Setting Sail

Taj Malabar and sailboats

We've noticed quite a few sail boats around the area lately so I wonder if there is some big group sailing around the world. It's that everyones retirement plan until your grown boys demolish it filming a video for their new company, Prestige Worldwide? If you haven't seen the movie Stepbrothers, then you have no idea what I'm talking about so just ignore that.

Kat and I took the ferry back from Fort Kochi and saw a lot of boats around the Taj Malabar hotel. I'd like a sailboat one day....but I suppose I must learn how to sail.

Our Globetrotting Lives

For those of you who are new to following our blog.. welcome! Jason's job requires 100% travel so we literally live out of our suitcases jumping from country to country (or city to city) and staying in hotels. For now, we are enjoying the no-mortgage, no-kids and little to no responsibility life. Don't you worry...that will change one day. But for now, we can be globetrotters, vagabonds, professional homeless people (is that wrong to say?).. or whatever you may call us.

I started the blog not long ago as a better way for our friends and family to keep up with where we are. So far, we have been to Finland, China, India, South Korea, Germany, Japan, Turkey, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Chile, Thailand and UAE. State assignments include: California, Texas, Louisiana and Illinois. Since I started this blog late, not all assignments are included, but I hope to be adding to our list as we go. Be sure to check back often as I try to update daily. For now... ENJOY: )

I compiled a list of books that I enjoyed reading. I'm always looking for new ideas (so feel free to share your favorites with me) as I go through quite a few books on every trip. No, I don't want to own a Kindle - I like actual books and the ability to buy used and share them with others. I have a big box full of books at my parents house which will one day have a home on a bookshelf. : )

- A Thousand Splendid Suns
