I just saw that you dropped a comment in here, I am not sure if you will be back to see it but it means a lot to me that you stopped by and said those nice things. Kinda funny about my writing, and to be honest with you , I have a really good editor :) . My wife Pamela is an writer and she rocks at it.
I have got so many memories of life in the islands, and a lot from cycling and running the shops, (I try to forget about some of the others!) Hah
Take Care.

There are so many funny and amazing stories from life in the islands. You guys I am sure have your own from your experiences in the islands.

Like so many other people, I love your positive attitude.  Even if it wasn’t the best financial experience, it made for great stories (and I have a feeling you have a lot more great stories from growing up in the islands)!  
Can’t wait to read more from you. :)

So all you can do is learn, go forward, and do the best you can.

Really, I love it. Thanks for all your kind thoughts and support of Pamela also.
I really did learn a lot with this gig, and while I sense you are the type of person that is going to to just fine on their own, I  would like to sign up to be your FREE business advisor on that bike tour business. If there is anything I can do to help, or if you ever need to bounce ideas of of someone about island businesses, I am your guy.

I really appreciate you taking time out of your super busy schedule to lay down a couple awesome posts for us over here at Loving the Bike, and I sure hope there are more coming my way in 2012.  You’re a good friend, excellent husband and dad, rockstar athlete, and one inspiring writer…keep up the great work.

I’m hoping my bike tour business goes a whole lot better than your bike shop.

Darryl
