People ask us how long do we plan on staying overseas. We usually say something along the lines of, "Well we have a contract for 2 years, but we plan on at least 4 years..." We're not trying to sell everything and live overseas for a short while. I'm thinking 8-10 years. I hear you can fall in love with the life. We'll be making less money but saving more!?!? Living in the Bay Area, the thought boggles the mind. You gotta have some bank to live well in the Bay Area. Property prices are obscene even after the housing bubble burst. I've also become more and more interested in living in a place like Vietnam or Amsterdam or Addis Ababa.

So beyond the exciting idea of our future, the nitty gritty is we got to really start to move shit. We've freecycled and craigslisted a number of things already. I've opened up a storage unit and now we just have to start moving things into the unit. I'm trying to go for at least one trip a weekend to the storage unit. Just get things there. But the hardest part is getting the stuff there. Every time we move something out of the house and just reduce the clutter that much more, I get excited. I'm ready to start my Latin American adventure with AL and Mr. Babyman.
