Its feels like we have been on the road for at least six months. Christmas with Kelly and Jon and the grandkids seems like ages ago. Time with Adam and Melissa even seems longer.
But now, we are in the middle of our winter travels. We look at the map and it seems as if we have been racing across the country. But not really. We wanted to see friends and family first before we settle in for a few weeks at a couple of different places.
When seeing friends and family, its not unlike other visits in that we don't want to overstay our time. Most people are working and we are not. At least not full time. A few days is usually enough time to catch up and check in with folks.
And we've had plenty of adventures and time for pondering the future and the past. In three months we will have completed nine years on the road. We have a ton of memories and recollections from a thousand corners of the country. It's been quite a ride. We have no idea how long we are going to be able to do this but the over-riding feeling from it all is: thankfulness.
We are so thankful to be doing this. A gentlemen echoed those thoughts a few years ago as when he said, "We are lucky to be doing this". True words. We are truly glad we navigated through all the uncertainty and took the risk to jump into this life style.
It has been rewarding and growing time for both of us and we have loved it. If we were to step away from this life, we'd miss it for sure. Gladly, there is no end in sight for us and we are happy to work through timing and our feelings of how much time to spend with family and friends.
We're off to a great start in our first month of traveling for the 2017-2018 season.
Thanks for joining us on our 2018 Roadrunner Travels!~
