Well I have finally taken the plunge and resigned from my role as National Sales Manager for a Marine Refueling company and my last day at work will be the 14th of November 2013.
I delayed my departure due to sales of the business, but that is now all behind me and I am ready to go. Sold my house in Adelaide, but kept a property in Darwin as a safety net, ended my lease in Perth and sold almost all of my worldly possessions. All I have is a few bits and pieces, one fully set up bike and my car
which I will sell after using it to trailer the bike to Darwin as I have already ridden that road before.
My work took it really well and a three day Marlin Fishing Competition I had been invited to at the end of the month is still on, was convinced I would not get to go on that after resigning, so they must still like me just a little. Five days in Queensland and three days of Marlin fishing is a hell of a way to work out your notice....my life is so hard.
So its done.... I'm ready, the bike is ready and all that is left is a bit of paperwork to complete and I am good to go. Hope to be in Darwin around the 22nd of November and then ship the bike to East Timor with a planned arrival date of the 5th of December.
Life is adventure.

When is enough.....ENOUGH
This is the question I have been asking myself for a couple of years now. The answer in reality is almost never, but bugger it I think I shall bite the bullet and just get on with the things in life I want to do.
And just what do I want to do???? Well for one travel and meet the peoples of the world, go places I have never been before, do things I have never done before. I want to take in the sights, smells and tastes of the world and I can't do it from behind a desk no matter how much they pay me.
So how do I do this....well I will sell a rental property, rent out my apartment and live of the interest and rent. Won't be a life of luxury, but at least it will be a life.
The plan is to take off from Darwin with my motorbike and head to East Timor, from there up through Indonesia, into SE Asia then over to India and up to Europe. When I finish that adventure I will just go again until I either find a paradise to stop in or get hit by a bus.
