Thanks. Yup, the Red Sox did it again.  But the Patriots are on the move - they just beat the Fish in Miami!

And have fun, that interview will be a breeze I'm sure.

Sally has relatives in Bohol, in Anda.  Do you know that place?  It's on the Southeast side of the island.  We're going to visit there in December if I can get a break from diving in Panglao.  It could be a good place to retire too.

Hi Jim,

I don't think you would like it in Anda...you might see me walking around and harvesting coconuts in my Purple G-string.

G-day mate,

Dave "Daut na Kano" H.

Hey Dave,

I got some ideas for a business there - let's talk.  But I don't think you should be climbing those coconut trees, it's a long way down!  My brother-in-law Nelson does it, we can hire him :-)

Wow Raquel,
It is a small world I didn't know you were from Bohol.
Unfortunately I did not get to see much of Bohol coz I only had 3 days left before my time was up.  So I used it to see real estate in Panglao.   Bohol was so much cleaner and organized that the rest of the Islands I was on.  I only wish I would have gone there first.   They say there is a few Americans that own resorts in Bohol but never had the time to find out.  I was thinking with the Tourists not attending in numbers as before 9-11 prices for land dropped to an all time low.   I predict that it will recover in a few years and get back to not normal but better than now income from tourists.  If you stay on PL or yahoo we can always stay in touch.  It would be exciting for you to meet my wife and us see you and your family if you like.  I did see a bit of paradise there and I know you must miss it sometimes.

Well I have to say of all the islands i visited on my 2 month trip Panglao and Bohol were the ones I would like to retire.   I seemed like a lot of Europeans and Australians are there not many Americans.  But everyone was so friendly there and it was clean and organized.   If you finally get to Daytona Beach give me some notice and we will find a place to stay for you.  I really like Daytona summer of winter.  Till then bye

Hi Sally and Jimbo,

That is fantastic news! You done good Jimbo! Good luck with the Dive Master course.

Well, it'll be something for me to do when Sally and I start spending semi-retirement time over there in 5 years or so.  Looks like you and Marife are on the same timetable.  And maybe the same place - Bohol! Maybe I could get you a job as a boatman at the dive resort on Panglao.  You could double as a medic too.  I bet you'd make a good dive medic :-)

Hi Jim,

I think I will have to pass on the dive medic, but I will drive the boat. LOL I had planned to become a Hyperbaric Chamber Technician, but my ears can't handle it anymore. I'm done with body recovery too! I hate it when they pull apart! 8oO

That's great Jim, but isn't Sallie going to apply for citizenship? She should have been eligible last March. More forms, more fees, more waiting... :-)
