2020 A FULL YEAR OF TRAVEL

NOTICE THE LISTINGS OF MY TRAVEL BLOGS TO THE LEFT ... 2020 TRAVELS WILL BE ON THE BLOG AS INDICATED.  FIRST POST HERE, A SAMPLE. 

Today was the first day of preparation to vacate my beautiful tiny nest, where I’ve lived the past three years. I moved in while remodeling and producing live theatre downstairs - stageplays and music gigs. This last August, I sold the property/buildings and have been renting back the apartment from the new landlord. (Also financed part of the mortgage for him.)  Just recently I made the decision to move out and store all my stuff in order to travel the world, or as much of it as I want to see. So today I began the actual process.

Today I cleared items from my closet that I won’t be keeping, don’t want. Tomorrow I’ll do the same with my cabinets, and will take it all to thrift stores, donations. I feel it’s important to start there and it makes packing easier with those items out of the way, rather than doing it while packing.  So the next few days ... this week ... I will be focusing on throw-aways and donations.

My itinerary of travel begins January 1, 2020.
