Ron and I wish you all a wonderful start into 2024.
We hit the road running and so far we feel super excited about this new year and we are already hitting lots of check marks.
We made it to San Antonio, TX on the 31st of December so we rang in the new year sleeping like babies. Instead of champagne at midnight we went for Mimosas at breakfast. Cheers.
Our first big change we decided on was us slowing down our travels this year. Last year was filled full of adventure and getting so many bucket list items marked off. From seeing places we always wanted to explore, to meeting up with family and friends we haven’t seen in years. A large highlight was the many ‘strangers’ we met that we now count as close friends and some even family. The joys were many in 2023. Not all was perfect and we faced heartbreak as well as I lost my Mom in May. It was a fast paced year and we both realize it is time now to use 2024 as a slow paced and more reflective year.
This meant we booked a month here in San Antonio, TX at the Lackland Airforce Base FamCamp. A wonderful spot for us to get many things on our to do list done. First of all medical appointments that need to be addressed. Pain Clinic, Dentist, Eye Care are some of it. I went and donated 10 inches of my hair so I am even dropping some weight on that end for a good cause, I hope.
Also, our daughter is getting out of the Navy at the end of this year so we had to decide to use this month to move our items stored at her house to a storage unit. This will happen later this month once we settle on a place and then rent a U-Haul to move one garage worth of stuff.
We are also brining home BooBoo today. Sweet Boo was staying with our daughter since we started this journey and we are now feeling ready to bring him home and join us gypsies on the road. So our traveling family is going from 4 to 5.
After our stay here we are planning on heading straight to Q, Quartzsite AZ to meet up with our traveling family there for a month. Then on to Nevada for our Renegade Bootcamp and Driving School before we aim North West. The Oregon and Washington Coast will be our aim this year.
So wishing all of you that your goals and dreams come true. Nothing happens until we step forward to make it happen. Yes we will face curveballs and heartbreak this year. Every year has them but we will fill the rest of the time with being grateful for what we have and soaking in new adventures.
Much love,
Anke, Ron, Keetna, Oliver & Boomer
