Greetings all! I must confess I've been lurking and reading and researching for about a week now and have decided to join the conversation and family.
After we returned from our annual 2-week rock climbing trip to Las Vegas over Christmas, we decided that it was time to liquidate the house and cars and hit the road. It is something we have always known we would do and now we have reached a point in our lives where we are burnt out and ready to simplify. Could this be our mid-life crisis?
My husband and I plan to travel the continent rock climbing and mountain biking as much as possible. We will probably need to work some, but it will be better than the office drudge we have now. The plan is to put the house up for sale March 2011 and be on the road June 2011.
Let the adventure begin!

Congratulations! We were where you are about 6-9 months ago. Be careful, once you make the decision, things happen really quickly. :) When we first started discussing it, we gave ourselves a target of 1 year, but as we started to get serious, our timeline kept shrinking. We're hoping to be on the road in just a few short months!
I notice on your profile that you're from Denver. We live in Golden, at least for the next couple of months :)
Good luck on your journey!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to gleaning as much as possible and even providing input.
