Feets, Don't Fail Me Now!

Our worldly belongings

You might get the impression that we move around a lot... Do ya think?

Every once in a while I try to mentally catalog all of the moves we've made since Jennie and I got hitched in June of 1993. There have been (ahem) a few...Let's take a look:

Albuquerque, New Mexico to Bulgaria
Bulgaria to Albuquerque
Albuquerque to Jakarta, Indonesia
Jakarta to Albuquerque
Albuquerque to Perth, Australia
Perth to Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix to Panama, Panama
Panama to Phoenix
Phoenix to Austin, Texas
Austin to Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ljubljana to Managua, Nicaragua
Managua to Tucson, Arizona
Tucson to Albuquerque
Albuquerque to Kyiv, Ukraine
Kyiv to Albuquerque
Albuquerque to Vientiane, Laos
Vientiane to Albuquerque
Albuquerque to Buenos Aires, Argentina (pending)

I'm exhausted just typing that. Everyone knows what moving house entails: liquidating stuff, making decisions, storing belongings, packing boxes and suitcases, taking care of details - utilities, housecleaning, deposits, notifying banks, post offices. These are the things you do when you move across town, much less to Timbuktu. We have gone through this process so many times that I guess it's second nature to us now, but if I think about how many times we've gone through the entire rigmarole - first acquiring and then disposing of all the "necessities" - it's a mind-blower. But that's us: no kids, no pets, no furniture -just passports, itchy feet, and a great curiosity about the world and its people. This Sunday we'll get on a plane for Houston and from there on to Buenos Aires...

Honestly, I can't wait!
