PHILLY NEWS!

When I moved onto the Villa Vie Odyssey, last September, I was hopeful that this would be by home, for the next 3 to 6 or as much as 15 years. But I knew it was also a gamble, and kind of an experiment in if this lifestyle was for me and my next chapter in life. I was most concerned about was I going to find a new community and group of people, that I would enjoy and make new friendships with easily. I also knew with a start up company things were bound to be challenging at times, and questioned would I have the tolerance to overlook those inconviences. I am sooo happy to report, that yes I truly am enjoying all the elements and no longer question, if I made the right decision. For me this is working and well.  Therefore, with these realizations, I have decided to cut my safety net of keeping my home / condo in Philadelphia. Last week I put it on the real estate market. Below is the listing.  It's a great place, in a fabulous building.  I was really happy for 20 years here! I moved in back in June of 2005. So PLEASE tell your friends and family if anybody knows anybody interested or looking !! I am also selling all the furniture and furnishings with it or separately, depending on the Buyer's Offer.

I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!
