How I found Ecuador
I have wanted for some time share the story of how I found Ecuador. I have been a bit of an adventurer all of my life. I had a very good life in the USA, and created a number of successful small companies in my spare time during the off season of my 30 year career as a professional race car driver and race car builder. In my final 3 years, I set 158 international track records with my Jet powered Funny Cars, and was able to travel the world and get paid for it! I tell people that I had fun for a living and I got paid for it too! I also started a team to build the World Land Speed Record Challenger, the American Eagle One. This is a 50,000 H.P. jet powered vehicle that we built to go after the Unlimited World Land Speed Record. I appeared on the Regis and Kathi Lee Show, Jay Leno and many others.

Now this is Paradise!
When people arrive at Coco Beach Village and walk the grounds, it is only a matter of minutes before we here phrases like, from Mark B.; “This is exactly what I’ve been looking for”, “I love it here “and” the web pictures just don’t do it justice”. Most recently Leroy S. stated; “My back has hurt every day for 50 years, and the three days I’ve been at Coco Beach, I’ve had no pain!” He called his wife right in front of us and told her, “Pack up, put a for sale sign on the house, we are moving to the beach!” (click here for the rest of the story) |
Remember:"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow - what a ride!"
