Bill and Judy take a trip….for life

I am stretching things here and expanding my west side blog to include a former OPer who is dear to me.  A couple of months ago, she and her husband sold their condo, packed their bags and their kids up and fled not just the coop, but the country.  Her tales of foreign lands, strange illnesses, unflinching devotion and culinary wonders are incredible.  In honesty, I walk away from reading her blog feeling not just excited that she and Bill are on this journey…grabbing life by the horns, but a bit mediocre.  I am convinced she’ll write a book from her tales on this trip.  She is a photographer, a great writer, a mother, a teacher and a water phobiac!!!  I can’t wait to hear where their family journey takes them.  Before they left, we talked about timing.  I continually pressed them to tell me how long they planned to be gone, when they’d be back.  She delicately told me that timing wasn’t something they were focused on.  I got the idea that they’d be gone just “as long as it takes.”  So eat-pray-love THAT Julia Roberts!    Read her stuff.  You won’t regret it.
