The Around the World
trip is over, and we are getting back into the swing of
"reality", or at least, our version of it. We
are traveling on shorter trips, and doing a few presentations as
well.
We
moved to Boulder, Colorado in 2004, and are loving it. We even have a "bunk room" for travelers, designed for weary travelers to rest and recharge. If you have the chance to come visit the Colorado Rockies, you
will see why this is a paradise for us!
We've built an award winning residential real estate business where we work hard for 10 months, then travel for 2-months every year: www.RatayRealty.com

Records® 2005 just hit the bookstand in

- We
moved to Boulder, Colorado in the summer of 2004 -- a decision we're
thrilled we made! The people, attitude, scenery,
environment, quality-of-life, and riding here are all
incredible!! Erin is working at the University of
Colorado (CU) in the office of career services, while Chris is
selling residential real estate and investment properties with RE/MAX.
- An excellent article
appeared in the Spring 2004 St. John's University alumni
magazine.
- In March 2004 we
spent 5-weeks scouting 8 western
states in search of a new place to live. As much as we
enjoy New York and its proximity to family and friends, we
wanted to try someplace different, hopefully with a better
"quality-of-life".
The result: Boulder was at the top of our list (with
Portland and San Luis Obispo tied for second).
- Erin has been
doing consulting work in Career Counseling since last year,
including an upcoming assignment at the UN, all helping to re-establish her contacts while trying to slow the leak
in our funds. When we move to Boulder, she will apply for counselor positions in Boulder & Denver. Chris
has been working on their book and putting together a multimedia
presentation about the trip.
- In January 2004
we went to Europe, which included a visit to Guinness World
Records® to review our claim. In
February we were awarded the record for "Longest motorcycle ride (team)"

- In Oct/Nov 2003
Chris went to Southern Africa on a 6-week scouting trip with www.AyresAdventures.com
- An article
appeared in new adventure section of Sports Illustrated in Oct
2003.
