One if by land. Two if by sea.

It's two.

Brace yourselves. This is the plan.

We're buying a sailboat.

Nope. I don't know how to sail. Nope. Sam doesn't, either.

But we're about to learn. We aren't complete idiots. We have some free lessons in the works. And we have been doing tons of research.

We're going to sail the Caribbean. Seriously.

Blue water has been our dream forever. And you can't get more blue water than you can by sailing on a boat. Makes sense, right?

And adventurers that we are, we're going to visit every place that our heart desires. We'll start with a small boat and eventually upgrade as we have more money.

Here's the beauty of the plan. I can earn all the money we need with the new company. We've checked the budget. And it looks like the average cruisers spend around $1000 per month to survive.

Imagine how much money we can put away with that cost of living. Yeah, we should be doing really well really soon.

We're downsizing our life, in some ways. We're selling off everything. It will be the first time I haven't owned a car in 20 years. Strange, huh. And yet really exciting. We're going to try new things...like diving and underwater photography. We're going to simplify. No time schedule...for the most part. No excess. Enjoying the bounty of the ocean.

Sam is going to learn to eat fish. I am going to have to remember how to clean it. And he has promised me lobsters. Yes, plural.

It's going to be a whole new way of life. And we're really excited about it. This is why I named the blog what I did. This is the kind of life I have always dreamed of.

Don't bother trying to kill this dream. Don't even think of trying to talk us out of it.

We're contacting potential sponsors while we prepare the boat for the journey. And we're working on lining up advertisers for the new site. This...all while we work on unloading our stuff and tying up loose ends here.

I'm exhausted and I've never been so happy.

So, go ahead, let the questions begin...
