Participant[quote=stockstradr]We did something kinda similar, but it was only two months, not a full year.
My wife and I backpacked through Western Europe for two months prior to our beginning to start having children (Now, a year later we just had our first child)
Back then we decided to just GO AHEAD and force our employers to give us that two months off, no matter the career cost. We so DO NOT regret that.
Looking back there are SO FEW opportunities in our lives to take that dream adventure vacation involving several months or more.
My only regret? We should have instead taken off SIX MONTHS traveling through Europe!
Our favorite memory of travling in Western Europe?
Hiking in the Swiss Alps! [/quote]
You can still do it with a small baby! My good friend and her husband backbacked through Ireland with their 4 month old – he just slept in the sling the whole time and nursed when he needed. It was a dream vacation they will never forget!
BTW – Congratulations on being a first time dad! Isn’t it incredible!

ParticipantDid John Doe live in the house with the intention of it being his personal residence? If he did, then it might be nonrecourse. Or did he purchase the house as an investment and rented it right away? I believe FormerSD is right about an investment property being recourse. I think John Doe should talk to a real estate attorney about his protections before he stops making payments.

ParticipantMy mom was widowed and I was an only child, we lived in a 900 square foot house – it was perfect for us.
I really liked my San Diego house, it felt spacious with 1600 sq ft – 3 bed/2 bath. The only issue is that my son has asperger’s (mild autism) and has trouble keeping his modulating his voice (he get very loud), so it can be difficult to get away from the noise. Otherwise I think 1600 sq ft is great for a family of 4.September 23, 2008 at 3:07 PM in reply to: Can someone tell me how to do a poll on here? Or maybe just… #274636seattle-relo
