Making a decision is easy, but then there are a host of other decisions that are called for.  So now that we are not going to Florida or buying a house.  We have decided to join the ranks of the homeless.  Knowing where to sleep was never a big thing.  The default was always to go home and sleep in our own bed.  But this coming Sunday we will be without an established home.  I think this is a first for us.  When you're travelling it's more or less understood that you have to make arrangements, but this will now be our norm.  I confess that it feels a little weird and uncomfortable.  The new paradigm is living out of our luggage.

The moving continues, but the bulk of the stuff has been gone thru and is out of the house so our pace is not as frantic as when we had all the help.  So far we have filled the trailer twice with out cast offs.  I think the computer will be one of the last items to pack.  It is important not to pack important items in some obscure way so as to make them unfindable.

The plan as it stands right now is to finish the plane in August and then travel to Ecuador in September.  This may be an extended stay.  I would like to explore the country.  It's about the size of Nevada, so that will take more than a few days.  It may be that we will launch out from there to explore other parts of South America.

We have heard very good things about Cuenca Ecuador.  It has been ranked as the #1 place to retire.  So it makes sense to do a thorough investigation.

I'm told the cost of living is around $1,000/month there, so we should be able to survive.  It remains to be seen how well we will do at picking up the language.  I think it will be fun and I'm looking forward to the adventure.
