Plan, plan and keep planning- HOWEVER,...Great Post. Plan, plan and keep planning- HOWEVER, be open for change if and WHEN it comes your way! The beauty (and frustration) of this lifestyle is that it is constantly moving and changing, a bit like a jellyfish :) <br /><br />XOXLast Paradisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378766739082927817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-48575180703243584012009-12-09T20:03:27.772-06:002009-12-09T20:03:27.772-06:00Oy - those quotes.

From someone who is *this* close to starting the sailing adventure, and who has been watching her husband prepare for this adventure for the last 3.5yrs, I can say that both quotes are 100% true. A month away from our D-day, our lives have become extremely one-dimensional. Everything is about the boat. Every decision comes down to the trip. Not to mention all of the things we have set aside along the way, all in preparation and anticipation for this trip. We have just recently had the conversation (and not for the first time!) of - is it all worth it? Friendships have been tested, opportunities turned down, family plans set aside... but then again, had these last three years not been that way - was it not for the hardwork, dedication and planning - we wouldn't be going anywhere!!! Where one door stays open, there are a thousand other doors opening and closing behind you. Since Matt dreamed up this trip, we've all gone through numerous different jobs, I graduated from law school, Matt and I got married, Jon's girlfriend get pregnant, a friendship was destroyed, another was tested to the extreme, we invested $40k plus, etc. etc. One thing we have learned for sure - you never know what tomorrow will bring!!! I can't wait to see how your "plans" work out :)Karenhttp://www.weatherhelmed.comnoreply@blogger.com
