Growing Up and Moving Out

We've spent the last three days packing, moving, selling stuff. My two grown children, James and Rachelle, moved into their first apartment. It's a big step for me to let my children grow up and move out! Though I think I've been handling it well and am very proud of them, it's very emotional also. Sure [...]

Big Change Day

Today is "Big Change Day". James and Rachelle, my two grown children who have been living with us, sign the lease on their apartment today and move out on their own. It will be the first time they've lived away from home. I'm very proud of both of them. This is a very big change for [...]

Montreal Itinerary

Looks like it's going to take 2 full weeks, 14 days, to make Montreal. Guess I'm not the road warrior I thought I was, but I just can't imagine pushing that hard for that long. Also, I guess I can't just drop in on my Mom, who I haven't seen in nearly 10 years, for a [...]

The Real Challenge

I wrote a few days ago that the real challenges are inside us; the journey simply exposes them.

Here's my challenge: guilt.

And I don't even know, for certain, why.

I feel like I'm cheating the system. Living without the cost of a house and its utilities is less expensive. I know a lot of people who'd travel if [...]

Have I Always Had the Travel Bug?

Looking back over my 46 years of life (I'm not afraid of my age), I think now perhaps there's always been a part of me that wanted to get up and go - travel.

As I child the only vacation I remember our family taking was driving to the Grand Canyon. Many times dad just took mom [...]

Traveling Every Place in the Universe

When I asked Fiona if it was okay if we just traveled like this for a while, she said, "yes, as long as after we visit every place in the universe, we stop traveling." So then I asked how long she thought that would take. She said, "Ten years." Daddy asked how old she'd be then [...]
