Awe and Appreciation
Standing on a beach a short distance from where the Queen is safely parked, Otis is chasing his ball timing the ebb and flow of the waves, and just a short distance away a mama whale is teaching her newborn calf all the essentials of their life is hard to put into words. It’s moments like this that truly make us appreciate our decision to change our lifestyle, to bet on ourselves, and to pursue an everyday life that makes us feel alive!
Baja Recap – The Decision
Each year so far, we have spent the winter in new and different places. Year one was Florida. Year two Arizona. Different sides of the country, different geography, much different humidity, but much warmer than the winters we were used to. So where to go for year three that would be new and warmer? Was it time to tow our Airstream south of the border and explore Baja, Mexico?
This idea brought with it a lot of discussion between the two of us and lots of opinions from friends and family we shared the idea with. Is it safe? Crime? Language barriers?
Life Dreams?
This short vlog shares our not to far from the truth daily goals in year three of our Airstream life. It’s quite the change from our home owning, business running, family raising, life of our recent past.
Introducing Mr. Otis
Our last “fur baby”, as Andrea likes to call them, passed away two months before we embarked on our traveling life. It was an emotional loss for us, as Sir Russell’s passing marked the end of our children’s childhoods and the beginning of a new phase of life for all of us. After much research and deliberation over the past two years, Andrea and I decided we were ready. It was time!
Where Did We Go?
For the first time in two years, Andrea and I decided to take time away from our weekly blog. It was not because we were tired of it, but more so because life led us in that direction. Sometimes growing stronger together requires time apart for the growth of the individual.
When Is It Time to Move?
When traveling full time is your lifestyle, how do you decide when to move? Well, that is a good question that we have been asked quite a few times and is a great campfire conversation starter, as everyone’s thought process is unique.
