Go With The Flow...

(posted by ange)

Well, it seems that our 6 month Excellent European Road Trip Adventure departing August/September 2007 will be postponed. No, we didn't break up. No we didn't suddenly realize we can't travel together. No, it's not about the car versus train. No, Dave didn't decide to spend all his travel savings on the James Bond box set collection and other assorted HMV purchasing. No, we didn't decide that Europe just really isn't us and we'd rather just camp locally.

Part of this big adventure plan all along has included a stipulation of sorts. I must be stable on some sort of medication regime (when they figure out exactly what that is, I'll let you know) for at least 6 months before we go. Given that at this point, we are still trial and erring away with meds, by my calculations I will not be ready to go by August/September.

So a new plan is now in place: Ange and Dave's Excellent Travel Adventures. These excellent travel adventures may be anything from a weekend in Vegas to a Southern U.S. road trip to an all inclusive week in Mexico to shorter one country at a time Euro trips. We shall work, save, travel (for up to a month at a time), repeat. Our flexible jobs suit this perfectly, and in fact we can take our work with us if need be. We want our lives to be about working just as much as we need to and spending the rest of the time discovering this place called earth.

Things don't always go as planned, as I well know. Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow. And that is what we are doing.

Sounds like a good flow. And shorter trips means you don't have to carry as much, meaning you can take along more shoes. Or buy more along the way. Sounds like a good plan to me.
