 I flew a lot, but didn't bother getting my private pilot's license. The idea of flying myself around sounds nice, but the reality is I'm not cut out for it.

And that's ok.

Maybe I'll get the itch again down the road. Until then, I'll leave flying to the professionals. 😅

 it only struck me this summer picking up my kid from sailing camp...
I've never been sailing and never slept on a sailboat, but you can just buy a sailboat for a few grand, live on it, and if you're bored, sail over to Bermuda. Don't need to call Mom, go thru TSA, sit next to some obnoxious kid or get a ticket that can be cancelled.
Just you, the waves, the wind, and freedom.
