Living the Dream
 

Dear friends,

Exactly thirty years ago, in 1987, my husband and I took a trip around the world. That's us in Tibet. It seemed like a fitting way for two newlyweds, who loved travel more than anything, to honeymoon in epic style. Our plan was simple: go west, and keep going, until we arrive back home in Boston five months later.

Our big dream adventure didn't happen right away, though. It took us two years after our wedding to cobble enough money to afford the plane tickets and make arrangements with our employers, clients, and home we'd be leaving behind. In the era of no internet, getting cheap one-way seats on planes required old fashioned phone calls to bucket shops. Tickets for multiple airlines were snail-mailed to your house, if you were lucky, before you left town for five months with no forwarding address.

We each carried one bag – total – small enough to fit under the seat in front of us. This included my clunky Canon AE camera and enough canisters of film to get us through the entire time. Looking back, it's hard to imagine how we did it.

Traveling on a shoestring back then meant that a lot of dream places didn't make the final list. Places down under like Tahiti, Australia, and New Zealand got dropped.

Still, after all these years, we never gave up on the dream of filling in the gaps one day.

And now, three decades since that epic adventure, it seems we've cobbled enough time and money to do it again! Yes, same exact five months, much larger suitcases, and not as close to the ground. Literally. This new adventure will be taking us by sea.

We'll be going to all the places we missed, including new ones that we have since put on our bucket list. Places like Cuba and the Panama Canal, Vietnam and India, the Suez Canal and Egypt.

So you see, it pays to dream big. You never know how it will play out. And as Mary Oliver wisely points out: "Things take the time they take. Don't worry."

As you can imagine, we are giddy excited! Our ship departs Miami in just two months, on December 15.

If you'd like to join us vicariously, I'll be posting my "Slow Boat Series" every day @SpaciousWay on Instagram HERE

Happy clearing!
