But the Dell Webb claims that about half of the boomers will be able to spend retirement money on some serious travel. Carol White, co-author of Live Your Road Trip Dream, predicts that there will be an increasingly massive market for travel of all types.

As much as all these things concerned me, they were not my biggest concern. The biggest factor in turning me away from owning a bar was the lifestyle. I got to know quite a few bar owners and when I looked at their lives, I knew it wasn’t for me. It is just such a crummy life.

When I arrived, Bhante G, welcomed me to the monastery and retreat center in the same warm manner that all serious seekers are welcomed in Theravada Buddhist organizations, by never charging fees and only asking that the seeker meditate seriously and help in the community however he or she can.

Morocco is beginning to attract the British, French and Spanish investors and it is, for the moment an exciting place to put your money in. The King of Morocco has presented Vision 2010, a plan to attract more foreign investments to the kingdom.

Sean was quick to admit that it was not an easy start for him. It is pretty much like a leap of faith for him. There was one thing that he was pretty sure about though. It was the fact that he was not happy with what he was doing with his life anymore.
