After a quick lets get lost leaving Bondi, we set … Continue reading On the Road: Day One

Date written: 12.18.11 AUS I’m somewhere on the Pacific Highway. We just left Buladelah to stretch our legs and to get out of Gordon the Campervan. He smells of stale cooked fish. It’s not so bad after your nose adjusts to it but then a reminder will hit us just to remind us of Smelly Ass Gordon. BTW that’s our given name to him. He … Continue reading Somewhere Out There
Date in AUS: Dec 18th Time: 10:56 pm Port Macquarie was very nice and as peaceful as it was…I didn’t have to stop there. It just wasn’t my scene. Right now, we are at a campervan spot and it brought back instant childhood memories of when I lived in GA in a campervan (that would be a camp site or camp ground in the US). … Continue reading Thanks for the Memories

In a few short hours, I’ll be on plane heading to the far side of the world. I’m still worried I don’t have enough money, but as Jimmy Buffett sings…“breathe in, breathe out, move on…according to my watch the time is now…” All I have is now. Not the what ifs of tomorrow or the mistakes of the past. The time is now. That is … Continue reading The Time is Now
