Why do I want to go around Australia? I say "I" because to be honest, I am not sure if anyone else is keen to go.
Last year I took on a job that turned out to be far more stressful than I expected. I discovered that I was not a career man and that to keep going would mean missing out on enjoying my family. I didn't want to retire and find that they were all grown up and that I had missed the best part of my life.
"Why wait till we are old and decrepit to do this" I thought. I still want to be able to do things with my kids rather than watch them do it.
So I told Vicki the vague plan. I would organize the accommodation and transport, we could travel around for 12 months and she could organize everything else Surely that should be simple?
Vicki was less enthusiastic - "what about schooling, instrument practice, soccer etc. etc. etc. Hmmm details details I thought....
