Mind-Boggling Plans

I've done some mind-boggling things in my life. Things that you and many others would have told me not to do. Maybe you did tell me, stop, that's crazy, you can't do that. Or it just doesn't make any sense or on and on. But did it ever make any difference? Not that I can remember. You see my wife and I spend many hours discussing, sometimes what you could call negotiating the details, we go back and forth until we decide to do something, then it's ironclad, we know what we want to do and nothing can change that unless we alter it a bit ourselves. Others either don't understand, they don't get us, or they are secretly wishing they had the courage to do something similar. 

So to bring the reader up to date, our current plan, well its more than a plan since we are now well into it. We listed our house with a realtor, it is for sale on the Multiple Listing Service in our community. The one place we have to live in, the one place to hang our hats and hopefully it will be gone soon. Then what? Well, that's where the mind-boggling comes in, we don't quite know. Yes we want to travel the world and we have no intention of buying another house. We want to be Travelers with a capital T. Every week, every month or perhaps every six months we will have a new and different home. The question is can a guy in his 80s like me, with a wife in her 70s accomplish that. Yes, of course we can do that but for how long? How long can we remain healthy, how long can we land on our feet, able to go on to the next place without problems? There's also the critical question of how long will our money last, that's critical isn't it? Travel is expensive and unexpected expenses will come up. Well, our philosophy is simply that we will deal with that when it comes up. That has been our way the 33 years we have been together. Nuts huh? 

Stay tuned in for updates. We had an open house today with a fair amount of interest so we may be on our way soon.
