If you think life is passing you by, it's time to catch up. The Good Life is closer than you think.

Making the Decision to Travel

It all started with some friends and a margarita.  Or three.

And the discussion turned to travel and how we couldn’t really plan on big trips until we were retired.

Or could we?

As late 30-somethings we have been focused on career and building security for over 15 years.  We have had the luxury of some great travel, but never more than 10 days.

  • What would it be like to travel for a year while we are in prime health?
  • Could we interrupt our careers to do this?
  • What happens to our regular life while we are gone?

The third margarita made us bold, and we decided while walking home that we would do it – celebrate our 40th birthdays during this year of travel.  We would go everywhere, do everything!

The next morning, I wondered if our enthusiasm would hold up to the cold light of day.  And you know what?  It did.  So join us as we take the next 2 years to save and plan for our dream trip around the world.
