An Airplane Ride Should Never Be Taken for Granted

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 | By strategy | Views [193]

It was strange and luxurious all at once.   I kept searching for the map and guidebook, desperately hoping we were going the right way.   “Is this the right road?” “Where’s the GPS?” “Where is the compass?” “What does that sign say?” ... Read more >

Goodbye Van

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 | By strategy | Views [183]

  We watched as the container door was shut and sealed by the chief inspector of the port. Our home on wheels was officially out of our control-subject now to the unknowns of the sea and those that fare it. If we lost the van, our world of possessions ... Read more >

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 | By strategy | Views [387]
