THe Plan, the plan

[learnteach]

The PLAN (tm) is to take 6 months off, travel around, think about things. I really want to change the rhythm of my live, lose some weight, do a four corners tour of the US, see Europe, dance, etc (so the time off will fill easily.) But what will I do when I get back? What do I want to do? Time to go retry "What Color is your Parachute" and look at teaching again.

I thought the whole purpose of taking this flyer was to change your way of thinking and being? You can't possibly include what you've learned on your trip in your plans until your on your trip(s). Right? I know your the sort that wants to know, maybe roughly needs to know where their going to land befor they jump (?) Maybe that'll change.

please allow me to respectfully recomend making a ritual of your leaving (and returning assuming you choose to return). This is a right of passage for you.... you see that don't you? Maybe couch it in terms of a quest, a quest of discovery. By ritual I don't nesecarily mean fashon conscious people walking in circles. Go visit your clergy before you leave and ask for his blessing... If you want the fashion conscious walking in circles option though, I'll help.

Good luck. This will be good for you. This maybe hard for you. Do stop by.

Don't think too much about what you'll do when you return. The only important bits are (1) what you want to do while you're gone, (2) a good mail drop while you're gone so someone takes care of any urgent/important stuff. (when Charles went to Europe he failed to do this, and when he came back they almost arrested him for ignored jury notices), (3) a place to crash after you get back (if you don't own a place at that point). We can help with #2 and 3, if you want.

When you get back, you can figure out where you want to be... after all, that's the point of going.

Enjoy... and if you feel like it, post travel journals, so those of us bound to locality can live vicariously through you.
