Three years ago today we set sail from New York aboard a cruise ship. Our initial planned destination – 39 days later – was Athens, but that turned out just to be the starting point of a summer exploring Europe from the Black Sea to the Polar Ice Cap.
In our mid-forties, we had quit our jobs in Seattle, stored or deposed our things, and set out with four suitcases and a strong desire for an adventure.
Along the way, we wrote this blog to keep in touch with family and friends.
Five months later, we sailed back into to New York City. Soon we landed in Kansas City, Missouri with jobs in advertising and IT consulting, as well as a mortgage, a second car, and long hours at work — road warrior work.
Since our self-funded summer sabbatical – or mid-life crisis, as some called it – we’ve managed to continue having regular travel adventures. And we continue to get positive feedback from the blog.
So, three years later, still enjoying life’s journey, we are recommitting to blogging daily to share our travel discoveries, hoping to inspire others as much as our favorite bloggers inspire us.
