Since we have decided that there is “no better time than the present” to follow our dreams, we now have to shrink our lives from a 4000+ square foot home on over 2 1/2 acres, onto a boat with less than 400 square feet. Luckily, I am a purger and I don’t like having things around that are not being used and it really stresses me out to have 2 of something, if I only need one….. SO, how the heck did we accumulate all this stuff?
Currently, I am sorting items into 2 piles:
Donation Pile Throw away pile
We are going to store some items for when we return, so we do not return to a completely empty house and have to buy everything new. We are going to store a couple couches, 2 beds, a couple of TV’s and our dining room furniture. Rich also wants to keep his truck, his Cobra kit car and Kaycie’s VW, so we have a couple vehicles when we get back.
The hardest part is figuring out what to do with my shot glass collection. Yes, I am a purger, but I have collected shot glasses from everyplace I have traveled to since I was 18. Do I break my shot glass collection addiction now…..OR, Do I store them and keep collecting shot glasses while we are on our journey?

Congratulations! Don’t know what precipitated the change but I’m happy for you. This means we can sail together!
We will be moving LIB to Puerto Rico in late September to have some additions made but we hope to leave there around Nov. 1.
Look forward to comparing/sharing adventures.

You gotta keep that collection of shot glasses going! You could store the shot glasses in the truck.
