We’re both fully retired now. Amy’s last day in the office was three days ago, Paul’s was two days ago. Now we’re hustling to take care of all sorts of details before the arrival of both our girls and Lowry’s husband Kyle for a visit, hosting two big parties next weekend, spending five days at Cape Cod, packing up the camper, and heading out with the camper in tow for our big adventure.
It will be a long time away from home and our two cats, but the mother of friends of ours will be visiting them for the summer from Sweden and staying in our house, so Bigelow and Dottie will have some company until we return in the fall.
Our camper now has a name and “home port” displayed on the “transom” as well as emblems symbolizing our quest to hike and bike in all contiguous 48 states and 10 provinces while we are still able to be physically active:
Once on the road, we’ll try to post updates as often as we can, depending on when we can access the internet.
