First Entry. Hello I am John and I am a European that cannot wait to go to the Americas. I am a boat headed to the new western lands and cannot contain my excitement. I am on this boat due to some early investors in gold and silver. I have to bring some back for them and everything is good. My wife and children are back at home in Europe waiting for me to return and see if I like the land and we should move to the new land. I want to build a house over there and have my family come to live with me and have a better life than we ever could in the small filthy room we lived in.

I do believe they are going by the name Virginia Company or something but I am just glad I can finally go back and call the Americas my home
