I have been fortunate enough, that I have not been benched in about 10 years. However, with the typical contractors mentality, that means I have not really taken a long break in 10 years, just the occassional holiday. My wife has said I am getting no younger, and our kids are growing up, aged 9, 6 and 1. She's suggested we take a sabbatical, a year out and have an adventure somewhere. Being the wrong side of 40, and closer to the 50, I am thinking it is suicide, professionally, and that we should stay on the ride until the fairground leaves town. However, that's contractor mentality.
She's suggesting going to North America for a year in a campervan or buying a narrow boat and cruising the canals of europe or backpacking around Asia.
Which one of us is crazy, and if it is me, any other ideas for a year out en famille?
I'd probably go to Bob land for the final month for a spot of plenty cheapness training to get me back in the spirit of things. Or should that be US? Do you think taking a sabbatical would look good or bad? Or do you think I should work while I can, and expect it to dry up soon anyway? My current gig is up next May, which would have the kids closer to 10, 7 and 2, and we want to have the kids settled by the eldests 11th anyway.
Not too sure what to do really.
