I have taken several Carnival cruises with my wife in the last few years and would love to try a freighter voyage some day. I don't think she is quite as thrilled about the idea though. My mid-life crisis fantasy is to own a small freighter. No sea captain role for me though, I want to just own it and have a cabin to use whenever I want. I think a freighter voyage would allow me to experience this life a little. For me though the problem would be the time needed for a trip of this length. It would be hard at this point to get that kind of time off from work. I guess I will just keep this idea on the back burner and hope maybe someday I can manage to get the time off and try it out. In the meantime I will continue to keep an eye on this forum and enjoy the posts.
