    A very exciting time. Stressful, but in a good way. I'm sure the two of you will be very successful and happy. We'll be eager to hear all about it.

    Belize seems like a wonderful estination for retirement; and I am sure you both did lots of research before deciding. It is an exciting time...and for obvious reasons, bittersweet. Bon Voyage!
