Imagine sitting on the back deck of a yacht, soaking up Pacific sunshine off the coast of Mexico with a cold Margarita in one hand, and the love of your life in the other. No more work - just the pure bliss of retirement and endless summer. Swimming with dolphins at sunset in the Sea of Cortez. A beach in every bay, and a party in every port. This was the life of Tom and Jackie Hawks in 2004. It was the kind of life everyone dreams of...The kind of life a person would just kill to have.
