Entry #1

Yay!

This is the beginning of our communications about our Wild Planet Gypsy Tour USA ... woot woot! We plan to be on the road in 6 months from now ~ September '09. We are still unsure of our first destination ~ maybe Paonia, CO?

We have officially made our first step toward our new lifestyle. We have reduced our monthly living expenses by 50% by moving into a smaller apartment. The new place will be kept during our travels as a home-base and to store the stuff we just aren't ready to part with yet. You know ~ dried-up corsages from prom, my mom's dolls, tax returns, etc. It will give us the opportunity to save some money and give us time for more purging ...

Purging is an interesteing concept ... I have somehow validated giving away some items, but still want to hold onto others ... really?

Tell me your purging philosophy ...

  1. Neat, have a friend on FB, Leigh Dyer, check her out, she is all about assisting people with reducing the clutter in their lives. Where is Paoni? Are you planning to go overseas? Have another friend, he is also traveling the world, though by boat. I think you can google Dave at "Mad Tea Party." He has a twin hulled catareman and will trade passage for crew and food.

  2. What the hell is a blog anyway? I've got so many of these connections, I don't have time to go the wine rooms and coffee bars or even my studio.
    You will find Australia bleak of landscape but teeming with friendly people. Its big cities are like all big cities, overcrowded, uncomfortable, lacking elbow room. The wine is good.

  3. You are awesome! This blog is awesome! Peonia would be an awesome place to start, I haven't been but hear it's beautiful. The picture of your feet is amazing: where will those feet take you?

  4. Bob ~ wow! I would love to connect with your catamaran buddy! Thanks :)

    Paonia is on the Western Slope by Grand Jct. It is just gorgeous there and we are thinking about going to help our during Peach Harvest.

    Our trip will just be in the US, some Canada and maybe some Mexico. But the world tour will follow :)
