Life is short. No matter how hard you try ~ you can’t turn back time. As I get older and think about “times past”, the last thing I want to do is wish I had worked less and played more, smelled more flowers and had more breathtaking moments.

The gypsy spirit that runs through our souls has been calling to us for the past several years. Finally, we decided it was time to act on it. It’s time to leave our daily routines, put the electronics away, pack our bags and experience the nomadic life that bonded H and me in the first place!

Howard and I are both fortunate to work for amazing companies that gave us time off to live our dreams and support our wanderlust.  The 3 of us are embarking on the adventure of a lifetime.  We are so excited to get it started and to share the world of travel with our daughter Cat. We want to broaden her view of the people in it and to start our vagabond voyage.

We will be gone for 28 days and have tentatively mapped out 11 countries to explore. Flights are confirmed, Euro Rail passes have arrived, passports are out of the safe and we have booked our first 2 nights accommodation. We will plan the rest as we go along. I am really looking forward to seeing what our next month has in store for us! It is our time!
