I hope I will be retiring in a little over a year. Right now I am looking at Cebu but I will look around more after I get there before I pick a permanent place. I am leaving tomorrow. I’ll be there untill mid October. I haven’t been to Mindinao before but I want to make it there one of these days.

Tom,

Welcome here! You are retiring soon?? that’s great. Hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines. Which city/town you are planning to settle down?? I’m from Mati, 3hours drive from Davao City. My parents house still there but their families were originally from Davao City. We will be going there in a month for vacation. Our retirement house will be build in Davao area btw.

I lived in San Antonio when my dad was at Fort Sam Houston. Haven’t been there in a while either. Look I’m a slice of pizza. I love it. I couldn’t find anything in Texas when I was looking for work so Phoenix was as close as I could get.

Where are you at. I grew up in Killeen. Haven’t been there in a while. I am in Phoenix now and planning on making the move to Cebu within the next 12 to 18 months. Drop in on my blog sometime and tell me what you think.

Danny,

Thanks for stopping by. Yes we are still in the USA, South Texas. I spent a couple years of high school and college days as well as lived in miami beach for a total of mmmm 7 or 8 years. Love it down there but much to expensive to live there and try to retire early just doesnt make financial sense. Luckily my work will allow me to live where ever.

I hope by the day i move to the philippines the only work Ill be doing is golf and family, possibly with some consulting work on the side.

Stick around, there is going to plenty of information regarding the move and things youll find upon moving. Stay Tuned and thanks again for stopping in

Kamusta ka Rich,

This looks like another great site for those of us planning on making our home in the Philippines. So I am guessing that you are still in the USA right now? That is also great that at the age of 37 years old, you are able to retire full-time to Philippines, or will you still be conducting business from the Philippines?
I was hoping to have already been in the Philippines, but the economy has held me back, at least for now. I also live in South Florida, and things are pretty bad now, as far as jobs go. Not sure what work you are in Rich, and reading one of Bruce’s blog comments you left, saying that you have more work than you can handle…that is great.
Well, when you do make the move to PI, I wish you and Vanessa the best of wishes, and your family as well.

Salamat kaayo,
Danny

Bruce,

Don’t worry about it, he is just being childish! He likes to act like that sometimes. He is actually kidding.
