Whale Watching
At the weekend Lisa suggested that we take a Whale Watching trip out from Oceanside Harbor which is just over a mile down the road from our home. Oceanside Adventures appeared to be a...

Context: No home address but not homeless.
Pro
Not being tied down to a particular Home location is a dizzying concept, and one that we are still getting used to; although I believe that we will never take it for granted.
I won’t say that each day is entirely different from the next, but I would venture to say that, at least thus far, every week is. If there was a top ten of ways to keep ones brain active (and stave off cognitive decline), what we are doing has to be one of them.
After witnessing the cognitive decline of my Mum, and seeing first hand how her lifestyle choice contributed to it, Lisa and I are very aware of what needs to be done to avoid letting an unhealthy routine creep up on us, regardless of how comforting it feels.
Con
The travel part of our lives has several aspects that are challenging, the uppermost being finding where to live next.
For example, over the last several weeks we have been working on the last week of November, December, and January. The main decisions are: where to go, how long it will take to get there, when to leave, and where next. The following is what we have planned right now:
- Leave Oceanside CA (11/26
- Arrive at Marana AZ for Van storage (11/30)
- Leave Marana in Jeep (12/1)
- Arrive at Taylorsville KY (12/6)
- Leave Taylorsville (12/27)
- Arrive at Marana AZ to pick up Van (12/30)
- Leave Marana (12/31)
- Arrive at Ehrenburg near Quartzsite (1/1)
- Leave Ehrenburg 1/31
- Arrive at TBD?
In case this ‘Con’ sounds like a negative, it certainly is not. While the travel planning aspect is not exactly enjoyable (although it certainly can be), it is a challenge that helps to keep us alive.
