The Original (CM)

4. June 2008

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 [...]

My entire computer is gone and I feel empty. It’s lame, but true. All these people from Craigslist kept writing me questions about its specs and when could they pick it up. I told CM it was the equivalent of other women writing me about my husband and I was forced to say, “Yeah, you [...]

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.

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).
