To paraphrase The Princess Bride, ‘Attacked by pirates is good.’ Gerald’s pirate story is the reason I asked him to be part of the podcast, but of course there is so much more to his story, as he says, the pirate part is minimal.
We have a fantastic discussion about the benefits of travelling with your children, taking them to far-flung places like India, and to places on our doorstep like Papua New Guinea, and even just exploring our state and our country. Gerald says that the quantity time you spend with your family on these trips, and the contrasts between other countries and our own are priceless jewels, well worth sacrificing for.
