“The best day of your life is the one which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it’s an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”
-Bob Moawad
Just Say Yes.
Our RTW trip is fast approaching and as it gets closer and closer I find myself thinking a lot about my goals for the trip; what I want to accomplish and how I want to live my life over the next couple of years. I recently read an article about the power of saying yes. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I found the article, but the gist of it was this: Saying no always leads to a dead end. Saying yes, on the other hand, always leads to something else.
“Nobody on his deathbed ever said, ‘I wish I had spent more time at the office.'”
Remember That Life is Long.

Daydreaming About Travel
Clearly doing some daydreaming today…
“Take leaps of faith — even when you don’t know where you are going to land. You are going to develop so much courage and trust in yourself as you take risks. It’s okay not to be 100 percent sure — 51 percent sure is enough to take the leap.”

Why Now Is the Best Time to Travel The World
Yes, we’re going to be doing something beyond amazing for the next year and a half but I am so proud of us for having the courage to take this chance, because most people don’t.
"Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what's right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in."
-Andrew Zimmern
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
