don’t leave me hangin’ dude!

I know, I know- Sorry! I have BLOWN out some miles in the past not even 48 hours. (We are talking nearly 2,000 miles so I am a bit tired to say the least and my laptop time has been limited.) Even though this has been an abnormal trip for me just driving and driving without stopping much, I still have plenty of stories. Things like my classic car “camping” and freezing like I have never frozen before, America’s most foul smelling bathroom, and almost running out of gas in the middle of nowhere New Mexico because I got chatting with my mother for hours and didn’t realize how low my tank was getting.

Photos and videos in a bit. At this moment I am concentrating on my terrible but at the same time delicious and much needed coffee at the Denny’s I’m at, along with giggling about food items called things like “Moons Over My Hammy.”

P.S~ In case anyone is wondering, it is NOT warm in a place called Sayre, Oklahoma in December between the hours of 1 and 3am.

and then there were 800

I didn’t even realize I was approaching 800 posts until I logged on just now. Great way to kick off my next 3,000 miles.

I might be the only person in history to drive clear across the country to turn around and drive right back. That’s how much some amazing people, a fabulous company, and a city like San Fransisco have stolen my heart. (Boy, do I love the energy of a big fat city!) As much as a huge part of me wants to stay west right now, the other portion tells me to complete the circle and trip I started on July, 13 so here I go. Maybe I just get east, wave hello, collect a few boxes and drive back 3,000 miles. Maybe I stay east forever. Either way I am such a huge winner. I have learned about what I want and need in my life to be happy, healthy, and balanced. I can’t wait to make a home living around people and things that inspire me on a daily basis. I see clearly now more than ever.

See? There was a method to my madness all these years. My reverse retirement has paid off. I never doubted for a second that it would, but also never knew it’d feel this incredible or peaceful to get here.

Here’s to all that’s waiting in the future!

get your seat belts on

The road trippin’ begins again in 3 days. We’ve been to Alaska, we have busted it. We left from the east coast almost 5 months ago. (Yes, by “we” I mean you all, my peeps, my readers, my friends; all who share here.) Lets hit the road to complete the loop and see what’s around the next corner.

One life. All the freedom and opportunity in the world and things to learn every day. I’m loving that.

See you on the road…
