Jack the trucking things sounds like it would be perfect for you and your wife. The commerical tourist is a good way to describe it. It sounds like you have all the knowledge needed to make a good go of it. Good luck.

I consider anything above -15 celcius warm around here! The minus single digits are just gravy in January. I can't wait for our holiday to sunny California in Mar! I'm hoping the meltdown will have a good start by the time we get back!
