Don't Rent Your Life, Own It
Live your dreams now, not your back-up plan.

Travelling well is an important part of living well. If you travel well, your trip becomes more memorable and more rewarding. I haven't been everywhere - but it is on my list - and so is being a multinational soul, an AmeriCAN, not an AmeriCANT.
I couldn't do it on land alone. NYC or L.A., London and Tokyo were what I call "making the right mistakes." These adventures were nothing more than bad planning but useful nonetheless. I needed to get consecrated @sea and that is what I have been doing for the last 7 years - turning the slogan "Just Do it" into "JUST DONE - ONCE AROUND WITHOUT LEAVING THE GROUND."
The AWE in Awesome was put back into May and June, and more importantly, I put the HE in Hero as I continue on what Joseph Campbell articulates in The Power of Myth, as actually feeling the rapture of being alive. I have never sailed to The Arctic Circle - and now I can say "Just Done It!" Swish.
Don't RENT your life, OWN it. Live Your Dream(s) Now, not your Back-Up Plan.
They call it Planet Earth but it's mostly covered in blue ocean. I took a 1hr train ride to Civitavecchia, the port of call for Holland America's Prinsendam. I was about to start on the first of Two Grand Voyages.

When I landed in Rome, things started to take off. I was on a different plane. Avi-Navi-gation seems as natural to me as sending an e mail or going to Starbucks.I fold up my self and carry "me"around as if I were a gym bag. FCO Airport is is no exception.
