What is stopping you now, Northlad?
The question is what can you do. I used to have all kinds of ambitions and then I got older and was always working for someone else and now here I am at the brink of getting old. I'm not working anymore. I could do things within my limited budget, but I don't, partially due to my health.
Several guys in this thread have talked about fairly long getaways--months or a year. I have never even developed the skills for taking a vacation, or in UK terms, a holiday. Shame on me. There's gotta be a way.

I'm curious, [MENTION=20933]LJay[/MENTION]. What skills do you need to take a vacation?

I dunno, [MENTION=20941]Camfer[/MENTION]. We did take one long trip when I was a kid, staying here and there and touring sites, but I really have never taken a vacation as an adult. I would have to be travelling alone and fear that it would not be much fun. I have always just worked through whatever vacation time I had and figured I would do it later. Well, later is here and I feel like I ought to try.

Yep, time to start living it up a bit there, LJay. Plan a trip! It doesn't have to be expensive. If you're alone at home, it can't be worse to be alone exploring some part of the world that's new to you.
Maybe you have a hobby? Plan some trip around that and you will meet other people who are interested in the same things you are.
Example: I like playing African drums. I found a drum camp where I could sleep in a tent at night and drum all day for a week straight. I went knowing no one. The first day felt a little strange. By the second day I had met a lot of drummers and dancers from all over the place. By the end I'd got to know a bunch of people I still keep in touch with. We had a quick rapport because we had this music in common.

Northlad, methinks that INH has gone on ecologically ratiocinative on us.
You have good inclinations, but if you want to join a hippie commune you should move South. All that taking off of clothing is more comfortable where it is warmer.

Anyone else got anything this would like in this sense?
Oh, I feel like this all the time! Living in a city and being part of the 9-5 rat race just feels so alien to me, and I feel I should be doing something much more constructive with my life. I want to get off this conveyor belt and break my mould, but I feel like I've lost the instruction manual on what I'm meant to be doing instead :biggrin:
