Sabbatical

I tend to try to talk Marta in to a sabbatical year more and more often. I would like for us to sell our stuff, jump on Katie and spend a year or so in the Caribbean and there abouts to come together as a family.

We are together all right but some of the memories and skills and fights and hard times we would have to deal with is a thrill I'm searching for.

Ultimately I would like to sell all we have and go around the world on a 3-5 year voyage. Marta knows this and promised me before we were married that she's on board with it. I never gave her a time frame nor did she give me one, we're not dead yet and in all honesty I had after kids in mind.

Then I came across some articles about cruising with kids and I met some cruising kids and their parents.

We had a long talk about it the other night and Marta listened to me, had some really good points of why not and promised to think about it.

The next day she tells me that if I really want to I can take a year off by my self and her and the kids would be right here to welcome me back.

Not what I had in mind but I will hold this against her if I ever get this opportunity, because this I will do in a heart beat with a big smile on my face.
