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 [...]
is yes.
Sue just gave 30-day notice on the house. She’d already called the phone company and pulled the plug. The two adult children living with us intend to be living elsewhere before the end of [...]
Ian and Caitlyn have arrived for a quick overnighter before Trip #2.
Beans on the stove, brown rice and cornbread in the oven, homemade salsa in the fridge.
It’s gonna be a great dinner, followed almost instantly by waffles (or pancakes, no one’s decided for sure) for breakfast.
By bedtime tonight we will have tripled the amount of time [...]

The best of plans sometimes have to change. We just found out this morning that our lodging accommodations in Portland, Oregon next week fell through. Due to an unforeseen family need, the wonderful family that were going to let us stay with them in return for our coaching services are unable to do so.
That leaves us without a place to [...]

Best Beloved had left a handful of baby things out by the fence with a ‘Free’ sign. I set the dead empty computer cases out there, too.
Except, not the one which had both a hard drive to bring Computer A back to life and the video card to bring Server B back to life. That [...]

I’m feeling fairly squished and tentative today, but I’m going to soldier on and share the goals Sue and I talked about Tuesday night when we couldn’t sleep.
We realized that what was important to us was not what we had or did, but what this gave Fiona, so our goals are based on that.
Subject to change [...]

Joel, Sue, Fiona
The plan was to announce our decision next Monday, June 28th, at noon. Well, that was what I wrote, anyway.
The plan was to decide before then, not wait until then.
And, it’s decided. No point waiting. When you know, you know.
Vancouver,we are ‘go’for launch.
If we come, they had better [...]
Bearing in mind that nothing’s final until noon on June 28th, here’s the tentative itinerary should this Canadian shakedown cruise take place:
Thursday, July 29th—Drive 10 hours to Portland Oregon. Stay with Debi Leonard and her very own Craig.
Saturday, July 31st—Drive 4 hours to Everett Washington and stay with Brad and Kristy Trnavsky.
Monday, August 2nd—Drive 2 hours [...]

We decided this morning that, although we need a couple more days to make sure there’s water in the pool, we need to set a go/no-go date. So we did.
At noon, Pacific Standard Time, on Monday June 28th, I’ll post whether it’s ‘go’ or ‘no’ and then, the madness begins [...]

Vicarious Nomads
You may not be in a position to drop everything and travel the world. (We might not either, but we're talking about you right now.) If you'd like to participate vicariously, your financial support of this adventure will help us to document it, and hopefully show that even today (perhaps especially today) a family can choose where and how to live.
We're not expensive folks. Even the smallest amount will make a very real difference.
