The deadline pushed again!

Not sure if this is a law of nature, but it seems now that we are serious about leaving town, now that we are making the necessary plans to change our lives completely, the universe seems to have taken notice. Almost as if we were projecting a marketing message of "get us while you can!" we have been getting business....well, like nobody's business!

We can certainly continue to do the actual work from the road, but in some cases, "onboarding" a new client is better done in person.

Strangely enough, this is all happening around the same time that the two of us are really not all that concerned about getting new business, more concerned with our plans to travel full-time....coincidence? I don't believe in those.

So, for those keeping track, we have made some progress:

  • We haves sold or donated nearly everything in our home - of course, this happened BEFORE we decided to postpone our trip, so we are now camping in our home
  • We sold our Honda, but thank goodness not our Juke so I still have a vehicle until we leave, which is now estimated at late April/Early May
  • We bought  our Guatemala vehicle! We got a great deal on an FJ cruiser that we will be driving down through Mexico
  • My dear friends Kate, Trent, and Daniel threw us a going away party which of course devolved into tearful exclamations of love
  • We now have some extra family time and am using it to run a "Run or Dye" 5k this weekend and get away to Sea Ranch together
  • Lots of folks have pledged to come visit us, and we are seriously looking forward to sharing our paradise with as many people as possible- come visit
Feels like forever since we made the decision to head out, but I know we are taking the wise path in tying up our loose ends before we go and setting ourselves up to travel as long as possible.Sometimes its just hard being a responsible adult. ;-)

  1. Thanks for your posts. What you are doing has been a fantasy goal of mine since visiting/backpacking through Guatemala for a summer in 1996...so long ago! You inspire hope....

  2. Thanks for reading and posting. I hope it does inspire because we're just ordinary people who decided to make getting here a priority in our lives. Hope you make it here soon! Can I ask how you found my blog?
