R2I is happening - WOW

[Nattusbs]

Hi all

Finally, at that stage of my life (2nd innings of professional career). Here's the status:

1. House in So Cal sold, in escrow which will close Dec 20th.
2. One way air ticket SFO-FRA-HYD purchased for myself, departure SFO Dec 31st - New Year celebration in the skies over Canada/Greenland?
3. Not taking any appliances or flat screen TV - prefer to buy these in India even if they cost more - IMO less headache.
4. Booked Indian railway (IR) ticket for Jan 7th to final destination through IR secure website, pd by AMEX, got E-ticket - awesome service by IR.
5. Busy packing/sorting out crap collected over the years.
6. Keeping IRA & Roth IRA accounts here (Vanguard & Fidelity - combined CAGR of entire portfolio as of close yesterday is 15.8% - sincere advice - do not stick only with index funds).

Cheers

Go to Fry's electronics and buy one each of every small item from USB thumb drives to bluetooth headphones.
