The Journey Begins Anew Today

The journey of life begins anew today for our family. Our son, James Ashman, is joining us from California. He's driving clear across the country all by himself. So of course I'm a bit concerned. But he's a lot like me and I know he'll take care and plan well and arrive safe. He's looking forward [...]

A Year Ago Today We Left Roseville California

A year ago today we left Roseville California to head to Montreal. It's been quite a year. We've driven through a lot of states and stayed with lots of interesting people.

What have we learned? For one thing, I don't want to live in a big city ever again. I don't want to move back to California. [...]

Informal Meet and Greet in Roseville California at Panera Bread August 10th 2011

We're only in Roseville for a few days and there are so many people in the Sacramento area here that we know. We'd love to meet with everyone individually and that's just not possible. However, for those of you that would like to see us while we're back in town, we've arranged to spend Wednesday afternoon, [...]

Sisters Reunited in California

The sisters have been reunited! Fiona and Rachelle are together once again after being separated five months. Fiona hasn't seen her big sister since Rachelle's wedding in March. She's very happy to have a few days to spend with her! You can see Fiona's video about it here.

I'm very happy too that I get to see [...]

Leaving Colorado and Heading Back to California for a Short Visit

We've enjoyed house sitting again for Rita in Colorado. They are coming back one day early so we're leaving a day early. That's okay. Nomads must be flexible! We're so flexible that a week or so ago we changed our plans entirely and decided to head back to California for a short visit.

Fiona hasn't seen her [...]

California Scenery

Our drive Sunday included seeing a rainbow and beautiful rolling green hills.

Fiona played with her ponies in the car.

And the rest area had all these birds - they sounded like [...]

Monday's Trip from Arizona to California

It's taken me a few days to catch up and get this post written about our trip this past Monday.

Joel and I both woke up at 4 am but decided to try to get some more rest before our alarm went off at 5:45 am. Quick showers, cup of tea, check email, finish packing the van [...]

Coming Back Home - Where is Home?

Yesterday I read a post at another traveler's blog discussing where home is. Being a nomad means we have no home in the traditional sense of the word. Our last home was a rental in Roseville California. Now when asked where is home, I answer, here - where we are right now.

Right now, today, home is [...]

Driving Through Coronado

Coronado is my favorite part of San Diego. The historic Hotel del Coronado was the largest wooden building in the US when it was built more than a century ago . . . and it still is, today. Then we cross the enormous Coronado Bridge, completed and opened in July of 1969, the month before my [...]

San Diego's Perfect Weather

When people across the US and Canada discover that Sue and I used to live in San Diego, they inevitably ask "Why would you leave the world's finest city where the weather is always perfect?" or something much like it. Well, we've lived there most of our lives, and we've decided that it's a nice place [...]
