We have been in Scottsdale for a little over four weeks now, which in some ways feels like a long time. I think we are so used to our roving retirement lifestyle that anything longer than 2 weeks feels really long.
Scottsdale Sojourn
Making Our Way to Phoenix
In order for our roving retirement to work, we have to rove. As we all know, roving isn’t quite as easy now as it has been in the past. But it just isn’t practical for us to stay in the Bay Area for any stretch of time.
Time to Hit the Road Again
Since we became homeless and started our roving retirement, we have gotten into a mindset of moving around periodically. Now it seems to have become a compulsion because I get often antsy when we stay in one place for more than three weeks.
Daydreaming in These Uncertain Times
We wrote an article last year Start Daydreaming Now, to help you plan your future. It could be your future retirement or it could just be daydreaming about your next trip. Either way, I can definitely tell you that life in this COVID-19 new reality is making any kind of planning difficult.
Our Trip to the US During Lockdown
Flexibility is the most important part of a roving retirement, especially during these unusual times. Since we don’t have a home, we must decide in advance where we are going and how long we will be staying. Our trip to the US now was primarily to see and look after our loved ones.
