Andy is certainly a talented woodworker. I was married to one once. Always fun to see their creations and marvel at their ability. Very lucky you two still have each other - no scrap wood needed!
Incredible post, Sherry! I'm not sure I could have burnt all that beautiful wood, but it must have been cathartic. I suppose much of your life recently has been that! In many ways, I'm jealous. But I'm also enjoying being along for the ride, and am highly anticipating following your adventures with Walter.
Thanks, Karen. And yes, some of the things I tossed into the fire burned a bit (then burned for real, haha). It was cathartic, yes. This has been the longest goodbye ever, it seems, but we had a lot of grieving to do, so I guess it's all good. Glad you're following along. Maybe our two rigs can meet up for a little camping when we come through the PNW. 💜
This is a beautiful post. I enjoyed listening. Hoping as you travel out you will pass Columbus 😆 if so please stop. I have an excellent suggestion of where you should go in Belize. You will REALLY like it and they can always use a hand. Message me if you are interested. Go with #3 (I voted). The Herat globe is cute but and I can see why people like it, but the simpler two colors is better stands out more.
We will absolutely try to come find you, Mel! We actually love Columbus, having been there many times with The Woodworking Shows. The Short North, German Village, The Book Loft (!); it has a lot going for it. And Belize tips, too? We are there! 💜
Oh, I forgot to tell you about the retractable pontoons and the propulsion system!
KIDDING.
We plan to start with the Pan-American Highway, driving from the top of Alaska to the bottom of Argentina, so there are a lot of countries in the mix there, without even crossing an ocean. This could take two or three years, or it could take 20. We don't have a specific plan. Once we finish the Pan-Am, depending on our status and timing, we could put the truck on a cargo ship and meet it over in Africa or Europe for round two. Time will tell!

I didn't know your former husband was also a woodworker. What type(s) of work did he do?
I am grateful, for sure.
A VERY long time ago in San Diego - custom cabinets.

Call me naive, but I'm trying to figure out how your vehicle will travel overseas. Can't wait to learn more.
