earthdome Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks Beachboy....i keep telling myself it is a leap of faith!!! All of my life i have been so careful with planning and not taking too many risks...so this is a HUGE move for me. Same for me though..staying here is not bringing me happiness that i seek....and another 20 years of this would really drive me insane...if i am not already! :) Cheers This reflects exactly where I am at in my life. I too am getting close. I have only 2 months until retirement and will make the final move sometime next spring after tying up all the loose ends at home. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhh...La Union...I will be visiting there next trip in March 2013...Bauang...San Juan...and points north all the way up to where Mike will be hangin' and south down to Zambales and Subic area..I will be scouting for a place to land when I retire...I wonder if one of the One Hundred Islands is available? Of course then the name would have to change...so scratch that... I just researched Banna and see where it is in the province...interestingly up until 1995/96 it was called Espirtu...

I had the pleasure of travelling from Manilla to Ilocos by private car...it took many hours (12 i think) but it was a great way to see some of the country side. Perhaps on your trip to the province next March we could meet somewhere... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike from BDA Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 man...getting so close!!! trying to leave here (workplace) on good terms is really hard..perhaps impossible considering. At work in my office and can't focus one bit. The decision has been made, my resignation notice is in...so why am i still here in this office torturing myself? So i am going to take my remaining vacation days i have and getting done NOW!. I will use the time to finalize my affairs and hang out a bit with my family and friends that i will soon be leaving...a much better use of my time!!! :) Baby...I will be home soon!!! :540: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Peterson Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 :thumbsup: Mike! I went through the same thing in May I won't say I know but I can guess, how fast your head is spinning, sleepless nights, no appetite. All will be worth it when you check in to the Airport Bon Voyage my friend :cheersty: :tiphat: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
