Travel, buy a Sprinter camper with a trailer to haul Crantini and other toys and get on the road. Park it somewhere and fly off to Australia and NZ or Europe return pick up the N. American journey and try to get a ride in as many places as possible. (what is your favourite ride, lets go do it)
There is plenty of time to settle in, there just isn't enough time to see the world. (and I guess that leads us back to the money)
