Thanks for sharing your thought provoking perspective Amie. For what it’s worth, I’m convinced that you have a remarkable talent for writing and photography that needs to continue in some fashion. After reading and watching countless blogs/videos about life on the road you have set the standard for visual and heartfelt expression. So glad to hear about your plans for another journey!
Jeff, thank you so much for this feedback. I plan to continue writing here on this platform, (though perhaps not quite so often)... in the meantime a friend who knows the publishing world has volunteered to help me try to crafts/assemble my travelogue into a book. It’s a big scary audacious step and I feel like an imposter (am I really a writer after all?) but I am going to give it a go. Your commentary is the positive fuel I need!
The unknown is a big draw once you step out of your ZONE. I was 60 when I was asked by my sisters "What's your Plan?" Nothing, I said Nothing. It was scary at 1st. Now the only thing I/we plan are big trips. Alaska was this year. Next is Rome and a Med Cruise. It is always fun to get invites somewhere and say Yes. We have a guest room any time you and Tom want to visit crowded S. Florida.
Thank you so much Cindy. Yes! Getting out of the comfort zone is so important- keeps you learning and growing. We will no doubt be in Florida again- friends and family there- and would love to connect!
Amie, your 1-year sojourn was certainly part of the "real world" - probably a more authentic part because you've experienced reality as most people never will. That beauity lasts a lifetime!
You and Tom came to Ithaca, and with time, Ithaca will come to you!

I agree with Jeff and look forward to hearing more about that "adventure" also!

Thank you, Kenny - I’m glad you understand! We loved our journey… and it continues… here in Ithaca! Come visit anytime! 💗
