A big shout out to anyone still reading the blog! You truly have a lot of patience and find joy in reading boring exploits from a family exploring the country with their faithful yellow lab sleeping in the back seat. Tuck, we love you buddy.

Seriously, I haven't written much lately, as we've been pretty damn busy getting ready for the move to Scottsdale (actually Rio Verde, which is outside Scottsdale). Between boxing up stuff, weeding out even more clothes (in Arizona, you basically only need shorts, tees and sandals...yippee) for the local missions and selling even more of our furniture, we haven't had any time for traveling. But, never fear....as soon as we're settled, we're hitting the road to explore more of Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and Mexico (probably where we're going to live in the Summers). Mexico is super affordable, has amazing food, a great climate and best of all...they hate Trump. What's not to like? So stay tuned. We're also thinking of starting a YouTube channel when we head down to Mexico to document all the stuff that everyone keeps asking us about....how are the roads, what do the houses look like, are people still getting murdered in the streets (no, that only happens here now), what is the healthcare like, should I live in the mountains or near the ocean, does anyone speak English, etc., etc. If you're just now getting serious about living somewhere other than Hometown, USA...check out International Living. It's a great magazine that profiles lots of areas around the world that are quickly becoming go-to retirement locations.

That's about it for now. I'll add a new post and some pictures the first week in April....and I'll be sitting outside on the lanai wearing shorts and sandals....which I'm definitely not doing now.

Cheers!

Wayne, Claudia & Tuck
