On October 9th, 2013 we were having cocktails at the Cavalier in SF and between a Scotch Egg and a Old Fashion cocktail, my husband said "let’s take a sabbatical." It was so random and unexpected, I though he just liked the word sabbatical. I rolled my eyes, said okay and moved on to my chicken dinner. Several cocktails later, it was decided, we would take the next 6 months off and travel around the world.
