Travel is at the top of most people's bucket lists, but most of us just talk dreamily of the day we'll drop everything to embark on an adventure. When we win the lottery. After kids grow up. If only we had more vacation days. Sara and Marc Hopkins wouldn't wait that long. Here's how the couple (Sara's from Des Moines' east side and Marc's from Coventry, England), took their three-month dream trip. They sold everything. The Hopkins were living in a 500-square-foot apartment in England when they decided to make their travel plans possible. Since most of their kitchen and living room was from IKEA, Sara said they literally sold off the rooms box by box on eBay. Ultimately, they cobbled together about 5,000 British pounds (about $7,500) for the trip, working out a day-by-day budget. They wanted to spend a year traveling, but decided they had enough for three months in Asia and Australia.
