The Unplanned Future

In Phase 1, we did the "Rice and Beans Tour" and took on Mexico, Central and South America.  It was a year that brought us from Mexico City to Buenos Aires where we road innumerable chicken buses, climbed active volcanoes, and learned the various local slang for the word "hangover".  In Phase 2 (also called the "Teach the Youngins" phase) we went to Korea to teach and replenish the travel coffers.  Now, folks, we are almost in Phase 3, the "Yet-To-Be-Named-Southeast-Asia" Phase.  That's right.  We've been informed that the last day of March will also be our last day of teaching and then we will be free to roam once more.

You're probably wanting to know where we are going and what we are going to do. And those are completely valid questions, neither of which have complete answers.  First the "where" portion.  We will probably fly into Bangkok airport, and then we will go to...umm....well, that's as far as we've gotten.  Maybe we'll go explore the highland and jungle areas; it's quite possible that we will head down to the islands in the south of the country and do some yoga; maybe we'll even explore Laos and Cambodia.  Who knows?  If it's one thing that we've learned it's that well laid plans never go accordingly, so it's best to just go with the flow.

As for what we are going to do, we do have some goals - long gone are the days of aimless wandering.  First, we are going to do some more work on our internet business.  We'll keep you updated on that.  It's suffice to say right now that we've come up with a new revenue model that we're nearly done with completing.  Second, we are going to explore yoga.  We have had more downs than ups in Korea, but one of the major ups was that Bessie has re-discovered yoga and wants to learn more about it.  If the timing is right, she may even sign up for a yoga teacher training so that she is certified to teach yoga anywhere in the world.

If you look closely at what we are doing, we are trying to forge a permanent location-independent life.  In the best of all scenarios, Bessie will be teaching yoga at some posh yoga retreats while I continue to reap profits from web sites.  Mabye we'll be doing it in Spain, maybe in Bali, maybe in Kyrgyzstan.  Such is the uncertainty of our lives.  Will we do it?  Will we succeed and report to you, our dear readers, from more far-flung places 2-3 years from now?

We hope so.  One thing is for sure, though.  We are going to try and do it our own way.  Success or no, we'll have no regrets about any of it.
