It really opens up all kinds of possibilities. @Ron - I love the frog story. It does seem that it often takes a dramatic event in our lives before we make a needed change. @MyDollarPlan - Great idea! I'll try to do a post soon about our experience with taking a kid on a cruise. Thanks for the comments!

We want to take our two little ones with us on vacation and a cruise sounds like a great idea. It would be very easy to go back for naps.

We seem to have more excuses for failure than reasons to succeed until our backs are really up against a wall. I heard a story once about a frog who fell into a deep wagon rut. All his buddies encouraged him to hop out but it was too high. They asked him what was going to happen and he said, "I guess I'll just die when a wagon comes along." A couple of days later one of those buddies saw him on the lily pad at the pond ans asked him what happened. He said, "Well a wagon came along and I HAD to get out." They say a rut is just a grave with the ends open. Very inspirational post. We seem to have more excuses for failure than reasons to succeed until our backs are really up against a wall.
