Hola!

[Sugar Bear]

Sounds like a lot of us are in the same place. Realizing life is short, and deciding to finally pursue those dreams we've had for years. I retired a year ago. We love to entertain and served up regular parties (mainly Halloween) hosting up to 300+ guests. We dreamed of having our own little dive B&B, so decided to sell it all and move sounth. We are in Honduras, building our little 8 room dive resort with an over-the-water bar & grill and a restaurant/bar and gameroom in the house. We will be the cooks for the restaurant, so I'm sure we will visit you guys often for recipe ideas and "help!" questions.

Hola, SugarBear! I know someone who built his vacation/retirement home in Costa Rica; I guess there are a lot of American expats in the region.

You're correct in the belief that there are a lot of career-changers here who've followed their dreams into culinary careers. You'll want to peruse the Professionals' forums (using the search tool will streamline things a lot).

I hope you stop in often and participate in this lively community.
Welcome!

Very nice! Welcome. This is a great site, definitely not your average chat place.

On the funny side, when you said "dive" B&B I scratched my head thinking you meant low prices, cockroaches and rats. I'm a little slow. Obviously you meant a splendid place for diving

I think you'll really enjoy this site, despite people like me.
