Episode 16 marks the end of Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2. Sandwiched between a haul out and a launch, we take a trip to Europe. We check out Oktoberfest for the second time. We check out Salzburg. So pretty! And then, we take a plane to Porto, Portugal to begin our Camino de Santiago.
This 5 day bike trip, takes us from Porto to Santiago, Spain about 280km…or slightly more, if you’re bad at directions like we are! This trip was fun, beautiful but also hard. Our motto for the episode is, if not now, when…and we said this a lot as we were navigating the challenges of this bike trip.
I think this motto also encapsulates one of the biggest reasons we decided to take the plunge and pursue this cruising lifestyle. In our mid-50’s, we’re not getting any younger and are still in relatively good health. That is, nothing is really keeping us from doing the things we want to do. Yeah, we both could have worked a handful of more years but really, it wasn’t going to materially change our standard of living. However, we would get older and could potentially have challenges in pursuing this dream, if we were to start it a 5 years later. So, IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
I encourage you to check out the footage in this video. Portugal and Spain and Austria were truly breathtaking. Whatever dreams you have. Wherever you want to go or whatever you want to do. If not now, when?
