Go Where It's Warm
Going where the climate suits our clothes!
Happy New Year 2020 from sunny Bonaire! Some years go by with little change and some are jam packed with change, 2019 was the latter for us. I wrote the first post on this blog on January 1st 2015. We were living in Virginia Beach in our beloved beach cottage, it was a freezing, Read More
It’s 4:00pm on a Thursday. Everything we own is jammed into about 8 suitcases, our dogs are at doggy daycare tiring themselves out (hopefully), I’m unemployed for the first time since I was 16, and I’m having a day beer which I deserve after cleaning the heck out of our rental for our walkthrough.
Winter is over. We’ve had to run our AC all day the past two weeks and the water temp is back up to 80. I absolutely love winter here and I’ll definitely miss it! I finally found a winter that I like! The weather is fantastic November through March. I love that we only, Read More
I woke up this morning to a work friend calling me at 7:30am on a Monday which is weird. I talk to this person all the time but not usually first thing in the morning unless something is wrong. But nothing was wrong.
We finally found our spot! We’ve been planning to leave the states for years but haven’t found the place that feels like “home.” The place where it just feels right to be there, until Bonaire.
Happy New Year from the fabulous Florida Keys! Somehow we’re celebrating our 4th New Year’s here. After our trial winter we planned to be here a year but as the old saying goes “life’s what happens while you’re making other plans.” That said, this year will likely be the year we make our next, Read More
I was back in my old office for work this past week and holy culture shock. I’ve been working from home for almost 3 years now, far removed from the daily buzz of an office. One thing is very clear, I never want to go back to that life. When we first embarked on, Read More
Two years ago today we arrived at our new home in the Keys… how has it already been two years? Two years since we sold our beloved beach cottage, the vast majority of our stuff, moved away from our family & friends, and embarked on a new life. The Keys were supposed to be, Read More
We’re back from our 2nd trip to Bonaire in less than 6 months. We had a great time and did a lot more research on living there. When we embarked on this journey to pursue a simpler life – one with more free time doing what we love, Bonaire wasn’t on our list of, Read More
Age is just a number and 40 really isn’t considered old these days but damn that happened fast! It seems like just yesterday I was 21 graduating from college with stars in my eyes dreaming of a long career of clawing my way up the corporate ladder. Yep, that was me. 100%. I was, Read More
