I am so sorry for your loss. You and Akaisha were such an inspiration to us and we will be forever grateful to you both for sharing your knowledge. Rest in peace, Akaisha❤ -Cheryl

You guys were my inspiration to retire early at 54. Billy, please grieve but please know that you have many years left on this earth to continue learning, meeting people, loving the fresh air on a cool beach and knowing Akaisha is loving you from above. And yes, do get a pint periodically. You two have earned it with all the inspiration both you provide all of us. Just an amazing life! - Dave  

My condolences, yes, she was wonderful. We met you in Panajachel. We didn't do Mexico or Guatemala or Ajijic after traveling around in Central America for a year. My wife chose to stay in the US. We settled down in a Sun City in South Carolina and very happy with that. Good Luck, I've been through grief before after being married for 5 years only. It's tough, but you'll work your way through. Thanks for letting us know. -Marc and Marian Kneepkens

Billy, so sorry Akaisha has move on from her earth adventure. She was very loved and will be long remembered. I have always enjoyed reading your dispatches since reading the first edition of your book. Living my adventures through you two, while I continued to toil away as sooooo many of your followers do. I look forward to seeing you show up in my inbox, but damn man, take as much time as you need for yourself. Be there for yourself instead of others. And in reference to your leanings towards photo's vs. video I get it. I would also add, that I have seen many a channel move more towards doing live "sessions" to just answer questions without any editing, or something less action oriented of just sitting in front of the camera, talking about the "art of travel" or expenses or whatever. Do the next step based on what you need, not anyone else. Men's role in society is often viewed as taking care of the big picture stuff. Time to take care of yourself first. Just my 2 cents. I am reader and prefer to read, but agree video is the engagement that pays these day, if is income is desired. And of course it is enjoyable to listen and get to know the person and what they are like. But you can get there through the written word as you have done for decades. Stay strong, take time to grieve, and do not work to make this community happy, before you have taken time for yourself. Love the quote about being unsure... - Kevin
