Who Knew?

I now know that age is just a state of mind.  On our walk along the seafront today we saw a couple of people looking tired and old and heard it was someones birthday.  55 years old!!!I realized how happy and grateful we are to be still "in the game of life" working our business around the world, having adventures and experiencing all that we can.  One of my friends said she was too tired to travel like we did!  Boy is that sad or what?

The Sky at Night from our Villa in Spain


This was the weekend the clocks went back an hour in Europe, so we took these pictures from our living room shortly after 7.00PM.

When we saw this sky, we were even more grateful to have the opportunity to live here in Southern Spain.
How inspiring are sights like this?

The Closing Gala

The theme for this event was adventure. The invitation was to come either in black tie or dressed as your favourite adventurer. here is Don testing out a wig for his outfit. Doesn't he look like Yasser Arafat?

The "famous" four dressed to kill. Karla and Don as Zorro and "Mrs" Zorro. Suzanne as Solitaire and me as 0067 licensed to kill, eat and drink!


With Shannon, she looks fabulous


Lots of people went all out. Here is a contingent from Europe. Howard (unrecognizable) as Zorro, Alistair as a musketeer, and Olly also as Zorro. When Howard sat down to eat, nobody knew who he was! I must say, my costume looks a bit tame, but I was comfortable.

The Resort

Puero Rico - The First Day

The conference begins "in earnest" Here we are greeting everyone as they come in. As you can see, it's all very serious!!!
Suzanne getting everyone going first thing in the morning.


Who would have thought we would be dancing on chairs at eight 0'clock in the morning? Is this fun or what?


We break for lunch and enjoy a chinese feast with our friends Jessica, Tony and Eastern, with Amy and David. The friendships and relationships created in our business are so close. Like minded people on the same path.


Onwards and Upwards to Puerto Rico

It was along flight from Madrid to Miami and then on to San Juan, but we had plenty of time to rest up before all the fun started.




The first evening we were invited to a private dinner for about 40 people, hosted by Michelle and Shane, seen here with us. It was just great to be together again with friends from all over the world.








Everyone was so excited to be together again and also to meet lots of new friends. The dance floor was packed as it always is when we get together.

Off to Toledo and Madrid

Suzanne and I having a "tea break" in the Plaza Mayor in Madrid


We remembered that we had forgotten to pack anything warmer for the evenings so were "forced " to go shopping in Madrid.Suzanne likes this picture of me in one of my favourite places, a men's clothes shop!!


Can you believe this magnificent view of Toledo from our hotel?
