Alternatively...

Let's make some (Valentine) assumptions...

1. You follow through with Antarctica - 2.5 months off

2. No real estate purchase until (at least) June 2018

3. Enroll at King's in Spring 2019

4. Notice given sometime after that

5. Condo status re-evaluation in 2019 (rent/sell)

6. America 2020

... not a bad trajectory, it must be said.  Room for a down payment if something ideal emerges this summer, but mostly avoid doubling needless tax and other expenses while on board the Barque.  Gear up for a political year of travel if dollar recovers, otherwise other options (Central America, etc..) possible.  Use RRSP funds for tuition.  Figure out what you need for the rest?

Worth pondering.  As you slack off alone through this winter storm, dreaming of escapes.
