Reaction & Reality

When you tell people you are going to quit your job, pack up all your stuff, and live on the road for a while in a vehicle the size of a shoe box, you normally get 2 reactions:

1. Oh my God! That is awesome! You guys are going to have an amazing time!

2. Are you nuts!

The reality is both and a lot of shades of gray in between. And all of those emotions come and go at such a rapid rate most of the time you don`t quite know what to feel. For us the bottom line is Why Not?  We could stay home, keep working, buy some new toys or redo a room in the house, or we can meet new people, see new places and accumulate life instead of stuff.  The reality is, we want to live and for us that means quitting the job, and living on a shoe string in a shoe box.  Perhaps in the words of the brilliant Robert Frost;  we are “Taking the Road Less Traveled”.
