Michael and I recently retired. We stored everything we couldn’t part with (art and prized possessions), sold most everything else, packed a trailer with what we’re taking with us and are traveling for the next 3-10 years. Our plan is to rent a fully furnished house, in a place we’ve always wanted to visit, live there for 3 months and then move onto the next place.
Our first location is Key West, Florida and will be here until mid August. From here we will be traveling to the Outer Banks, North Carolina for the remainder of August through mid November. We plan to travel to Grenada, West Indies for 3 months from roughly January through March. We need to secure a place to stay that we can afford during high season and figure out how to get Mick, our Irish Setter, there and back (no quarantine, thank goodness). Once we’ve done that we will fill in the missing location that will be “home” between the Outer Banks and Grenada.
We’re choosing to stay primarily in the United States as long as Mick, our Irish Setter, is alive and then we plan to travel internationally.
The OBX – how exciting! One of my favorite places in the whole wide world !! My parents owned a beach front condo for over 10 years in Kill Devil Hills but sold it when they retired a couple of years ago. The property has since burned down which was sad and emotional being all the fun times we had experienced there! Skyler even learned to swim in the condo pool! We still try to make it down to the OBX at least once a year. I hope you love it as much as we do and if you are up for visitors perhaps your nephew (Akara) and I could stop by for a visit during the time you are there. =)

Hi Kim – We’d love to see you guys. We’ll be there from about 8/18 to 11/15. Once we’ve landed, let’s synch on a date.
How fun! Try Duck in OBX. We just love that area. Away from all the commercial stuff but close enough to get to it.
Thanks, Jill. The house we are renting is in Duck. 12 houses from the ocean, one house from the intercoastal. Only beach on the Outer Banks where dogs can run free. Can’t wait to get there.
