I love that story even though it's a little sad she didn't make it there. You did though and so that's something I guess.
I've been to the Western Front in Belgium and France, Vietnam and trekked the Kokoda Track which I have written about. Very moving experiences and ones that I would recommend all Aussies to do.
It's really odd for me to hear people say that, given copious amounts of money, they wouldn't know what to do with it...No matter how much I had I would never run out of places to visit, things to learn and experiences to have. The sort of stuff you mention above. We're given so little time here on the planet and even if I spent my entire life seeking out these experiences I think I'd never have enough time to do all that I would like. Of course, I don't have copious amounts of money either, which limits me somewhat.
Sadly the time it takes to get copious amounts of money defeats the purpose of getting it . Could not agree more with your sentiment however. Life is nothing but experiences to live though and remember. Sometimes it can be hard to see that. Even this time we are spending in lock-down trapped on a yacht worrying about where we are going to sail for hurricane season will hopefully one day make a good story. It is certainly changing who I am psychologically; for better or worse.
Hmm, sounds like you guys have some big decisions to make. I hope you work it out. We had a couple sail home last week after weeks at sea, unable to find a place willing to take the. It all worked out and their marriage is still intact.
I hope you guys work it out and find somewhere to lay up...I'm hoping you find a deserted island...And find hidden pirate treasures! That would be a post I want to read about.
