The Original (CM)
Just a note on something I saw on Craigslist that I thought was funny. To sell all of our stuff we posted it on Craigslist. I looked on there today, like have in the past few days, to look up the prices of some our remaining items. To my surprise on the NYC Craigslist there [...]

So this is difficult. How can we go back? It will be empty, a failure to not follow through on this. I have to say that I feel slightly desperate right now. A 4 figure amount was denied us, and we were counting on it.

To live by the scarcest means available. That is what it means to me to conserve. So the question here is how much will we conserve by living in a 24′ RV? It seems to be two fold. On the one hand we will have to be very conservative when it comes to water and [...]

Today we made some progress in making our financial goal. We are not where we need to be yet, but it is good that we are on the right track. I think that is one of my biggest worries, that after selling all our stuff we will not have enough.

Somehow we got the interest of a journalist here in NYC, and he did a small write up on us. Here is the link if you are interested in viewing it. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/05/brooklyn_parents_leave_it_all.html I have to say that he is a great writer. How he took a short interview and made it seem interesting amazes me. I loved [...]

What is most important in life? That is the basic question my family is dealing with. When I look on my life the things I cherish are the things I’ve done, not the things I have bought. Although possessions are great in the moment, I never look back and say remember when we had that [...]

Wednesday, May 28, 2008
A lot of people have written me concerning our Fire Sale ads on Craigslist and eBay. If we sell just the few things that we were written about then we will easily meet our goal and be on our way to starting a new life. However, there’s a huge difference between writing to say you’re [...]

On Friday, I found out my next assignment! We had to choose a list of ten places we wanted to go. I was really crushed when we got the list and Japan wasn’t on there. However, when life gives you lemons…..
Long story short — We’re moving to Korea!!! Someone told me “It’s just like Japan, only dirtier.” We’re all super excited. We plan to use Korea for a launching pad to Asia. We’d like to go to Japan, China, and Thailand!!
Woohooo!
Wow!
So I was setting up another blog and I ran across this one!
So we eventually we had to leave Glacier National Park. A reader of our blog had suggested that we travel to Bozeman hot spring and Butte. I was pretty psyched about taking the advice of a complete stranger, and I was surprised that CM seemed to be going for it as well. About 200 miles later our RV broke down.

We were at Glacier National Park for only 3 days, but so much happened. I just need to share a few more things and then I will move on to the calamity that struck us after we left.

I had really been feeling like the trip was a bust. I had wanted to show the kids all of these different things and they really weren’t too interested. CM and I were feeling that we spent more time with our back on them (because we were driving) than we did when we had an apartment. Some days it seemed like the only time that we really talked to them was to tell them “Stop hitting” or “Share!” I really felt that the hike in Montana really changed that.

Two words: Pure exhaustion. At the time of my last post, we were having terrible problems getting any kind of internet signal and we were headed to Glacier National Park in Montana. Well, when we got there what we thought was a 1.5 mile hike, turned out to be a 4.5 mile hike (thank you, CM).
