Feliz Navidad/Walking to the Bay

Merry Christmas!! Sarah and I opened a few presents from our family this morning before taking a walk out to the bay. Now we are back in the Mav making some cookies before we head out to the beach.

There's a beautiful trail across from our campsite that winds through the woods to the bay on the other side of the Island and here's a quick video of us there a couple days ago.




We are taking a lot of pictures and will start posting them soon...we just happen to only be shooting film so it takes a bit longer to get those turned around (hence the stream of videos right now).

Thanks for keeping up! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas...

St George

Here's a quick video of us arriving in St George. It was a beautiful evening...just a bit windy.

It's Christmas Eve and we are in Appalachicola for the afternoon before heading back to the island for the rest of the week.

It's Getting Beautiful Here...

The weather in St. George is great and it's getting warmer. It's supposed to be about 75 on Christmas. It's pretty funny being at the beach...by ourselves...living in a motorhome...and listening to Christmas music. But it's so much fun.

We have tons of pictures and videos to post when we get a better connection. We may head into town tomorrow to eat some hush puppies and get online...otherwise it could be a few more days.

Thanks again to everyone for being a part (not apart) of our wedding. We just got some firewood so we are off to start a fire and try to bake/fry chocolate-chip cookies on it. Sounds like a long-shot but we'll see.

On Our Way!!

'The Journey' has begun and its pretty exciting. We want to write more about the wedding soon, but for now, I wanted to post this link.

Changing the Route?

So...as the beginning of the trip gets closer, we are starting to reconsider some of our route choices. The weather is the big wild card with our budget being a close second. Because of these two things, we are now considering going to St George Island and then heading West first, before hitting the east coast in March on our way back. If we run out of money, we want to make sure we can see a lot of the National Parks first. You can view our current map but it may be changing soon (and if it doesn't load correctly, you may have to hit 'refresh').

It is supposed to be in the 70's this weekend in Montgomery. Rain is the big question now...

One other thing - I meant to post our engagement pictures on here but I never did. If you are bored, you can look at them here.

Ring Around America University

Spending two or three months on the road will give Sarah and me plenty of free time. One of our goals for this trip is to learn a bunch of new, and possibly random, skills. We have been working on our list of things we need to learn, but we haven't gotten too far as of yet. So...if you have any thoughts or suggestions regarding what we should learn, please leave a comment or send us an email (jeremiahsizemore@gmail.com) with suggestions.

Some examples we have been thinking of include - learning a language, learning to play an instrument (the harmonica and guitar are the two current options), learning to play poker (this one is a bit risky), snow-shoing, kayaking, making 'ships-in-a-bottle', puzzle making, etc...(personally, I want to 'learn' how to start a hedge fund, but the point is to do things together)

Also, if there is something else that would fit the 'I always wish I had...' category, let us know about this one too.

Only 5 more days...

Getting Closer...

The wedding is now less than two weeks away and Sarah and I are currently sitting in a coffee shop trying to figure out the remaining details of the ceremony. Neither of us are super-detail-oriented people and we haven't been able to completely finish this last step...but we are getting close.

We did some shopping for the RV last night after church and we think it will be ready to go. We still haven't posted any pictures of it but we will once we are traveling. It's still pretty incredible.

The only other significant trip-related detail is that we are once again considering driving to the Keys at the beginning of the trip. We initially wrote it off this summer when gas was close to $4 but making the long drive is much more tempting now that it will only be about $1.50/gallon to get there. Plus, it's been cold - even in Birmingham - and that makes the warmer weather that much more attractive. So we'll see...

That's it for now...
