Damn. That other motherfucker-----> always seems to win too.

Lol, i thought i was the only one who had this problem. The responsible guy vs the adventurous guy, i was fighting this feeling earlier today. My adventurous side wants me to go travel and party next month, my responsible side is telling me to invest,invest, invest, its crazy.

Dude I just found out that Tampa has direct flights to the UK. If you want to meet there let me know for a few days.

It's been 3 years since my last run to the U.K. I'm game. I think the cheapest corridors to Georgia are Berlin and London.

I'll drag Emech up to Newcastle. He wanted to know where the American accent goes further. Well, that's the spot.

I'm signing up for Portuguesepod101 tonight. I already have several decent android apps on the tab to practice. Also have a Motorola Atrix 2 enroute, to utilize Google translate when I get in a language bind on the fly.

Revised schedule:

Country X:.....5 days

Frankfurt:......6 days

Dubai:...........9 days

Country X:.....3 days

Back to Work:.2-4 weeks. (depends on how much I spend on the previous 2 weeks.)

All the above travel is paid with full salary.

Home:............1 week

Italy:.............2 weeks max

Georgia:.........1-3 months (depends on ROI)

DR:................2 weeks (scouting trip and brush up on mi espanol)

Brazil:............1 month (unless things look good, then longer)

If the Sao Paulo project falls through, then it's back to the DR. By then my bank account will have taken a beating. Or if I'm broke, I'll be sitting in Emech's office begging for a job.

Well, this is it. Threw in the towel at work today. Wasn't going to get what I wanted at negotiations, so it is time to go. I'm tired of compromising in an industry that is shutting down, and being told "this is as good as it gets".

Not sure where I'll end up, other than the DR to decompress. It's been a turbulent 6 months, and I need to focus, and start studying immediately. The world is rife with opportunity, and I'll let the winds of chance take me to find my fortune.

Stay tuned, I'll probably be breezing through your neck of the woods. The first several beers are on me.

Best of luck to you mate. From our previous discussions it sounds like a well deserved and overdue break.

Good luck bro. If you are in this part of the world stop by Bangkok. Not a bad place for a little rest and relaxation.....actually it is a terrible place for that, but it's a fucking blast.
