We kept 1 car and put our furniture into storage. We also had the cash from selling the house, but put a limit on how much we would spend trying to get the job. We ended up getting an amazing job and after 18 months work and 6 months of solid travel, we came home with more money then we left with, it was a gamble, but it worked. A little bit mad, but hey life is for living! Cheer Mel Hi Jay!

I'd be terrified. Jay That all sounds really cool but do you guys have anything left after selling all your assets and doing all that stuff. I’d be terrified.

I'm far to precious to kite in the Melbourne winter these days. I've been to Wales and it must be freezing kiting there, you must be keen. Flat water is fantastic, but I also love the surf, although I can't confess to being that great in the surf! Richard, thanks for the encouragement and likewise, thanks for stopping by my blog to make a comment. Cheers Mel Peter, you have made me feel like a wussbag!

I reckon you could make a movie out of our lives sometimes, wait until you read the follow up posts. We keep a fairly comprehensive dairy of our travels and it gets pretty funny at times. Sharing very close and sometimes way too cosy quarters with your partner for almost two years can be highly amusing... in hindsight...lol Forgot to mention we did manage to video parts of the trip, just need to convince David to do some more editing so we can get them up on you-tube.

Not to mention it's winter at the moment and traditionally no wind or gale force. Where do you kite, when you get the chance? Would love to throw in my job as well. Cheers Mel Hi Peter,

Its good to see there are people like you out there with the balls to go get! I thought my life was colourful, reading something like that makes me look boring! Are you still doing a lot of kitesurfing? I hardly get out these days.. :( Perhaps if I can throw in my job soon things might change...... Wow!
