Three years ago
we started dreaming a new dream. This week that dream has begun!
We have just
booked a 4-month family sabbatical. We are leaving in Jan. 2013 to spend 4
months traveling/working/volunteering in New Zealand, Bali Indonesia, Cambodia
and Thailand. We have spent so much time dreaming, researching and planning and
to finally book those flights seems a little surreal. It feels a little scary.
O.K., a lot scary at times. There is so much to do. There are so many people to
talk to, BeWaxed by Wendy clients, Can West Drywall clients, tenants, banks,
teachers, family, friends, government (business and personal taxes), credit card
companies, travel agents, health insurance companies, couch surfing hosts and
the lists go on….
Some days I
feel over whelmed with all there is to do. Some days I think, is this all worth
it? Then I have to remind myself how we felt during our last trip. How we have
become the family that we are because of the time we spend together and the
things we have seen and learnt on these times together. As a family, we all
desire this time of travel. But, it sometimes feels hard. It sometimes feels
tiring, like the list are to long and the time to plan is to short. But yes, it
is worth it!
