With Summer behind us and Fall fast approaching it is time to reflect on what we have done, and where we are going. 

Although the current financial markets worldwide are in upheaval, we continue to keep busy moving forward on wealth building opportunities offshore. It is our sincere hope that all of our readers are faring well under the current circumstances. It is interesting and uplifting to note that many great ideas and companies are started in down economies!  With investments, it comes down to looking at the long term over the immediate situation. It means thinking creatively instead of hiding from reality. Unstable markets create great opportunities for those looking in the right place.

Looking often means learning new things. Education is an absolute necessity during tough market conditions. At Coastal Dreams Worldwide SA, we are continuing to educate and inform people about the opportunities for offshore investment through self-directed IRA's. In fact, we have another seminar coming up in the Month of October! Furthermore, we are busy preparing for our next trip to Nicaragua scheduled for the 3rd week of January 2009. See our article below on E-Travel Adventures.

We are also actively beginning to connect with other parties in the Nicaraguan, and Latin American investment space. This is primarily due the growing presence of our blog. It is becoming apparent through our site traffic we house one of the most comprehensive and growing content collections on offshore investments in Nicaragua. So be sure to add our blog to your RSS feeds or check in often.  Pass the link to friends and colleagues to help our community grow.

On a personal note, things continue to change for both Wes and Kevin as we shift from Summer to Fall. Wes and is wife, Paula, are proud to announce the birth of their baby boy, Mathew (7 pounds 15 ounces). In addition, Kevin's oldest son Hunter (age 3) started pre-school this fall!  Its amazing how time flies.

Sincerely,

Kevin and Wes
