It was honestly hard for me to leave cruising and the boat, but the chance to live in another part of the world, and to expose the kids to that and another language, well two, plus getting their EU passports...well, it was a no-brainer, which doesn't say that it isn't hard at times, but overall, there was no question about it. We can go cruising again if we want to, this opportunity may not appear again though.<BR/><BR/>DD: Cruising isn't for everyone, there's no question there. The Bahamas are way cooler with your own boat than on a fly in tour, but they are still pretty amazing on land. Expensive though if you don't sail in.orenetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616103982088424715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8311151968716514867.post-62684907035431096822007-02-26T19:53:00.000-08:002007-02-26T19:53:00.000-08:00I haven't been either to Spain or the Bahamas, but...I haven't been either to Spain or the Bahamas, but for some reason Spain seems to entice me more ... yup.

Did you know that young children who are bilingual end up with an advantage later in life in terms of learning ability, brain function? I forget all the details but I've read about this a few times and was impressed (and thrilled) because my youngest is bilingual. And when you add in a musical skill, it's even better for them!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110235078325434919noreply@blogger.com
