Daydreaming About Brazil HOBBS 1526.5 hrs

On the VAF forum, there is a thread about a gentleman that is delivering an RV7 to a customer in Brazil. He departed Georgia, via Florida, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and eventually down the West Indies Islands to Brazil. I love to see trips like this...#1, it shows just how amazing it is to have an airplane like an RV...and #2, it feeds my adventurous spirit to daydream about someday doing a trip like this in an airplane that I built. On my "bucket list" is a trip very similar to this...from previous travels to South and Central America and even living in Panama as a 12 yr old, I absolutely love that part of the world. The geography, the warm weather, the food, the people and the culture resonate with me. To explore it in Wablosa would be a dream.

I am so busy with my own life and this blog, I rarely read other blogs...but one I do follow when I get a free moment is called Windtraveler...I can't remember how I stumbled across it, but it is very good, insightful writing...and wow, they are living an adventure that has always fascinated me and I enjoy living vicariously through them...living aboard a sailboat and giving the middle finger to corporate America. Brittany recently wrote a very good post about chasing your dreams that I enjoyed, give it a read...I am firmly on board with her sentiment. Always have a dream in front of you...life is much too short not to pursue your dreams, whatever they may be.

In that vein, here is one of my dreams...check out this route (superimposed on the SPoT track of the gentleman that is currently flying to Brazil). Not sure how much vacation time I would need or how expensive this trip would be...but those details will not clutter my dream, for now at least. One day I hope to pull this off.

What are your dreams? The only wrong answer is, "I dont have any"...
