The size of the shoppers...



...was the only thing that limited...

...the size of the escalators.

the starting point

...so on the advice of my little brother, I started a travel blog.

In 26 hours, Claire and I will be on a flight to Sri Lanka. We have seven months to explore and enjoy the world before going back to full-time work. We are stepping outside both physically and metaphorically...

...outside the comfort and predictability of home

...outside the well-worn career path that our profession demands we follow

...outside into new surroundings.

Both of us have a reasonable amount of travel experience, but this time it feels different. We have moved away from our dear friends in Townsville and are adjusting to life on our terms. Of course, when you have no income, money is a concern. Apparently, busking as one of those human statues can be quite lucrative, and all you need to do is stand still.

The main concern right now is the situation in Sri Lanka. The polls have just closed for the general election and, as expected, there has been some violence. We'll keep a close eye on the news feeds, and perhaps it's time to think about packing.
