No, I think that would be a bit unrealistic with the Hubs’ working hard and the girls’ school. We do randomly ‘ponteng’ school quite a bit (as I do not believe that school is the be all and end all as I probably educate them even more out of school, and I do not believe that us ‘ponteng-ing school will result in my teaching the kids not to be responsible adults as I have other lessons to counteract that) but to ‘ponteng’ for 4-6 months at a go, I think would be a stretch. So I’m not quite sure yet how we’re going to do this but let’s start by listing the cities that we plan to explore……
One thing I find really sad is that the Hubs refuses to travel to India or China or any other ‘what he considers’ 3rd world countries. He’s such a SNOB!!! I’ve asked him countless times to follow us to Myanmar. He is just NOT interested. So it is a definite that we won’t be visiting India or China. With him anyway. I’m still working on the Asean countries but it’s not working well. Even going with his parents to Cambodia, he says he’s not interested. Bah.
New Zealand – 7 days
Singapore – 3-4 days
Tokyo – 7 days
Hawaii – 3 days
USA/Canada – 7 weeks – 3 days San Francisco – 3 days Yosemite – 3 days Death Valley – 3 days LA Disneyland – 4 days LV Grand Canyon – 5 days Phoenix – 3 days Houston – 5 days Chicago – 2 days Ann Arbor Detroit – 1 day Pittsburgh – 3 days Washington DC – 1 day Philadelphia – 7 days New York/Long Island……to be continued to include Canada to visit Topaz š
Middle East – 8 days
African Safari – 5 days
Europe – now here’s the interesting continent. We want to see so much of it that it is impossible to do it at one go so we’re going to split it for the first round and then return if the desire hits, and I am sure it will as we have so many friends and family there; just like Australia……and the US.
For the first leg of Europe, we would travel the 1st world countries (Hub’s favourite destinations since he needs efficiency and hygiene) and cover France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechenstein, Luxembourg, the UK, Austria, Netherlands, Monaco and maybe Germany. On our 2nd leg, we’d do Spain, Portugal, Germany, Prague and Greece. This is why I need to work.
South America – 2 weeks
Russia, Scandinavia, Alaska, Iceland and the rest of the world – when and if the urge arises.
That’s 22 weeks at a minimum, 6 months to take a round the world trip if you really want to see places and not just fly from city to city. But we’re going to do it.
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
