I'm getting itchy feet.
Ya hear that, world? Do I need to say it louder than a whisper of keys tapping on a computer?
I'M GETTING ITCHY FEET!!!
I want to go somewhere else. Live somewhere else. Experience a different rhythm to my days and nights, and hear a different language and smell different food and, and, and...
We are exploring different options, to make this happen. (Shhh, don't tell, but we're still (very faintly) hoping (against hope) that something unique and cool comes through. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. But the excitement of possibilities and probabilities made our hearts go all a'flutter, and now, how do we sit still again?)
Deferred salary leave has been started again. Streamlining and purging and renovating the house are very active works in progress.
I need a place to go. An adventure to target.
Suggestions, anyone?
About Me
- Joy
- Saskatchewan, Canada
- Our family of five has returned home to Northern Saskatchewan, after living for almost eight months in the Tarn (courtesy of 5.5 years of planning and saving). We have jumped back into the life we left behind with both feet, and are looking forward to finding out if, indeed, you can ever really come home again...

You guys are so cool. What about somewhere in South America? Completely opposite of Canada and Europe...
Heh. Thanks, Tracey! Actually, my hairdresser and her husband (who is my son's guitar teacher) are heading to South America this fall for a year or so of wandering around. I'm looking forward to their stories, but she refuses to start a blog about it for me to follow. ;)
