How I did it
How to raise chickens
It took me
0 days
It made me
wistful but hopeful


How to master spinning on a charkha
It took me
60 days
It made me
relieved


How to move to the country
It took me
0 days
It made me
at peace

Got the third tattoo this summer in New Orleans.



Travel the Alaska Highway
This will be a toughie

From a time-off perspective, it’ll be difficult for Alexis. We’d need twice as much time off as she gets every year. It means we’d have to save enough money to allow her to take off for about a month without pay. That’ll be a challenge. I’m not even sure our truck and our RV would be able to take it. I understand not all of the road is paved, and we don’t have a 4×4. Even so, I’m making this a five year plan, shooting for summer of 2014. If we can do 6300 miles (Coast-to-coast and back again) next summer, we can do the AK Hwy!



Travel route 66
We've got a plan, Stan

On July 1, 2009, we’re going to be moving into an RV full time. During the school year, we’ll stay parked near my work except on holidays and weekends when we may travel. During the summers and perhaps the winters, too, we’ll be hitting the road and seeing America. Plus we’ll be spending much more time with our family and friends in TX.

During the summer of 2010, I’m hoping we’ll get to make the Route 66 trip. In June, we plan to take our RV from Baltimore to Chicago, Chicago to Santa Monica, and Santa Monica to San Antonio (approx. 3300 miles) in 12 days. We’ll stay in San Antonio for a month and a half and then head back in August, cutting across the Gulf Coast through New Orleans and Jacksonville, the up through the Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic, hitting Charleston, S.C. along the way. That drive will take us 1900 miles in 4 days.

Now to save the money we need for fuel, food, and RV site rental!
