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 [...]
We're off to Hoquiam, Washington, leaving tomorrow morning. (I didn't know where it was either.)
We leave at the crack of dawn tomorrow, drive 12 hours, and stay with Ralph and Kelly and their kids.
We will eat. We will play music. We will have peace.
Funny how things kept bouncing around, not knowing where they were going [...]

That could be a noun, were it hyphenated, but it's a short phrase describing a need.
We have luggage. It's pretty battered. It has served us well, but it's nearing the end of its own personal journey.
What have you personally used for lugging stuff around (that's what you do with luggage, you lug) that you'd never leave [...]

Caitlyn 'Smokie' James
I've busted in here to ask you something. It's Caitlyn ... the Canfields will be staying at our place in August.
Joel & Sue agreed to give me some space to do a fun little post pre-launch of their nomad's adventure. I'll hit send before they can do a full proof-read. You'll see why.
Seriously, [...]

Yes, 'rooms', plural.
As I was making lunch she sat at the counter telling me about how boring our house is.
"I've seen every room in the house, and no matter how many times I look, there aren't any new rooms. I wish we could add two hundred million more rooms so I wouldn't be bored."
Two hundred million [...]

So here I was thinking about how crazy wonderful this last week has been since we launched this site and already have a workshop in place in Vancouver, BC in August. I thought to myself, 'funny that things really take off when we decide to go somewhere else to hold a workshop. I wonder why we [...]

I've been busy working with individuals and businesses who would like to sponsor and support our efforts to work while on the road. This week I'm specifically working with those who want to sponsor and support the workshop for virtual assistants we are planning in August in Vancouver. We are working to create a situation where [...]

Saturday, July 31st—Drive 4 hours to Everett Washington and stay with Brad and Kristy Trnavsky.

(If you know why you're here you can jump right to the survey; otherwise, read on!)
As Best Beloved and I plan a life as nomads, we're looking for ways to create mutual benefit; the proverbial 'win/win', for ourselves and the other lives we touch, or could touch.
The folks who are putting us up on our first [...]

Oh, you know there's gonna be a book. I'll be posting pre-order forms for the book/DVD/set but clearly, you'll want something now! now! now! and not just a book and DVD a year from now.
I'll be shooting endless reels of film (yeah, I know it's not reels, nor is it film; work with me here) over [...]

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.
