Since my last posting of May 9th, a lot has happened.
Michael and I had decided that in 2024 we would try traveling more, and see how remote work from different places would work out.
We also thought that we would take 2024 to decide where we would be making our official headquarters.
That was the plan. While in Florida in May, we were driving around in nearby towns in Florida, when we saw some balloons indicating an open house. We decided to stop and check it out.
While there, the realtor mentioned another condo for sale. We drove to the other condo, which was 30 minutes away. We fell in love with it. We made an offer and after some negotiating we got the place.
Michael sold his place in New Smyrna. I am selling one of mine in NY. His place went fast, mine has been in the market for a couple of weeks already.
Our new place is already ours as of 2 days ago 🙂 but we will not move in until we return from Brazil. We are going to Brazil on Wednesday for at least 2 months.
I was forgetting to mention, at the beginning of June I took my first cruise and I loved, loved, loved. It was a MSC cruise to Bahamas. I enjoyed everything about it, and plan on taking more cruises in the future.
Below are some pictures. I hope to have more time to write from Brazil. It has been insane for me. I will give more details in the future.
Thank you for stopping by.






Congrats on your new home, travel, and adventures Ana.

Wow, so much happened in such a short time. Your house buying and selling goes sure fast there, here it never goes faster than 6 months. Congratulations for your house together. Fantastic.
A cruise is on my list, so now with your comments I definitely want to do it too. You are so lucky you can work remotely from anywhere. Travel is the best I agree, we are doing the same. Enjoy every minute.
Have a wonderful time in Brazil you two, enjoy your parents and everythign you do. You became a little whirlwind.
Big hugs and I am soooo happy for you!

Hi Ute,
In Florida it goes pretty fast, as it is not necessary to get attorneys involved. His condo was in the market for 1 week, he got an offer, and it closed 2 weeks later. Mine is taking longer. I have an offer now, so we will see if that will work out.
I had never thought of a cruise, but I came up with that idea to avoid being in a camper for one week with Michael, my sister and a cousin. Too much driving and too many strong personalities in a small space. The cruise was the best idea, and I was surprised of how much I enjoyed everything about it.
Thank you so much for the great wishes and for always being in my corner. Blessings!
