Wanderlust

I know, most people write about their actual trip, but this post is about the prep. It's incredible just how much stuff you (think you) need when going somewhere. And really, that's part of the voyage anyway, isn't it? The prep work, packing, planning, and organizing it all...

I have so much on this trip that I felt like I was playing a real-life game of Tetris in the loading the car.

And when traveling with a trailer in tow, there's always the lock and load aspect of those items as well. Thanks to Steve for taking care of that with the bike!

Now, I know that you are only supposed to take what you *must* have, but that's advice for a vacation - this is actual (nomadic style) living, so I think there is an exception rule.

Some people may think that worst parts of a trip are the prep and the conclusion, but I suppose I think it's all one endless whirlwind that gets you from here to there. And back again. Or somewhere else. Constant motion. Different location. So, a trip to me includes so much more than the 'destination'.

Onward to California via Vegas!

So, after 7 years of employment with the same company in the same place, doing pretty much the same thing, I'm done!

I'm planning on taking a step back and exploring my new options and finding what really interests me, doing so in different places with different influences surrounding me trying to leverage the law of inertia.

Taiko drumming makes my heart beat.

I try to make my life about living in the moment. I think I inheirited wanderlust from my mother, and the husband pours fuel on that fire.

Our life can be easily documented by numerous and random photographs in borrowed locations.

There is so much that I want to learn and there is so much that I don't know.

My old webpage will no longer be updated, I'm starting fresh here today with no history, so please check here instead for my doings if so desired, thanks!
