There never seems to be enough time to get everything done before embarking upon a big event in life. That's especially true when the plan, our plan, involves multiple major moves including downsizing, selling a home and cars, shipping belongings half way around the world, getting young adults re-settled and outfitting a boat for extended cruising. No matter how much time is allowed for such major life changes, it is never simple, easy or enough.
Robert has dreamed for some time of journeying down the Intracoastal Waterway to Florida and on to the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Once we leave Maryland, our plan will involve many steps before we reach Sydney, Australia. While we need to have some kind of plan, we also plan to keep our options open where possible to allow for any changes in circumstances. So begins our slow journey back to Australia, after 12 years in the U.S.
