Highways, Towns and Adventures and PREP!

Just before heading out.

Michael and I are at the last day of prep for our road trip. To where you ask? Who knows. What we do know is that we’re not ready to head to our beloved Europe. That trip will have to wait a until the world settles down a bit more, possibly sometime next year.🤞

But far be it from us to sit around the house any longer! So we are off to cross America again as we did 7 years ago. We’ll return to favorite places, check out new ones and meander through towns and side roads along the way, We’ll l drive long hours, talk, listen to music and books until we need sleep. Then we’ll do it over again the next day until we hit New Mexico. Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Las Cruces ~ here we come!

That thing called ‘the variant’ is rearing its ugly head so no stops are set in stone. What we are good with is flexibility.

For now, we are setting up home prep such as readying the house for any upcoming hurricanes.😱 We hired a house manager ( we love his enthusiasm and he lives local, Yay!) All bills on auto pay, ✔️ Patio furniture is in, studio is closed up and miniature art supplies are packed and yes Michael has his computer which is stuffed with genealogy 😃. Chargers are full, ✔️vaccine card ✔️…oh and ice packs and a heating pad ✔️(Hey we are no longer spring chickens.). We’ve booked the first week, making sure all accommodations have good cancellation policies because that’s just the way we role…?Hey what’s down that road?

We’re exploring the USA map, plotting different areas and working things into our calendar. Calender? The last trip we took lasted over a year. This time we have no set timeline but pretty sure it it won’t be more than 3 months and remember, we are only a FaceTime away. Wish us luck, safety and happy trails! 

                                                  READY!                          


                                                Love to all! ❤️

A Cathartic Morning

Travel has consistently challenged my sense of stereotypes and my formation of judgments. We arrived in San Luis Obispo, CA, on Sept. 3rd, ...
