Hi Akaisha & Billy, You are often in my thoughts. Several years ago, I had the privilege of interviewing you when you were in Saigon, and that conversation has stayed with me ever since. The way you both choose to live — with such intention, freedom, and joy — continues to inspire me deeply. I am holding Akaisha close in prayer, believing for vibrant health, renewed strength, and many more beautiful chapters ahead. With love and gratitude, Cynthia

Just read that you are returning to the hospital. My prayers & thoughts for you are in my daily prayers & I pray for guidance for the doctors. May God guide you in your decisions. I just want to Thank You for your letter it meant alot to hear from you. We have been friends for many years & I have cherished that friendship. Please keep in touch when you can. Love & Prayers, Kay

An inspiring letter letting us know what’s going on in your life right now.  Thank you. Such good news that you have an excellent and trustworthy team working with you.  And the power of Grace too.   All my love, Vicki

Greetings Akaisha & Billy: I am sure all your readers will understand your decision. Many of us have benefited from all your helpful and friendly advice. You both have had a great ride in life as well as with Retire Early Lifestyle adventure you offered all of us. Personally you gave me the courage to retire. I was not as fortunate as you both were as I retired at age 68. I never thought I could live the life my spouse and I do now. We have been traveling frequently the past 4 years visiting Alaska, Hawaii, Tahiti, Europe, South America, Australia, Bermuda, Los Cabos, New Mexico, New Zealand and Galapagos. We are headed on an expedition to Antarctica with Viking followed a visit to Patagonia. In May we tour Amsterdam then cruise to the Nordics. In September Paris for 5 days then fly to Kenya for 9 day Great Northern Migration, we fly to Capetown for 4 days in the wine country then join a group for 16 day safari in South Africa. We have trips for 2027 booked to Asia and Iceland/Greenland and for 2028 Japan. Thanks to both of you... I am sorry your health impacts your quality of life. You are both WONDERFUL people and are paradigms for us married folks to emulate. BTW if your travels ever take you Florida you are welcome to stay at our home. Stay strong, and may God Bless you both.  Ed  & Kathy Kierce

Rising above one tropical island and flying to another we see boats moored in the harbor, a cruise ship docked on Sint Maarten, beautiful sky and sea, and the lush flora of St. Kitts upon landing.
