the long answer

 Now that the house has FINALLY sold and we are leaving Alaska, everyone is asking "where are you going?"

The short answer:  "Everywhere!"

The long answer:  We're going on a road trip.  Currently the plan takes us about 8,000 miles through 29 states.  That will likely change because I don't have a schedule.  I don't know where I belong, and I'm thinking that I will find my place somewhere along the way.

The longer answer:  Our plan is to travel through these cities:

• Seattle, Washington
• Olympia, Washington
• Astoria, Oregon
• Cannon Beach, Oregon
• Tillamook, Oregon
• Portland, Oregon
• Boise, Idaho
• Pocatello, Idaho

Aren't you glad you asked?

We're planning a combination of tent camping, airbnb stays, and cheap hotels.  We will also not refuse any offers of housing with friends along the way (unless you have a cat).  We will also not refuse offers of housing with friends of friends. 

If you've read this far and your current city is on our list, it's probably because we want to see YOU!  I don't know when we'll be there. I'm thinking this whole trip will take about 60 days.  I plan to keep this blog updated throughout the trip so if you're interested you could follow us and get an estimate of when we might be near you.  

*  from New York, it makes sense to go visit Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, etc., so we will probably add a few more states.
