Thank you Miss Marty.

We are whipped and hunkered down in Oklahoma. What a winter you have had, this weather is rough. We had snow in Istanbul and thought that was something, nothing like what we drove into a day after we landed. Hope you and your husband are well.

Mike

I also started following their blog shortly after I joined TUG and really enjoy reading about their adventures…

I hope they pop on just to say things are ok with their family.

Thanks for the well wishes. We are both well but have been so tied up with getting our place ready to sell so we can get back out on the road. Our first hurdle was getting the renter out of our place; the second hurdle (and we're still dealing with it) was the animal urine smells in the house. We might have to take out some walls as we've pulled up the carpet, laminate, and just about everything else and we still get smells. We put in new flooring, granite, tile, and painted everything inside. It's looking really good. Now we need to do the outside and get it ready to put it on the market.

We have taken a few little trips (Windsor, Oceanside, Disneyland, Marina Dunes), but we're so tired from everything else we haven't caught up. Sorry. Once this project is done we're very anxious to get back on the road and start the blog again. We still have the North East and North Central USA to do, and we want to go back to Europe and explore. We also want to see Australia and New Zealand.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and an awesome New Year.

About the smells in the wall you have we have a product called Nil Oders down here see if you can get it over there it is a spray and you could spray it around the bottom of the walls it takes out all bad smells like that

Still Out for 6 Months

Although we now have a home base, after 7 years of being totally "homeless" - having sold our house in 2008 -- we are still out 6 months of the year! (like Ray Harper, our inspiration was, as he had a condo to go to also ).,

Seeing more of NW and CA timeshares now, being on the west coast. We just got back from Vancouver Island, BC, which is gorgeous!

Leaving for the Midwest - again,visiting DH's many friends and relatives there - - next month - for a couple of months.

This week is our 47th anniversary - we were married on Moonwalk Day! (BTW, married in Korea -- so it was on the 21st.)

Congratulations Ron and Joan. Quite the accomplishment. Michael and I are getting close to our 28th! Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks. We are also looking forward to getting our blog up and running again after taking so much time off to get the house remodeled. We thought we were going to put it on the market but after getting it done (and it looks really good), Michael doesn't want to sell. Oh well, Monterey County is a beautiful place to have a home base.

Victoria Splash here we come!

My wife and I are Wyndham Resorts Gold members. We are considering becoming Platinum members which would give us enough points to live at least six months in Wyndham Resorts. The other six months we can stay in a seasonal home. In this scenario, Wyndham Resorts would be our only property ownership. I would appreciate hearing iany suggestions about: 1) claiming Wyndham Resorts as a primary residence for tax purposes, 2) how to select a home address/residence, and 3) how to manage mail forwarding.

Sorry, we don't check in on Tug as much as we should. We have been enjoying New England and will be leaving here on Friday and heading to New Hampshire for a week. Or goal is to see every State Capitol and Presidential Library before we get back home to California in May. This trip is different in that we are spending more time in hotels than resorts, which we don't like but is necessary in order to get it all done. Michael has never been to New England before, and it's been thirty or so years for me, so we are really enjoying ourselves. We are having a hard time getting used to the weather, however. One day it's beautiful and the next there's snow.

I haven't updated the itinerary because we're thinking of redoing the blog and just have been going back and forth on what we want to do with it. I tried to do the 2017 and couldn't get it to show up on the blog.

Also, our daughter is going to be having a baby (our first grandchild) and we know we'll be slowing way down when that happens (August).

Hope you are well and still having fun traveling.
