Akaisha, thanks so much for this. My dad just died and though my plan has always been to get back to rving full time and traveling overseas a bit, I find myself doubting myself. You have always been an inspiration to me and still are. I'm going to closely monitor what's going on between my ears. Robyn Dolan

Dear Akaisha and Billy, I am writing to thank you for your wonderful newsletter and for the inspiration you provide to millions of people. Please know that I am praying for your continued healing and for your journey as you serve as guides to the life that is available to us all. Thank you for everything you do. Best regards, Glenn

Dearest Akaisha, We’ve never met, but I’ve followed you and Billy’s newsletter for some time. You are such an incredible inspiration. I, too, landed in California in the early 70’s at the age of 20 in search of an extraordinary life—not wanting to end up barefoot and pregnant in my small town in Michigan. HaHa! My life turned out pretty well. But Oh…YOUR life! Truly extraordinary! And you’ve shared it with the amazing and devoted Billy. The two of you have such a rare bond and have experienced what most only dream of. Amy Tan once said, “Chance is the first step you take. Luck is what follows.” And boy have the two of you done that! Akaisha, you are one extremely honest and brave woman. My heart goes out to you. Life can be such a crap shoot. Someone said, “Fair is where the pony rides are.” Ain’t that the truth. Bittersweet. I’m praying that you do not suffer in pain. I love all that you expressed in your message regarding attitude…reminds me to appreciate each glorious moment ‘cause there are no guarantees of what tomorrow will bring. Please know that you’ve been a positive influence in so many people’s lives, mine included. Many blessings, Debra Capitan

Dearest Akaisha and Billy--I just want to let you know you've both been such an inspiration for so long, and you continue to be as you face this most difficult challenge. You're both in my heart and thoughts, and I wish you all the strength, peace, healing, and love you need. Kathy Johnson

Retire Early Lifestyle Music Video NEW!   Getting things in order - My Letter to Family My intimate Journey with Cancer Part 9 Billy and Akaisha Kaderli So much has happened in these recent three short weeks that my life and how I am living it has changed forever.

One way tickets on Winair per person is +/- $250. 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.
