's been out there for 22 years and twice around the world. Just married a gal from China, and doesn't appear to feel like he's missing anything. I'm tired of cleaning gutters (thanks Fred Reed), political angst, and all the life-sucking duties of middle=class existence. I gotta live before I die.
Send you a postcard.
Amen! (Escape Artist rocks...lots of good info there...take some time to dig around!)
