We're also in a delicate position travel-wise. We've sold our house for a profit, and settled into our condo, so that's good. But I've been downsized (7 working days to go!), and so our income has been curtailed, at least for now. As I'm now 60, it's tempting to retire.

We are booked right now, on a 14-day Marquesas trip on the PG in December. After that we will probably wait until 2010, although you never know about 2009. We could either just do a cheap Caribbean trip again in the winter, or do a land trip. David hopes to be on sabbatical in the last half of 2009, so if so, and I'm not working still, we will do a land trip or a fall crossing, something I hope.

I will go completely bonkers if I don't have a trip to plan--so I'm planning for 2010, since it will be our 30th anniversary.
