Last week, we sailed the ocean blues aboard the magnificent new Disney Fantasty cruise ship, embarking out of nearby Port Canaveral on a Western Caribbean itenirary to Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, Cozumel and Castaway Cay. Having lived near the port for many years, I’ve actually taken many cruises over the years. I think this is […]

Packing for Vacation
By the time you read this, we’ll actually be in the middle of the Caribbean, nearing the end of a 7-day cruise. Our first actual vacation in a long long time. Well, as close to a vacation as we come – we’ll still be working some hours via overpriced cruise ship satellite internet, as we […]
Planting Seeds Every Day
When your legal billing address is far away from where you’re doing your shopping and errands, checking out at the register is rarely a quick transaction. It seems quite common for a lot of registers to ask for your zip code. Which for us, invites a great opportunity to open someone’s eyes to the possibilities. […]
Ordinary and Reflective
I think there’s something unique about returning to your point of origination in your nomadic journey. While being still for nearly 6 weeks now has been very nourishing for our nomadic souls, it also doesn’t leave a lot of room for posting about exciting travel adventures. As predicted, our lives have become a bit more […]
Our Bug-Out-Bus
From 1994 – 2006, I lived on a barrier island on Florida’s Space Coast. A beautiful location to be, that had relatively few hurricanes. There was a story around these parts that NASA specifically selected this area for their space port because of a meshing of conditions that repelled big hurricanes. So for much of […]
Chutes and Ladders
It’s midnight on a Friday night. Hurricane Sandy is passing offshore and her tentacles are reaching onshore blowing the bus around in gusts of tropical storm force winds. Squalls of rainshowers have been hitting us at all angles for the past 36 hours. Mostly, it’s been a pleasant and novel departure from borderline too hot […]

We know that we have readers from a variety of backgrounds and walks of life – and we respect and honor each of you and would rather focus our energies on the things that we have in common rather […]
Dorks in Purple Shirts
Six years ago this week, we met in person for the first time. Last year I wrote more about our sappy love story. When Chris picked me up at a friend’s place near San Francisco, we discovered we had dressed exactly alike – both wearing matching purple shirts and blue jeans. We were so meant […]
Our Daily Exciting Life
As we’re a little bit visible on the interwebs, we occasionally get contacted by the media to be featured in articles, documentaries and TV spots. We have no drive or goal to be in the limelight, in fact – we’d kinda rather not be. But if there’s an authentic feeling opportunity to share our story […]
To Infinity and Beyond!
We’ve now been settled in our spot on the Space Coast of Florida for two weeks now, and it seems like we just got here. We’ve been frantically busy with lots of work related stuff. My father is retiring at the end of next month, and we’ve been super busy putting together a distributed team […]
