We've Made the Decision to Travel

Well, this is it. Matt & I have decided to quit our jobs, leave our house in Salem, OR, and head out in a 23' travel trailer for a year (or as long as our budget allows). Our hopes are to see much of the United States via the road, see all the beauty that our country has to offer, visit friends and family, and meet new friends along the way.


We don't have much of a plan, but we will be leaving Oregon mid-March 2008 and heading South where the sun is shining. We want to keep our options open in case we stop in a place that we just love. Those places, we'll stay longer and travel on when we feel the need.


We ask you, our friends & family, to keep in touch via email and this blog so we can keep up on how you're doing and if we'll be in your neck-of-the-woods, we can plan to see you. In return, we promise to keep this blog updated with pictures and stories of our adventures along the way.


Here's to our upcoming adventures, our safety, our lasting relationship, and to our health during the next year!

You both are so smart to go on your adventures now where you will discover so many new friends to enrich your lives. You can pull into my driveway at any time and don't be surprised if I show up in yours while on the road. All my love, Judy

Apparently you would have needed mental telepathy to get the message I sent before because it is not here. Just received your camping news and am so glad you love your new home. We can hardly wait to read the new chapters in your journey. Just know that you are loved and thought about along the way. Hugs and Kisses, Carol
