Not Finished Yet: One Family's Quest For A Most Excellent Adventure, by Laureen Hudson, is now open for pre-orders!
Once you have children, your traveling days are over. Right? One night, after the kids had gone to bed, Laureen & Jason Hudson had a long talk. They realized that they had become that which they never wanted to be; people having abandoned the big picture in preference for the paycheck. They realized that if they stayed in the groove they were in for one moment longer, they were going to explode. But how were they going to manage, with children? There's always an answer, if you're open to it. They kept talking. And within the week, they'd put the house on the market, and contacted a broker about buying a boat, a 1991 Lagoon '47. They named her s/v Excellent Adventure. Disconnecting from The System is harder than it sounds; two full years later, they were still crash landing bits of the “suburban dream.” Between getting rid of shoreside social, legal, and political entanglements, and getting rid of stuff, it's a big job to completely change the lifestyle of a family of five. So come along and join them on their quest for a most excellent adventure! Not Finished Yet Pre-Order $19.95
