Getting Ready

I admit, the thought of quitting my job and taking a year off to travel the world is both terrifying and exhilarating. Giving up the stability of a steady paycheck , benefits, a permanent place to call home...it's taken some time to get my head around it. I still don't know if the idea has completely sunk in, and maybe it won't until a few weeks into the trip, but each day I get more and more excited about the opportunities that lay ahead. The itinerary is set, the tickets are in hand, and we have started the first round of vaccinations. Each day the trip becomes a little more real. The next four months are going to fly by...
