<p>So one day in 2005 I quit my job, took two years’ savings and set off to <a href="https://luxagraf.net/jrnl/2005/10/twenty-more-minutes-go">see the world for a while</a>. A while turned out to be 13 months.</p>
<p><a href="https://luxagraf.net/jrnl/2005/10/twenty-more-minutes-go"><img src="//images.luxagraf.net/round-the-world.jpg" class="picwide" alt="trip around the world thumbnails" /></a></p>
<p>Then I came back, started writing for Wired.com and got married. Finally the royal <em>we</em> was literal. We celebrated by <a href="https://luxagraf.net/jrnl/2008/03/ring-bells">exploring Nicaragua</a> for a month.</p>

<p>In 2010 we decided it was time for a road trip, so we spent four months <a href="https://luxagraf.net/jrnl/2010/07/begin-the-begin">on the road</a> in a 1969 pickup with shell.</p>
<p><a href="https://luxagraf.net/jrnl/2010/07/begin-the-begin"><img src="//images.luxagraf.net/truck.jpg" class="picfull" alt="1969 ford f250 on the oregon trail" /></a></p>
<p>Then, after far too many flights, we <a href="https://luxagraf.net/jrnl/2011/05/from-here-we-go-sublime">circumnavigated the globe</a> going east. From this we learned that we do not wish to fly anymore. Next time we will use the sea.</p>

<p>In 2012 we added two new members to luxagraf and a third in 2014. Once we’ve all become acquainted we’re off again. Stay tuned.</p>

<h2>Ongoing Adventures</h2>
<p>Some things take a while. Like trying to <a href="https://luxagraf.net/projects/national-parks/">see every National Park in the U.S.</a></p>
