It's a wrap

We came here for two different reasons. For Chris, this was his reward. For Christina, this was her challenge. But soon after our arrival, we realized that perhaps we came to escape reality. Sometimes reality bites and briefly stepping away from it all so that we could play hard, sleep in, and shed the hair-shirt of responsibility is enough to regroup, recharge and reprioritize.


We also thought this would be a good time to step back and reflect upon our lives til now, hoping for a revelation of life altering proportions. This trip has really only reinforced two central tenets of our lives: Working is for chumps, and Not having money sucks. Perhaps, upon reflection, post-trip we will be able to reconcile these two antithetical ideas and find a way to 1. do nothing and 2. get paid for it.
At the end of the day, this trip was less about figuring things out and more about being with, and enjoying each other. And that's what really matters.
