Our last blog post was in the beginning of October and
November is almost over, once again we didn’t make the time to update our blog
with all our adventures. We just got so busy working and traveling that we felt
rest was just a bit more important. Yes, this year our traveling was much more
extensive and before we knew it, it is now over. We traveled over 9,000 miles
in the past 10+ weeks and we are exhausted and will now take the next month to
travel the way we like to do, under a few hundred miles per day with days in
between to rest and relax.
We do want to get out of the cold nights and head to the
desert, we begin working again mid-December in Casa Grande, Arizona. Because we
were tired of taking Interstate 10 west, we chose to head back to Amarillo for
a few days before we head west on Interstate 40, then turn south again on
Interstate 25 into warmer days and nights. Hanging out in Benson and Casa
Grande for a few weeks looking for a tow vehicle is our plan. Anybody have a
tow vehicle for sale, or know of anyone that does that will be in that area,
let us know so we can check it out? For now, we are just chilling for a few
days up in Amarillo before we get on the road again and head to warmer climate.
We had some great times with PepWear this year, but there
were some rough times as well that could have and should have been avoided but
that will be in our negotiations IF we decide to do it again next year. We
really do love the break from the RV Lifestyle for those few months, we love
the travel but just not as extensive as this year was and we love the work, but
we will have to weigh it all out and see if this might be something to pursue
again next year.
As for a discussion for permanent work we had going on
during this adventure, call us crazy but we turned down a 6-figure income
because we did not want to go back into such a structured environment. It had
some great points especially the money and included travel, but on their
schedule and their choices of where we go. For the most part it had too much
structure and even though we thought we might be able to do it for a few years,
we decided that if these are our last years of living do we really want them to
be living without our freedom, so we turned them down. It was NOT an easy decision,
but the bottom line was all that money would not, could not buy our happiness
and we were not willing to give up who we both have become to do it. We will
figure out a way to get Maggie replaced without selling our souls and getting
back into the rat race.
So now we will get back into our way of travel and keep you
all updated on our whereabouts so we can possibly get some visits in this year.
