I have worked for 33 years, got the kids through school/university & now independent (more or less), wife has her own life (more or less), money in the bank, so for me it is about doing something I have wanted to do for ages. I feel i have met my obligations (more or less) and now am ready to move on, so my "Gap year" in South America is about blowing the cobwebs away before deciding what to do next.
By the way - the kids approve, although it is fair to say the wife is not too sure about it all!
