A change brought about by the sea---I haven’t known what day of the week it is for 6 months. Before that, the daze of the week become countries .Let me slip into something more comfortable, like a comma, No I am on a ship. Here are some other strange  innuendos of meaning that are contained within "cruise club" culture: Arriving at a new country usually consists of finding the free wifi and taking a bath is considered a luxury You talk about how to spend your "hours off" not "days off". You have to turn on the tv to see the weather outside. When you’re in the real world you stop yourself from saying hello to random people walking past you.

I do it when I decided to live simply, working half the time, and freelancing. To control your cow, give it a bigger pasture. On India's open road, in Goa ...

There is no doubt about it, the exhilarating state of mind that travel can evoke, when everything seems suddenly fresh, vivid, intensely interesting, and memorable.  Life without walls on ships, planes and bikes puts you in a singular category---One of the privileged homeless. It frees you up-- In fact, every act of perception is to some degree an act of creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination.

I am Basho on a frequent flyer pass, with complimentary mojo on take off .  We're all just walking each other home.  I  think of my job(s) on  ship(s)  as leading people to those moments of awe that overtakes you when you encounter...
