Travel Vision

Back in June of last year, I wrote a post ‘Sneak Peek‘, that included the following excerpts –

Image 1Gary and I continue to plan our future adventure.  I wanted to give you a sneak peek into our future travels.  We are planning travels starting on or around August 2th, which is the date of the closing for the home.  Our planning involves traveling a portion of the United States and then making our way back to West Texas for Thanksgiving in which we will spend with my family.  Our plan then will be to travel back to Dallas, Texas for my urology checkup and then proceed from there as long as my checkup is good.

After winter we then plan to travel another portion of the United States and hopefully by the end of next year have traveled in all 48 continental United States.

Yes, our further out future plans could change due to many unforeseen variables.  Do not forget, I still must have a cystoscopy performed every 3 months for the next several years due to my recent cancer.  At this time, we have not decided how this will be handled once we are on the road again.  This is an important consideration to keep in mind when we make our schedule for traveling.

In today’s post, I write the following –

When I wrote that post and those words a little over 6 months ago, I had no idea what was to come in the last months of last year and the first months of this year.  I had no idea my cancer would come back as quick as it did and I never imagined I would have to undergo chemotherapy and soon after have a major surgery.  But, ultimately this is what was to occur.

Gary and I continue to have plans to take a travel adventure across the United States.  Our hope is that this will begin sometime this year, and wishful thinking that it will begin this spring or summer. I remind myself, there is a major surgery in a couple of weeks and a recovery to follow.

And I understand there is a few unknowns that will be revealed soon after the surgery, but I remain optimistic the travel adventure will begin sometime this year.

Some of you may remember in May of last year in my post ‘Plan B; your curveball‘, I wrote that on our travel adventure if I am close to you the readers, I would very much enjoy meeting you in person.  My plan to meet some of you in person is still in my dreams and my desires.

Since my initial posts about our travel adventure and the idea of meeting many of you; my life changed dramatically.  But the plans and the travel, though on hold now, they are still my vision for the future, especially now more so than ever.  Why?

Well, because you have supported me and helped me through a tough time in my life.  I want to thank you both in my writings here on WP and if possible in person when the travel adventure takes place.

This post is just a reminder that the travel adventure on hold will be a reality someday – hopefully a little later this year – stay tuned.

In my post ‘Inspection, Procedure & Follow-up‘, I wrote the following –

As soon as Gary and I complete our travel itinerary, I will share it with you.  We initially thought the home would sell faster and we would be on the road in June or July.  Now that it will be August, some adjustments will need to be made.   Once these adjustments are made, I will share to you our exciting travel itinerary.

In today’s post, I write the following –

From Dallas, Texas we will then take a month and make our way to Crestview, Florida at which time we will spend Christmas with Gary’s family.  After Christmas we will then will make our way to South Florida where we will spend the rest of the winter months.

Okay, so I have yet to let you know where we are going in the other months of this year – more to come on that in a couple of weeks.  We continue to plan and schedule and rework our route.  Once we have a definitive plan – I will let you know.

Also in the next couple of weeks we will plan to take procession of our RV we will call home for most likely the next year and onward.  In the next several weeks, we hope to make a couple of test trips nearby to learn to tow the trailer.  We plan to stay a couple of nights and learn the basics of living in an RV.

Should be fun!
