If there is anything that we have learned, it is that life really is too short to let your dreams pass you by. You have to take charge and do things while you can, because while there is always another excuse to put something off until tomorrow, there are not always a lot of tomorrows left, and sometimes it really is more about the journey than the destination.

 

WHY?

 

The first question most of our friends and family ask when we tell them about our lifestyle plan, is “Why?”

 

In all honesty, back around 2007 we had a discussion about retirement and what we wanted that to look like, and we agreed that we wanted to be in the Caribbean somewhere. William started researching islands, and nations, and politics, and a short bit later we decided we didn’t really want to be stuck in one place, so we re-evaluated and whittled it all down to: we love to travel and explore where it’s warm and near the ocean …

William’s grandparents had traveled on their boat and remembering this fondly, William began campaigning the same for us: we could travel and take our home with us! Explore all of the islands, large and small. Don’t like your neighbor? Raise anchor, move! Million dollar water views up close and personal outside your window; new destinations, new experiences, and new adventures, every day. Doing what we love, with the one we love, where we love to be.

 

Eventually, William himself turned to me and asked:

“Why? Why wait until we retire, until we’re too anchored, too old, too tired, or too broken to even try? Why not now while we still can?”

 

It simply makes sense.

 

That’s why.
