06-21-17 Get Away Day!

Well, we finally made it out of town!  After packing the car and finding a place for everything we got in and drove away.  Our first stop was in Los Olivos for lunch.    We stopped at a lovely spot, Panino for lunch and had great salads.  

From Los Olivos, we continues north to Morro Bay to stay with our friend Claudia at the Marina Street B&B.

  When we arrived, Clauda immediately opened some wine – always a good thing – and we began to relax.

The next several days will be here in Morro Bay relaxing and enjoying our time away.

 

6-15-17 It’s Thursday and we are OUT of the house

Yes, we have vacated our home and are staying friends for a few days.  This lets the painters get in there and do their magic to the inside of the house for potential renters.  Janeen has a couple more doctor’s appointments (Friday and Tuesday AM and once she is ‘cleared’ we are OUT OF HERE!

6-13-17 In a Week….

Yes, in about a week – seven days – we head out.  So, over the last several months we have:  held a giant garage sale; unloaded lots of stuff to various charities; stored a bunch of stuff in various places; moved a LOT of wine from our on-site storage to off-site storage for duration; been to various doctors to get check ups (including a total Knee replacement for David); had the exterior of the house painted; termite work done; and general done everything except leave. Over the next two days we complete vacating the house so painters can come in and paint the interior of the place and next week our property manager will start showing it for rental. For a few days we will be staying with our friends the Bells so we can do final packing of the car and check on the painters.

So stay tuned as we head out for our Gap Year Adventure.

 

6-8-17 It’s actually happening

After talking about it for 6 months, the plans are coming together – the first being moving out of our home so it can be rented.  The last couple of weeks have resulted in empty rooms, boxes in storage and lots of items leaving.  Today is the 9th of June – next week the painters come in to spruce up the place and on the 21st or 22nd we leave…

6-6-27 The Clock Continues to wind down to departure

Over the last few days we have continued to pack up the house and make plans for our departure.  Right now we will be out of the house by the 15th of June and stay with some friends for a few days while the painters work on the inside of the house.  Once everything is complete and all the boxes we need stored have been locked away we will get into our car and head NORTH.  The first stop will be in Morro Bay and from there on to Cupertino.

So, stay tuned as the head out on our Adventure.
