The Choice is Made

Sy and I have made the decision to go nomadic.  We were leaning yesterday.  We continued talking ourselves into it today.  We are going to look at a nice motor home tomorrow.  It is taking a new set of eyes to determine how to proceed.  Everything will be a new challenge for awhile as we transition.

We can take a limited amount of stuff on the road with us including our tools to make our living.  We have already sold and given away a ton of crap this year.  We are now going through the process of trying to guess what we will want to keep in storage for future use when we find our five acres of paradise, and what gets liquidated.  The prospect of having the freedom to wake up anywhere we want is actually a little overwhelming.  We are already making a list of places to visit.  This list includes natural wonders and restaurants alike.  We have figured out that our biggest challenge will be downsizing our kitchen.  We are both foodies who love to create new dishes.  We now get to challenge our skills with much less space for cooking and resources.  Our four cats will be re-homed, but we are taking both dogs with us and have to consider space for their food and such.

We are looking forward to eating at local restaurants and finding food at local farmers markets from different areas of the country.  We look forward to seeing family that we haven't been able to see often.  I will be writing about our experiences along the way.  Someday they will be one set of tales out of many from this "great recession."  I hope folks will follow along as we take this crazy adventure into location independent living.
