So, we’re flipping our lifeplan a bit. Pulling a 180, so to speak.

We already began that process a half dozen years ago when we built a snowbird retirement home an hour north of Cabo San Lucas in Baja Sur, Mexico, where Nancy and I reside from late November to late May, our aging bones more content with high-70’s temps and sunshine, than the Pacific Northwest’s high-30’s and gray. 

But after 25 years of owning a home, then renting an apartment – both in Seattle suburb Sammamish, Washington – we’ve decided to explore for a while and see some of the world we’ve yet to experience. Nancy’s half Italian and has never been to Italy! And half my kin hail from Norway and Scotland, and I haven’t been to either. So, we’re at a very fortunate time of our lives, and have decided to change our status quo.

A month ago we packed up all our belongings and Nancy’s Volvo, and placed them in storage. Then on November 18, we departed in the RAV-4 for our final drive to Baja; this time a one-way trip.

On May 21, 2025, we’ll fly to Seattle to begin our 180-days of nomad life.

This website/blog will be a chronicle of the logistics planning we encounter putting together a half-year on the road, and then an entertaining – we hope – journal of our travel experiences themselves. In an earlier phase of life I wrote a book and managed a blog, but it’s been a couple of decades since I put fingers to keyboard for anything other than work or occasional social media. I look forward to it.
