How do you leave your ‘normal’ life for a year? Who chooses to do that? Your cozy nest that you have worked for 30+ years to make just right, your land based activities, your beloved Miata….. Landscaping and mowing the lawn! Oh yeah, that’s how you do it!! No holes to dig, trees to chainsaw, weeds to pull…. Whew! Happy to have those behind me;-) Emotionally, it’s a roller coaster and in the end, at least for me, it’s a return to a feeling I had several times in my life; that feeling of being more alive, more aware, more conscious of my surroundings, more connected, less automatic, less taken for granted, less filtered due to familiarity. I think that is why people travel. Not just to see what you haven’t seen or experienced, but also to just get out of the normality of daily life. Now add marine living/travel aspects and you are in a very different place.
