You have an accountant? I don't even have enough money for an accountant!

I would love to do something like this someday, and hold a lot of respect for the people that do.

Good luck, and I'll be keeping a lookout for your updates (as you feel fit to make them, of course).

WAAAAY to go Maria.

I wish I had done something like this last year when I had the time, guess I'm just too lazy or had too many other things to catch up on around the place. :roll:

Have a great time, enjoy the scenery and let us all live it through your eyes (pics, lot's of them) and the wonderful stories you'll be tellng us for a long long time.

Ride safe.

Yep, we made significant changes to accomodate my, shall we say, possible reduced income. We had thought off and on about getting a small farm, but the areas we termed desirable - Falls Rd corrider or Howard County - were WAY out of our price range on reduced income. We have never wanted to be a slave to the house, and not have a life to have a big house. So we expanded the search area, bought our lil farm, paid off stuff with proceeds from old house sale, brought the horses home, all things to make life simpler. So we knew I wanted to change careers, and then my ride plan took shape. I am very fortunate in many ways, and plan to never take it for granted. :D
