Count-down: 30 days until departure for Alaskan Adventure
When my husband came home one day and asked if I wanted to drive to Alaska in an RV with the kids, my first thought was, “Of course!” Then the more I thought about it, I wondered how we could make it happen. Questions and doubts swirled around my head. Could we really do it, having never even ridden in an RV before? What about the kids schooling? They attend an online school from home, but they still have deadlines they have to meet and there won’t be much connectivity on the road to Alaska. Maybe it wasn’t the right time. Maybe we should wait until next year.
Then it hit me. We had a chance, an opportunity, to go to Alaska at this moment. Not next year, or five years from now. If we didn’t do it now maybe we would never go. The opportunity may never be there again.
That’s when I decided, “Okay let’s go.” We’ll figure out all the other stuff along the way. We will make it work. And it will be the trip of a lifetime for all of us.

What would life would be like if we put off things we really want to do for a time when it would be more convenient...hopefully it doesn't resemble where we are today!
ReplyDeleteSome things you just can't put off. All of you will remember this adventure for the rest of your lives.
ReplyDeleteHave to take whatever chances life throws up! Hope you all have a blast.
ReplyDeleteYou have to take the leap or not. You will always regret NOT doing it, so go, girl.
ReplyDeleteI am insanely jealous. My dad rented an RV when I was young. We drove all along the west coast and into Canada. Do it. It will be worth it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your attitude. I try to be the same way, but some days it's tricky. Here's to seizing the day and enjoying the journey!

We did an RV holiday a few years back and it was a great time for us as a family. Great memories. But I can't let the mention of RV go without referencing the Robin Williams film which still makes me laugh when I think about it.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you decided to do it, maybe you could see if there is a portable broadband/wifi set up you could get so the kids can still attend school while on the road. Sounds amazing.
