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
We’ve been in San Miguel de Allende for one week already. There is a lot of culture, history, and art to take in and appreciate. I love that we are pacing ourselves because we have the luxury of a month to explore what is quickly becoming one of our favorite destinations. We aren’t alone in… Read More The hidden world of San Miguel de Allende
¡Estamos en Mexico! We arrived yesterday afternoon after a long and uneventful day of travel. An extremely early flight out of Nashville had us stay overnight at the airport Hilton (highly recommend!). All aspects of the airport and flight went smoothly. We had a long layover in Dallas, but had lounge access so we were… Read More San Miguel de Allende
In my last post I talked a little about this weird and wonderful thing that we are doing, our version of nomading. It’s not always easy to explain, and it’s definitely not always easy to do. We are figuring it out as we go. Essentially we are living — not vacationing — where we travel,… Read More Weird and wonderful
We had big plans for August. We did a lot of coordination to get five of us flying out of Boston on the same evening and in the same direction. Mer and Ewan had to return to Northern Ireland. Larry was headed to the Irish Republic for work, and would of course pop up to… Read More A Busy August
The first week of August is already here. It feels impossible that our visit with Meredith is almost over. July went by in a blur. I spent a few days with Tammy in Haverhill while she recovered from knee surgery (and we both recovered from bee stings). Back up at camp we passed the days… Read More Just like that
In absence of actual travel, here’s some ramblings on the concept of “home” that I started back in Colorado. The question that used to throw me when meeting strangers is “What do you do?” They are usually just making curious small talk, and I would try to reply simply that I am retired. But often… Read More Home
