Following The Stones

Travel Along

We retired early to save our physical and emotional health. We chose to jump into our Go-Go years with gusto and invite you along our stone pathway. We will bring you authentic information from our lived experiences and hope you find some useful stones for your own life journey.

Here's Our Live Location 2026

Successful slow travelers know and practice the art of PIVOTING. When something happens, they can be flexible enough to change direction.

So, when a family member revealed a major health issue, we decided to eliminate Rome from the itinerary. We had already purchased the back end of our journey which then required changing or canceling hotels, flights, and drivers.

You never know what might happen in life. We tend to plan for what-ifs, but had not planned for this exact event. For us, Rome has been there a long time. We will see it another time. Family takes lead right now.

Joy will come soon too, when we celebrate the nuptials of Greg's youngest mid-September back in the Seattle, WA area.

We are headed toward home next month and will share the 2027 plans in the coming months.

Leave a Stone

Throughout history stones have been used for housing, streets, cooking, jewelry, art, and weaponry. When you leave a kind comment on our website, you leave behind a stone for all to see and learn from. Feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, or tell us how much you miss us. Once a kind stone is cast, others can roll your stone along the path by replying to your comment.

Although we are enjoying ourselves completely in this new nomadic lifestyle, we miss our friends and family significantly.
