About a month ago I decided the best thing for me to do is:
Move to an island where my biggest concern or worry is what color umbrella to put in my drink.
I’ve always toyed with the idea of moving to some tropical location and being a beach bum. I find it a perfectly acceptable life-style and career choice. (Wouldn’t you love getting SSM updates via ocean side manor?) It’s something that is always, always in the back of my mind. Especially when it’s cold outside, or when I’m waiting in the airport to board my plane and just happen to hear “final boarding call for St. Thomas”, or even when I’m walking on the beach and I know I can’t stay there all day and night. What can I say – some people like camping in the desert, some people love to be surrounded by snow and some of us that just want to earn our title of being one of the “Locals” on the island.
My roommate and I even plotted to get one-way tickets down to the Caribbean and just go. (FYI – Spirit Airlines has phenomenal prices for this sort of thing) Had the date picked out and everything. Didn’t happen, but I still visit the idea from time to time, check the flights and such. You know – keep tabs on the situation. Well lately signs seem to keep popping up here and there. A friend starting Med School down in Dominica, another friend telling me about private boats that hire staff and they just cruise from port to port, and then there was the incident where someone was quite flabber-gasted that I had never been to the Bahamas.
All roads (and boats) appear to be pointing South. Now the question is, is do I jump ship?
I don’t know..I don’t know if I’ll ever know..
Unless….unless someone wants to come with me. I hate to involve myself in adventures with out someone to plot and laugh with along the way. It doesn’t have to be forever. Just a couple of months or years or..maybe..maybe longer..maybe we’ll set up shop and stay for a decade! I’m sure that if worse comes to worse, someone would help us get back to the continental US.
It’s that simple. Call me up, we’ll get our one-way tickets and just GO. Over-thinkers and expert analyzers need not apply. (I find those types seem to be a little too cautious in times when reckless abandonment is greatly needed.) So what do you say? Who’s with me? Anybody? Beuler…. Beuler….. (Ferris would do it.)
Come on, you know you want to….
serious inquires need only apply
