For instance, you could take a year off and volunteer with international humanitarian organizations. We took a year off (to be bums in Costa Rica) and our regular lives were just waiting for us when we got home. It really is possible to get out there and do something YOU want to do. =-) @ Michael: Better late than never. And you're right about Neil: one of the things that makes every day of his life an adventure is his view of loving life and loving others. Definitely a life well lived. @ Ali: I think if I walked the A.T. I'd do more rose-smelling than walking! ;-) @ Vikum: Here’s the thing, you get to have such a life too… you just have to MAKE it.

Sometimes it's hard enough to function optimally in society even when you are right smack in the middle of it... but after living free, it would be especially hard to conform. I also would want to stop and smell the roses along the trail... no sense rushing through such an amazing experience! @Jeff, I see what you mean.

Thanks for sharing a bit of Neil's story with us. It sounds like Neil, besides being an adventurous and fun loving guy, is also a plain ol' loving guy as well. That's a recipe for a life well lived! As far as advice for newly weds - hmmm... I agree that he's just embarked on his greatest adventure ever. Learn to appreciate every moment of it - both the good parts and the parts where you have to travel for "3 or 4 days in one stretch" to get to the next good part. ;-) Best of luck! Hey Lisis,
