We have been diligently pursuing our dream job for fulltiming. We just spent 10 days in Albuquerque at the Balloon Fiesta doing a dry run. This week we found out we GOT IT!!!
We both have experience working for a music festival here in Kansas and used our contacts to create a job for ourselves. This new job will have us working for a company that provides the ticketing software and ticketing scanning equipment for each festival they contract with. We will be travelling from festival to festival, setting up equipment, training on how the equipment works and troubleshooting any problems.
We will have 3 to 4 weeks between each festival and the farthest travel distance between will be 740 miles. PLENTY of time for taking it easy and the BEST part is that we will spend a month in the area around our children! We will also be travelling to places where we can get back in touch with friends and family we haven't seen in a while!
2nd best....this will allow us to NOT work over the winter and just enjoy.
Dave has already put his notice in for his last day of 15 March, so we will be ready to go for our first festival at the end of March!
We are so excited, we will barely be able to make it through the next 5 months!!!

Thanks everyone for your well wishes! We are looking very forward to being "mobile" fulltimers instead of "stationary" fulltimers!
Now to make it through the next 5 months!!!
