Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas
We don’t travel for the purpose of achieving milestones. Rather, they occur as a natural result of wandering around the world as we scratch the travel itch here and there and everywhere.
That’s not to say I don’t make note of milestones when they happen … I do. It would be remiss of me not to do so. I just don’t seek them out purposefully as some do.
It occurred to me today that our upcoming voyage is going to have a couple of milestones associated with it. One of them is that we will circumnavigate the world … in a meandering pattern to be sure, but we will be going round the globe. Another milestone is that we will be achieving our seventh continent. For most world travelers, Antarctica is usually the last continent they set foot on. For us that last continent will be Australia.
Technically, you could say we’ve already been to Australia … we had a short layover at the Sydney Airport on our way back from New Zealand to the USA last year. But that doesn’t count in my book. Six ports of call, on the other hand, do count towards adding that last notch on my belt … if I were prone to keeping track of such tallies, that is ;-)
