Our third year of traveling is off to a banger of a start! January may have felt long, but we packed a lot into the month, starting with lots of family time, in person with my folks, and video connections with the kids. We ate well in January, enjoying dinner out together with friends at… Read More 2026 Faux Bird Season 3
We had a wonderful holiday season with friends and family. While we desperately missed Elliot and Alexa, we cherished every second of our time with Meredith. Two weeks is not a long time, but it was enough to fill our cups and do some really fun things. Together we made gingerbread houses and pizzas. We… Read More The sun sets on 2025
I was reminded yesterday that I’ve been remiss in updating the blog. I guess once I got home and started opening the house again and doing the massive amounts of errands, chores, Christmas decorating, and mountains of laundry I forgot to record our last, unplanned, nomading get-away for 2025. So here’s to completion issues. We… Read More A brief stop in Savannah and then home
Our last days in San Miguel were lovely. It included a holiday and two days off for Larry, so we got to play. Our good friends, Carrie and Max, came down to spend the holiday with their family here, and they were gracious enough to fold us into the bunch. (Carrie and I worked together… Read More Adiós, México
It’s hard to believe that we are entering our final days here in San Miguel. The month has gone by very quickly, and these last few days promise to evaporate just as rapidly. We have a lot queued up between now and when we head to the airport on Saturday. This past week was spent… Read More Our time is winding down
Two weeks here, and I am as smitten as ever. I was lucky enough to have my friend, Tracy, here for a week-long visit. And having her company allowed me to take a break from the day-to-day and explore more as a first time visitor and tourist. I still managed to keep up with my… Read More The colorful, vibrant SMA
After returning from St Maarten, we closed the camps and tucked them in for the winter. Then our winding path from New Hampshire to Florida brought us down to Massachusetts (to say bye to Tam and the pups), then Pennsylvania (for a day visit with Milan and Sadie), then to Virginia for a workday, and… Read More Tennessee in three parts
As we wrap up our time in New Hampshire and prepare to return to Florida we have a rather nontraditional route plotted out. First stop on this winding little road was the island of Sint Maarten. We were fortunate enough to be invited to join four of our very best friends for a week in… Read More Nomading Caribbean Style
Palm Springs lives up to the hype. As an east coast person, I had only really learned about the famous Palm Springs through TV and movies. Glamorous, wealthy, fabulous. Perfect weather. Perfect tans. Perfect teeth. Everywhere perfect. That can’t be real. Surely. Nope. It’s real. Palm Springs is all that. Sure, it has some flaws… Read More Twelve days in a desert paradise
We continued our march across the country and chose to stay a week in Tuscon, Arizona, in a rental home that abuts the Saguaro National Park. In fact, to get to the home we needed to drive through a winding portion of the park itself before getting onto a rutted dirt road for the last… Read More A week in Tucson and a night in Yuma
