Will We See You This Month?

By
So far on this trip, we have been fairly spontaneous with our schedule. In the past two months, we only had three appointments to keep with family and friends putting us up at their place or flying in to see us so we just kind of floated where we wanted to when we wanted to. This spontaneity gave us flexibility to stay longer in areas that we really enjoyed (i.e. San Francisco and Astoria, OR) but resulted in less time for other places (i.e. southern Oregon). It also made us miss seeing some people because we didn't know we were near them until after we were gone.

This month will be different. Not only are we making sure that we have time for everything and everyone we want to see, we are letting you know where we are going to be in advance. If we are going to be near you this month, please let us know! And if you have any recommendations for the areas we will be heading, let us know that as well!

    Hey...it looks like my comment didn't post...or maybe you deleted it? I didn't swear or anything! Anyway...are you checking your email accounts? Steve and I want to send you a list of must-dos in Toronto and Montreal (and where to stop for lunch in between).

    No comment deleting at all. I blame Wyoming (for no particular reason).

    We'd love suggestions for T & M!

Why Are We Here?

By
There are three ways to answer this question: Why are we here? (What are you two up to?) For the past few years we have been watching our budget closely, paying off our debt, and saving as much as we can. This has given us the freedom to pursue a dream. What dream, you ask? A random one! While we do not have a definite goal or specific plan, we have developed some guiding principles: Let life rule instead of work. Explore the country and the world. Trade "stuff" for genuine experiences. Create rather than consume. Develop a spirit of volunteerism. Take odd jobs in unfamiliar disciplines to see if there is something we love, but don't yet know we love. Live in the moment. Work for ourselves as much as possible. Dance outside our comfort zones in order to grow. Find a way to stretch the money we have saved for as long as possible. Identify properties of cities that we like should we choose to "settle down" again. ("You kids back there bet...

I spy...

By
I was looking for directions on Google Maps today when I realized that Google had just added "birds-eye" views for Fort Collins. So, of course, I went to see what our home looks like. Much to my surprise, I found that Google just happened to catch us on the morning of March 29, 2012. Our moving day! So, you better think twice before deciding to run around naked in your back yard. You never know when the aerial photography plane is going to fly by!

Money, Money, Money!

By
I am a huge fan of talking about money, or at least talking about it in a way that opens up discourse and de-tabbooifies 1 it. Now that we are transitioning from making money and saving it to living off of what we've saved, I want to share our monthly travel budget with you (developed in Mvelopes ). Here is our working budget for the US portion of our trip. Some details: 1. The State Farm category covers auto insurance for the van (~$70) and life insurance (~$40). 2. As you can see, the Lodging category is not very high. We are planning on staying with friends and family, sleeping in the van (in KOA's , state parks and Wal-mart parking lots ) and couchsurfing 2 . 3. The Auto category covers gas and any needed repairs (knock on wood). We will be driving approximately 10,000 miles in the next three to four months and expect to get around 15 miles per gallon. Sorry about the car emissions, planet Earth. We promise to balance it out by not driving a car for the following three ...
