We're off

 .

Hello from sunny Cuba, Missouri.  

Our adventure has finally begun.  For the past two months we have been bouncing between Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana saying our goodbyes, and finalizing our doctor appointments.  With all that done and the Montana Rally over we finally hit the road yesterday morning.  However, we didn't make it out of Indiana, so this morning when we crossed the Mighty Mississippi and saw the Arch in St. Louis we knew it really had begun.  Thinking we will stay here a couple of days and then head on to Branson.  We haven't been there, so listening to what everyone has been telling us about it we decided we would stay there for a week or so before we head on to ??????? (just so it is somewhere warm and sunny!!)  Probably San Antonio, Texas before we head to New Mexico for awhile.  Nothing definite yet, just lots of ideas.  This has been Jim with the facts.  Now Julie will fill you in on all the flowery stuff!!!

OK, now here we are finally really living in our Montana.  I still have a hard time believing I don't have more to worry about, i.e. house, yard, etc.  It is certainly a freeing feeling.  We have already met many others doing the same thing and are so encouraged by their satisfaction, and sense of adventure.  Our trick now is to remember, this is a lifestyle, and not a vacation. We don't have timelines, at least not right now, so can stop and just relax and "live" in areas we like or want to explore more.  What a concept!
