Life as a Rolling Luggager


We retired and opted to live our dream of travelling the world. We sold almost everything, no longer have a permanent home, and are travelling as a lifestyle.

Home is wherever we sleep that night. Wherever the suitcase might be.

The plan is to have no plan. Where we end up is where we were meant to be.

We are the Rolling Luggagers!

My Goals:
Just lose about 50 more lbs. That's all.

My Program:
 Know every calorie that goes in, and keep track of all the cals that are burned.



Lose 2 lbs / wk.


Personal Information:
We opted out of the mainstream a long time ago. Lived in the USVI, taught school, travelled when we could. Now, we're retired and travelling. Last three years in Asia and the Pacific. This year in South America. Because, why not?


Other Information:
 "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." -Albert Einstein (my hero)



I try to live my life so that I make a big impact on the people around me, and as small an impact on the earth and environment as I can.

    Thank you for reading my “Squirrel DOMS” blog.
    I am almost back to normal and gradually increasing my exercise.
    The Olympic squirrel is back too.
    I think our wildlife friends have worked out a compromise.
    The squirrels have their location, the bigger birds have 2 other feeders to choose from and the little birdies have their safe sanctuary.

    I had never had a reaction to any kind of vaccine except for that super over 65 pneumonia shot. The hives first appeared on my arms so I thought I had been bitten by some kind of bugs. There's something in the hills called "no see ems" kind of like chiggers, then it just spread.
    They did all kinds of tests thinking some kind of tick - all negative.
    I suppose I could find out what the solvent actually was but it doesn't matter. That Pneumonia shot is a one time thing and steroids both oral and cream took care of the hives

    Jeannie got her shot this past week so once they work through the school personnel, Joe and I will sign up for an appt.

    Thank you for reading my blog “Which Way to Warsaw”
    Joe is starting to plan our next trip (August to Lithuaia) for our next course in person.
    He is such an optimist.
    I had to research the "solvent" ingredients of the vaccines and I think I am OK. I had a somewhat severe reaction to that super pneumonia shot that was attributed to the "solvent" The regular shot I had gotten previously was fine.
    Anyway, the COVID vaccines contains PEG (polyethaline glycol) which has "never been approved for use in a vaccine before". So I should be OK. Whatever gave me all body hives it wasn't PEG. PEG is also used in toothpaste and a variety of other products.
    Looks like I'm good to go for whenever shots are available to us hermits.

    Let's hope that the newly appointed head of the vaccination program (a black doctor from Lynchburg) who has spend the year working with covid patients will be able to change some minds. He was defeated for congress in my district by a clueless homophobe even to the right of Trump who won the GOP nomination away from the very conservative congressman because that guy had the audacity to attend a gay wedding. Welcome to my world.
