hoyden - I am living vicariously thru you - I wish I could sell it all and go on the road with my dogs and GF. Glad to see you are making the leap. Enjoy 

 

PS - we did Baja last year for 5 weeks it was safe, the people were wonderful, travel was easy - and we had a blast.

Thanks all! I just purchased a bonafide webhost (hostgator) and am moving from my free wordpress squatting. 

This way, I can add all sorts of fancy things like plug-ins etc. 

I'm going to try my hand at v-logging too, I think. Create a youtube channel and all that. I'd like to, but we'll see how I actually do :-)

 

One of my coworkers and one of the EVS guys that comes in to the Tech Room daily for our trashes got all teary at me at work today.

There are good people there, for certain, and I will miss them. And while I'm still cold-footed, I'm feeling a bit more surety each day.

BTW, welcome to the 'retired' group (or semi-retired)!  I retired about 6 years ago.  Even that was scary at first but alas, the best days are ahead and when you wake up and don't know what day of the week it is, you have arrived! :-)

 

I used to spend a lot of time in Baja when I lived in San Diego; maybe once a month or two to go surfing.  That was a while ago but if you can get through TJ and down far enough you'd get out of the iffy section (TJ) and even then, I used to go down to TJ shopping, etc.  Never any issues.  Lots of stories, but no issues.

Asking my (non retired) wife which Saturday of the week it was did not further our relationship.

The downside is that you can no longer get a day off and I now don't look forward to weekends like before.

when I took my month trip last month (Oct) one of the things I craved was not knowing what day of the week it was!

Hello there hoyden happy for you and your companions. Someone posted up earlier about smiling, I realized while reading this- I was smiling! Would never know if you like the adventure before you, unless got on board.

Ha Ha! When I worked, I never wore a watch. Calenders, clocks, computers everywhere didn't need one. After retirement, I quickly found I needed to think about it to know what day of the week it was, except the weekends when my wife was home. Now, I wear a watch everyday. Never know when I need to put the (correct) date on a campground tag

 

Good Luck with your travels, I'm pretty sure you'll do very well!

I rely on my phone to tell me what day it is for campground tags.

Don't forget to give WtW groupies free access :-) to your reports, etc.
