Thanks, I think I need to stay put for a little while longer. We haven't had a real chance to enjoy Guam yet and I want to try my hand at being an unpublished author (no expectation of success but I can dream). Wakana and I will keep talking about it until we nail down a plan. Her student visa is up at the end of the year and then she will have to go back to Japan to get a visitor's visa. After that, who knows? Maybe we will use our 'round-the-world trip to research new homes. One possibility is England. I have toyed with the idea of living on a narrowboat in the canal system there. If I use the rest of this year to reduce my possessions to the absolute minimum and put the rest into storage I might be able to try that.

And I could always go home to the farm and take care of my parents. That would relieve my sisters of some of their responsibility. However, I really don't want to go live in northern Maine and I am sure Wakana doesn't like that idea either.
