Getting Caught Up

So we were able to rent out our 2nd home to some wonderful tenants. We looked after the clean-up, however the landscaping still has to be finished. I've been working on some smaller projects recently - with the downturn in the economy and the credit crunch, we have to ensure our planning is very detailed. We're focusing on getting out of debt (credit cards, loans etc) so we can look to pay down our houses as quickly as possible. Travel plans will be altered as well to reflect the weakened dollar. My recent trip really hit me hard - next trip will probably be domestic or a shortened trip to the EU in the off-season. Rita took a new job she'll be working as an EA at our hotel - the added income will help stabilize us through these tough times. The summer weather is right around the corner here in Vegas. We're already covering ourselves in sunscreen as the temperatures are slated to hit the 30s (C) and its only going to get warmer. Planning for upcoming summer events is already underway for both of us - we're looking for short trips. We'll be photographing events in the summer in Vancouver, so that will provide a much needed break from the extreme heat we're doomed to experience. I'm looking for possibly going to some outdoor (camping) destinations with some pals so I can relax with a nice lager by the fire, lake, river...whatever.

Back soon,
