My wife and I have always travelled a lot.
When the kids came along we kept heading off.
Now the kids are grown up and leading their own lives we are experiencing another stage of travel.
We're having a really good time and gettting into more remote areas now.
Still planning, still dreaming.
So many people find reasons not to get out and discover what's out there until it's too late. Mortgage, work, family will always keep you at
home, if you let them.
My father in law died 6 weeks before he retired, at work. He had saved all his dreams for when he retired but didn't make it.
I've seen so many old blokes struggling with stuffed backs, knees and every other problem while they try to do the trip of their dreams after retirement.
We're doing it all now in case we don't get the chance later.
Besides, once you get out into the remote areas you get addicted to it. We keep getting drawn to the parts of Aus few people ever get to see. The massive
views, the old pubs, ancient landscapes and the really genuine people are always flashing through my mind when I'm not out there.
It's a great country we live in and sharing it with special people is a great experience.
Have fun,
Steve
