I haven’t unpacked or thrown away my moving boxes yet. I’m afraid to. I have moved so many times in the past sixteen years that it seems like I’ve never really unpacked. Every time I do, within months, I end up packing up again and moving again. So as I settle into my new home… Continue reading Emotional unpacking
Sorry it’s been a while since I posted. Everything after Memphis seemed to go at warp speed. Hoping to catch up on a bunch of things in the next week or so. Stay tuned … I could not wait to put Memphis behind me. The frustration over the tire/bearings and just the fact that the… Continue reading New Orleans and finding home
I was kind of glad to have Nashville in my rearview. The drive to Memphis wasn’t too long and seemed easy. Until I got close to the campground. As I drove closer to the campground, I hear this weird noise. It sounded like something rubbing or dragging. Since I was so close to the campground,… Continue reading Travelogue #14 – Memphis and a busted bearing
Left Washington behind, knowing I had to make two stops on the way to Nashville. The first stop was another HipCamp spot near Roanoke, Virginia. It was cheaper than dinner at Cracker Barrel so I decided to stay there. I do love HipCamp but sometimes, the hosts are not very good at describing how to… Continue reading Travelogue #13 – Nashville
CAUTION: POLITICS AHEAD Before we begin, know that I live in California and I am a liberal. Big surprise. However, I do like to hear the other side as much as possible, as long as it’s productive and civil. Nasty, angry comments will not be tolerated so if you don’t want to hear what I… Continue reading Travelogue #12 – Washington
So hopefully you read the previous blog about why I was in Boston for so long. The good thing about hanging around for so long was that I got to do a lot in between car repairs. By the way, I’m back on the road and the car seems to be fine (*crosses fingers*). Let’s… Continue reading Travelogue #11 – Boston – the fun stuff
Fear is a motivation killer. As I sit here, so very grateful that my car is back (yay!) and that it wasn’t the transmission (double yay!) and, although it was costly, it was nowhere near as expensive as a transmission would have been, and grateful that so many helped me cover the costs, I’m finding… Continue reading Getting Back to Simple/Fighting Fear
As I left Vermont, I was feeling good. Four amazing days in such an incredibly beautiful setting made me feel refreshed and ready to tackle the next leg of the trip. I was excited to be going to Boston. First stop would be Cape Cod, where my friend and fellow adventurer, Mary Elizabeth, was currently… Continue reading Travelogue #10 – Boston – the Not Fun Stuff
Leaving New York was kind of bittersweet. It was so nice to reconnect with family, especially those I haven’t really been able to see for most of our adult lives. It was a short drive to Townshend State Park, where I had planned to spend a few days. To be honest, after almost a week… Continue reading Travelogue #9 – Vermont
It was hard to leave the horse ranch. After all, how often does one get to spend that much time hanging out with horses? Though the rain began again as I got ready to leave. It followed me for a bit on the road. Luckily, it didn’t get too bad but I was glad to… Continue reading Travelogue #8 – Mom’s hometown
