I have been spending a lot of time lately thinking about next winter.\u00a0 Specifically: where to be and what to do?\u00a0 We plan on staying in one place January to March next year.\u00a0 Possibly until April.\u00a0 During that time we both want to work.\u00a0 Well, “want” may be too strong, but our budget demands that we work much of next year, to delay dipping into Social Security.\u00a0 So we need to find a place that allows long-term camping and is near jobs.\u00a0 It probably has to be near public transportation too as we will have only one car \/monster truck.\u00a0 Or one of us needs to telecommute.<\/p>\n
Actually telecommuting would solve one other problem: what to do with the dogs.\u00a0 Most RV parks prohibit leaving dogs alone in the RV.\u00a0 Perhaps the rule can be bent if the dogs are quiet (and I don’t know yet if ours will be), but for planning purposes it is best to arrange a work schedule which allows one of us to be in the RV.<\/p>\n
This is going to be difficult, if not impossible.<\/p>\n
Ideally we would have these jobs arranged before we even hit the road.\u00a0 But that, too, will be difficult if not impossible.<\/p>\n
One thing is certain: we can’t stay four months in the boonies.\u00a0 We have to be near jobs.\u00a0 So that pretty much limits us to (in order of preference): San Diego, San Francisco \/ San Jose or LA.\u00a0 For purposes of planning the last segment of the Trip West, I will assume San Diego.<\/p>\n
But it is time to clean up those resumes and start contacting the employment agencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
