Holidays

it’s funny how we choose to spend our free time. I am off on a week skiing with friends in the French Alps. Skiing is such a brilliant pastime that i often forget how much i love it until I am doing it. The mountain air, the food, the exercise, it is all pretty much a brilliant time.

But what gets me is the amount of time we have to do all the things we want. Motorcycling is my first passion. But I also love kite surfing, hiking, adventure traveling, and all around tom foolery. Now I am on the very fortunate side where I am only allowed to work per my contract 220 days in the year. That gives me about 40 days off. Include bank holidays and you get to about 32. That is 6 glorious weeks of freedom. Much better than when I was in the States with a whopping 3 weeks. And that included sick days.

So I am stuck this year. I have take one week already. I’m in the middle of my second week.I have another planned in May to Chicago, need to get home to see mum. So, I am left with 3 weeks. Some of which has to be held for Christmas, but that leaves very little time of motorcycle holidays. i know that sounds greedy, but it is my passion. So, I am left to ponder, what is most important in life, your passion or chasing the mighty dollar. In my case it is the sterling.

So, I am at the cross roads, do I follow my passion or continue to work for the man to pay to feed that passion….
