About this blog

Well we finally did it, no more working for a year or two...

Instead we plan to see new places, broaden our horizons and avoid exotic diseases.

Why? Carpe Diem or as Mallory said "'cause it's there"

Alternatively as Red from Shawshank Redemption said "Get busy Livin' or get busy dyin'..."
