Inspiriation

A few days ago I watched an incredible PBS movie about parents who raised three kids on a boat as they toured the world. http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/iceblink/ They wouldn't spend much money, and when they ran out they'd just work somewhere until they could go again. I watched it thinking, "Who needs a house with a mortgage, or to be overloaded with stuff?" It inspired me almost to the point of buying my own boat. That only lasted until I remembered that I'm scared of the ocean, at least where I can't see/touch the bottom (that means only 99.99% of the water in oceans scare me). I have been on a couple of ferry's, but the Nantucket Sound is like Utah Lake, so you could probably wade to shore if you fell overboard. I decided that I'd "settle" on buying a camper and driving around North and South America!!! Maybe I'll do some humanitarian work along the way, as I stop in a town for a few months and work at a hotel or something. Did you know that there's such thing as camper vans? They have kitchenettes and chairs that fold out into double beds. Wow, with that I could really go cheap, and definitely in style. This was my favorite one on EBay. Not that I'd really get one like that, but how fun would it be? Why don't I do it? The only thing that would hold me back would be going to grad school. If I don't get accepted, then it's off to the unknown for me :D Maybe I'll take pictures and sell them like the Martins did too. Then I'll be rich enough to keep up the lifestyle. Just in case you're wondering, I am serious about wanting to do this (not necessarily selling pics for money, but about the whole idea). Just like I was about the milk party.
