That’s all we are thinking at the moment. Our brains are sore from all the meticulous planning and financial analysis of the trip. It all seems good on paper, but what really counts is when we hit the ‘blast off’ button, the jet really flies.
We realize that the road ahead is no joke. It involves challenges we could have never prepared for. But I guess that’s part of what will make the experience unique and special. As Forrest Gump once said, "Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get". But that’s just it – we can’t wait to see what we’re going to get.
It seems a little too dreamy at the moment. The 7000+ miles on our analysis sheets just looks like a random figure, the significance of which we can’t appreciate with our numb minds. We need to hit the road now to kick in that much-needed flavor of reality.
That’s why I insist.
Let it begin.
We’re ready.
