I'm at an age where I have some money in the bank, but not quite enough to retire on. I've also had a health scare that's reinforced the idea that by the time I _am_ retired, I might not have the capability to do some of the things I'd like to.
My company has recently established a sabbatical option of up to 3 months. Due to current obligations I'm probably 2-3 years away from being able to take advantage of that option, but I'm in the brainstorming phase of thinking how I'd want to spend such a window of opportunity traveling in my plane. (I'd be starting from the TX Gulf coast.)
This isn't the first time I've thought about it, and I have two-ish ideas on how I'd like to spend that time. One is flying to Alaska, but since I'm transitioning to Basic Med that seems unlikely unless Canada starts accepting that.
The other is a circumnavigation of the US, maybe with a visit to the Bahamas thrown in for good measure. Alternately, an extended visit to the Bahamas, with a tour up the east coast and around to maybe the UP of Michigan before heading back home.
Where would _you_ go if you had three months to travel with your plane?
