Angel Some advice....if you were in my shoes!

Hi to all ppruners [yep ...a newbie for sure]
I've finally taken the leap of faith and decided.... It's now or NOW!

Background. I completed my [FAA] PPL in 2006 [at 26] and have not flown since. In short -wife, baby, mortgage and just Lack of Faith all contributed to that LONG pitstop. However, ALL [not many] who knows me, knows... I just can't let it go. It just has to be done. Enough sap!

I completed the first stage in 50 hrs [a few weeks in the States] but I'm NOT entirely confident that I can simply pick up where I left off after 5 yrs. I'm currently battling with the question of revalidating my FAA [in US or UK] and starting the ATPL's or completing the JAA PPL to ensure I have a solid foundation to build on. Thoughts?

I will be doing it modular, but with HASTE! I know that time is against me.
But .......the Lord is my Sheperd, I SHALL not want!

Many thanks
Israel
