Fellow Nomads,
I am about to be free to increase my Baja adventures. I have held off until now to begin my retirement countdown. I am happy to say that as of today,
I have TEN working days remaining. I can't wait to be free to travel when specific things are happening rather than making do with dates that my work
makes available. Whale season, best fishing seasons, fiestas, they will all be within my grasp. I have enjoyed all of my limited Baja travels and
being able to share yours here, but shortly my options will be wide open. I can't wait. I hope to meet many more of you and visit your little pieces
of paradise. Let the countdown begin!

I retired 14 months ago with plans to visit Baja more than my 2x a year trips. I have been exactly ONE time in the last 14 months - seem to be too
busy to get organized to head south! It's a very sad thing....jbcoug - 6-11-2014 at 04:01 PM

0+4years. retired once at 53 bought the land and have secured the contractor and will have plans drawn next month. the casa will be built over the
next 14 months starting Jan 2015 will spend a couple months jan feb 2015 with layout and foundations work then back to work. I landed a nice gig doing
what i used to do for the company i used to work for under contract with the new company i work with. weird things happen. I have negotiated time for
Baja at least two months a year for the next four years, possibly more if I can get it. I'll return in Oct 2015 to veiw all the mechanicals and return
in Jan 2016 to see the finishes done. Will try and only work 6-7 months the following years 2017-18 spending the months of november december jan feb
march in baja. After 2018 it on an as needed basis working when i'm in the states 6 month of the year. The rest of the time being spent in the east
cape area and todos santos area. hope all works well according to the plans. Have met some nice folks over the past years down south looking forward
to meeting some more.jbcoug - 6-18-2014 at 03:45 PM
