Who hasn't dreamt of packing up and just leaving their daily lives behind for a while?

Sherrie and Patrick have and for years they would take months to a year off of work to jump on their motorcycles and ride away.

And then they had babies.

Patrick knew it was time to break out his lifelong dream of sailing around the world.
