It's been an amazing year for us...almost too much to remember. For those of you who have followed the blog and the pictures, you already know about our journey. Since leaving Florida, we've driven almost 40,000 miles exploring the Wild Wild West (what a great show that was) and we have so many places left to go it will take us many years to see them all. So much to see....so little time. So true. Life is brief...go out there and live it.

2018 will be another travel year for us. We've decided that Northern California isn't going to be our permanent home after all....and the more we travel, the more cool places we find that might just be "our next home". We're heading to the Scottsdale area in late February or early March to try out that area for a year. The Phoenix/Scottsdale area is the fastest growing metro area in the country right now and after visiting it several times this year, we can easily see why. With one of the sunniest climates in the world, great neighborhoods, tons of culture, world-class restaurants, state of the art medical facilities and geographically located near lots of national parks and to Mexico (also, on our list of places to check out), it fits a lot of our requirements.

I promise to do a better job of sitting down and writing now that the holidays are almost over. In the meantime, we hope that you and your family have a wonderful and safe holiday season and a very happy 2018! Hope to see you out on the road....

Cheers,

Wayne, Claudia, Katie and Tucker
