"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end."– Ursula K. Le Guin
As we were motoring down to Boca Grande, we realised how truly different this lifestyle is. It is not about getting somewhere quickly, it may not even be about getting somewhere. When you are traveling 5 miles per hour, getting somewhere takes a really long time. It's a day of a job to go 28 miles. So enjoying the journey is really important. It's something that we have to remind ourselves to do. We've been so focused on achieving targets and deadlines that making the shift to enjoying the journey is very interesting. You don't just plonk yourself down in the seat and wait to get there, the journey is for doing things, talking, and watching the world as we go by it. It is hard to stop watching the clock and constantly checking the mileage though!
