I get a catalog in the mail twice a year that promises "adventures of a lifetime." They really do seem adventurous - dog-sledding in the Antarctic, hiking some of the world's largest peaks, driving a jeep through the Sahara Desert. Due to the economic downturn that we are facing in America, the company is offering huge discounts on their pre-packaged adventures. That is it isn't it - we want everything "pre-packaged." This is not my personality. For our honeymoon my wife insisted on getting an all-inclusive plan. I was convinced we could make it up as we went. Depending on who you ask but I think the honeymoon was adventurous.
The reason we will pay big bucks for pre-packaged adventures is because we don't have enough time. We pay fishing guides to take us to the best spots instead of discovering them on our own. We pay for guided tours because we don't have time to learn to do anything. We hire people to take care of us. Is the goal to catch the fish? Or is the adventure in how you catch the fish?
