Well, well. It has been a long time since I have been on here…

We are set on a plan to travel the world once more. But this time it is for real. Today is Feb 17, 2016…

Plan: Sell things, sell house, travel.

Well this year we will be doing some renovations, minimal, due to crappy economy, just basically landscaping and fix ups around the house. We were going to do windows but because the economy is crappy, there is no point putting money into our house if we won't get it back..right??

So this year is selling little things around the house we knew we never needed in the first place, finding out ways of working around the world, and well making some sort of a plan.

At the start of next year, we will be selling bigger things, getting rid of a lot of our things, and then putting the house up for sale in about August, hoping not to have to move out until November or December. Our plan right now would be to sell the house and buy an apartment and rent it out.


Sooo, at the moment we are doing all of our research for how we can travel continuously. We will be making trips back home for visits, but the 9-5 monday to Friday is driving us nuts. We decided not to have children and right now all of our friends are having children and we are slowly losing our connections. Our baby will be travel, and life experience will be travel.

I will try to update this blog as we go, but at this time it is just research.

Start of a new? life...

well...it has been a while since I have been here. Since coming back from our India trip I have started a new job. Travel Agent. It is an exciting and stressful job. So much to learn so many people to please, and so many places to go. I'm sure I am doing it to have some job security, and cheap trips. It is amazing what one can see in a lifetime, I have yet to see more for sure. Back to life here has been hard, paying bills, waking up to go to work, having a one or two day weekend, and planning a wedding.
Does my life feel fulfilled...not really, however I am in love with my best friend, and I am healthy with a roof over my head. Inside I feel like there needs to be more, yet I am realizing that it is all there, inside me, I just need to clean it and make it feel like a whole. Starting from my soul, and going through the chakras, there is a never ending battle of loving thy self. It seems silly and easy, but how many people do you know that actually can say they are happy and in love with themselves inside and out?!?
I didnt think so.
Therefore, another journey to seek out. Yet this one is a LOT closer to home.

THE GREATEST SPEECH EVER MADE!

What a TRIP!

Well, we've been back in "real life" for a couple weeks now, finally just got sleep back in order and life is good. It is hard to come back after all the "rollercoaster rides" but it is nice to realize exactly what we have. There is always a part of me that never wants to come home. If it wasn't for my loving family and friends I don't think I would...

The second day back to reality: a lineup of bills, my car engine needed to be rebuilt, letters I never wanted to receive, and doctor appointments I never wanted to make came into reality. It was shit! However, looking at it now these things are things we take for granted; like healthcare, a house, law abiding law!

The world out there is a crazy place but I will never get sick of seeing it all, even if I have to see some of it numerous times. Everyday is a day to thank the world for bouncing back from the mistreatings we have slayed it over time and letting us still breath its air and live amongst its amazing atmosphere and energies!

I would like to quote something I read from a book called, 'The Backpacker' that really says what I felt at the time of travel...
"Travelling. Its like the best Friday night you've ever had, when everything clicks: people, energy, mood, etc. Except it is now everyday. Freedom in its absolute purest form.
It's the compass, not just the little head ruling the little head. It's the natural instinct of following your heart, your eyes.. To move from place to place, country to country, and do what you feel inside, to find out WHAT you feel inside... It's important, vital even to stand aside and take a look from a different angle, to look with a fresh pair of eyes.

Bangkok 3rd time 'round

BANGKOK. HOLY SHIT!
The place where people have a good time. The Place people fear of getting taken over. The place where a shitload of new beginnings start.

What a place to be. I mostly never like cities. Mark always tried to convince me of liking cities, just the easiness of them, the convienience of them. Well, I have to admit. After India.... ANYTHING IS AWESOME. However, Bangkok is a world of great street food and well, happy times. Even though my bowels were ejecting everything they could from India they were taking in the crazy amounts of happy spicy Thai food they experienced! I don't have too much time to tell you of our experience here but I promise I will explain later.
But for now, I am out to enjoy our last couple days and to celebrate Marks Birthday for one last time in this city.
HOLY SHIT, WISH US LUCK XO

over view

Wow, I would never think that I would be happier to leave a country, however I never thought I would be in India! I can't say it was shit, neither can I say I loved it. India, what a diverse place to be. I don't know if I will ever go back, but what a different culture, and well it made me harden up! I was hugging Mark and high fiving while leaving this crazy country, with a gigantic smile on my face. Mark and I came to the conclusion; no man can travel India without a woman, and no woman should travel India alone. This is to get the whole experience; that is unless you are going only to Goa and the south, or have a guide the whole time. It is a very different pace to be and something you just can't figure out. Unlike an engine of the future, it is somehting that won't ever be explained in simple terms.
I am glad to be gone, yet I don't wish to take back anytime I have experienced in the country.
But with a large smile on my face I get to say for the third time, "HELLO BANGKOK, here we come!!!"

HOLY COW

Cows.
The cows in India walk the streets, eating garbage but somtimes are fed leftovers. They are a holy animal, left to wander the land as they wish, but people want them close by because they are holy. They believe that if they feed them once in a while they will get good Karma out of it!
So, the cows walk on the highway, in the middle of city center traffic, through street shops, around the city and town eating whatever garbage they can find.
Its funny because as soon as they get towards someone's business they get smacked with a stick or rock or a hand..
I had to write this because today I saw a hurt cow with a very large gash on its leg, that will more than likely get infected, an kill the cow slowly. Also, they have many cows die due to eating plastic and the plastic getting caught and the cow chokes on it. I also have seen a cow walking with a large gash in its leg, it was a pale brown cow. I could see the blood poison going through its leg and into its body, due to the brights pink lines down its torso.

This gets me upset, because if this animal is so holy why aren't they taking care of them. it is bad luck for te Hindus if the cow dies on their account or on their property. So why wouldn't they try to help it. there are some vets that work solely on these animals and they are volunteers.
I don't think I will ever understand this religion ever. I think it is better to eat the animal, and then people would be keeping them well fed and healthy! Makes sense to me!
