NewbieNomads - Lauran
Sometimes you just have to pick up and go. Many people often feel like that, but me and my husband were silly enough to act on it. We have both resigned from our jobs, sold most our furniture and put the rest of our belongings in storage, and plan on traveling for the summer with his two kids. Starting on the east coast, we will traverse America, visit family, see the sites, and hopefully come out a little wiser and a lot happier somewhere in the Wild West.

No ducking way!!

So I thought I should post a few pics of our soon to be gone home. Or rather, since the house is fairly normal and not that exciting, some pictures of our vacation last month with my husbands family. I am still desperately trying to talk my husband into traveling all the way to the Pacific coast this trip, so that it will be a true "Coast to Coast" vacation. The end of May was both me and my husbands birthday, his 30th and my 25th. His parents and his younger brother and brother's girlfriend all came out and visited [View Full Entry]

Spreadsheets as therapy

In my first post I mentioned that preparation was part of the journey. It’s also a great way to not feel so overwhelmed and anxious about such huge life changes. Budgets, timelines, and maps don’t sound exciting compared to the vastness of the Grand Canyon or the majesty of Mount Rushmore, but in the very stressful time between deciding to pick up and leave everything familiar and actually setting off, it can ease the nervousness. Okay, in reality budgets, maps, and timelines aren’t EVER exciting, but they are a little bit like a security blanket. In fact, Excel spreadsheet [View Full Entry]

A rut is a rut is a rut...
North America » United States » Virginia » Springfield
I thought that I would add my first entry on the actual first day of travel, but I realized that the preparation is part of the journey as well. We have been preparing for several months now, but considering the enormity of our task it isn't nearly enough time. We have saved as much money as possible, and planned things as we thought appropriate, but in reality this journey will be about enjoying ourselves and the road less traveled so we have tried to remain fluid and relaxed as much as possible. Who knew trying to remain relaxed would be so [View Full Entry]
