Let's just say this blog is a diary of two women and their journey toward retirement. After seeing the movie Julie & Julia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjvJHsJD8ic, I realized that I needed a way to keep focused, eye on the prize so to speak. Retirement age is coming up and I don't have a plan. I'm not a writer, in fact I've never had the desire to write. But now with facebook, twitter, & blogspot, I am always writing something. After all, when writing on these sites I get to talk about myself constantly.
I met Mary a couple of years ago at the Italian Cultural Institute. We were both attending Italian language & cooking classes. Mary is a travel specialist and goes to Italy 6-8 times a year to do research. Not a bad job if you can get it! Italy, food, travel. I, on the other hand am a caterer. My business caters lunches for pharmaceutical reps. Also not a bad job if you can get it! Food, no week-end, nights or holidays.
But with the economy as it is, people are not traveling abroad as often. The drug companies are under scrutiny so the lunch business isn't what it used to be. So we think it is time to merge our talents and develop a business that enables us to pay for our travel and food addictions.
We are both business women, concerned with the economy especially that of
California, so why not promote tourism in California! What better place to start than historic Catalina! But first we had to do a little research! That's what we like to call anything that involves food and travel.I have some knowledge of the island. I have travelled that 26 miles many times. My in-laws have lived there for 30 years, and my daughter-in-law to be, runs her family's hotel in Avalon, www.hotel-metropole.com/. Anything we don't know they can tell us or know someone who can.
Sounds good, right?
