Mom Graham, I look at all your pictures constantly. ALL we really want to know is if you are alive and well. If your brother Jerry or your sisters, Kandi, April or Bambee have a bad time of some sort I know their spouses or their kids will be on the telly giving us all kinds of details. You my son have been very considerate in keeping your dad and I informed on your where abouts and what is going on in your life. We really appreciate the fact you do this. Of course your boy genius, Andrew let us know one time too when you kinda diappeared off the face of the earth so that is really great of him. We have been really concerned about Ally, our grandaughter, who is in Africa and not doing so great so I guess our minds turned to you when we saw no bloggs for a couple of days. Gotta remember, we really are just two old parents with too much time on our hands who love you more than you can ever realize. Thanks for the blogg.

Can I pre-order the book on Yahoo ?

In for 1, But not sure it is possible to live in Paradise for $500 a month
considering Beer would surely be half the budget
Except for possibly Vietnam were you can get a pitcher liter+ of fresh cold beer Bia Hoi for a dollar

Paradise is what you make it. Ask Uncle Don if there are not people sucking on the teat of the State in Hawai'i Nei. Section 8, food stamps., medicaid, power paid. Why work when the welfare state creates the facility for imbecility? Congress just approved another 6 months of unemployment benefits. Just print more money. However, when the $ gets a haircut of 50 in buying power, you may need to rewrite the book.

I wonder how long it will be before there is a book on living on...500 yuan/month in the U.S.

Just a thought.

Andy, I blieve you have found a niche for a book. Knowing your writing over all these years I think you may have a good chance. You are so right about most of the travel stuff, it is not for people who might actually move to paradise or at least spend major parts of a year in paradise. Keep it up and keep us informed. Thanks, John

Hi Andy,

I skim ( With my coffee and a wish) thru your post everyday. Noticed today you did not post. Even worse ( worry wort here) found out that a volcano erupted. Hopefully one far far away from where you are.

Thinking of you, wishing you well,

Wingmaker

Glad to hear that you have started on your book!

The flood of baby boomers who are reitring, or soon to be, will be flush with pensions and looking for adventure. They will be ripe for enlightenment and who better to lead them than the "boy next door".

Live in paradise for $500 a month? Andy, tell us how to do it! Please include some first hand accounts of those trailblazers you meet who are leading the way.

Mom Says. I am really happy you are writing a book BUT we sure miss those bloggs. We have been busy with our 2 brand new great grandbabies but I wish you would write a few little bloggs.
