back to earth

I am back to earth after my 4-5 weeks of daydreaming and fantasizing about moving South of the Border. I really want to do it, but realities of my life make it impossible to contemplate. A 10 year old in a great school system, who is a fairly good competitive swimmer; a 30 year mortgage on a house I am upside down in; a job I must have just to pay for the house, etc.

I will keep dreaming about retirement, but I have to live in the here and now. I have a wanderlust that my father and his father had, but I have never acted upon it.

I really do hate being a CPA, but how can I make 75k at age 47 in a new field? Not going to happen! And 75k isn't very much really, we barely get by.

I will satisfy my wanderlust by reading other people's blogs!
