I have been spending a lot of time lately thinking about next winter. Specifically: where to be and what to do? We plan on staying in one place January to March next year. Possibly until April. During that time we both want to work. Well, “want” may be too strong, but our budget demands that we work much of next year, to delay dipping into Social Security. So we need to find a place that allows long-term camping and is near jobs. It probably has to be near public transportation too as we will have only one car /monster truck. Or one of us needs to telecommute.
Actually telecommuting would solve one other problem: what to do with the dogs. Most RV parks prohibit leaving dogs alone in the RV. Perhaps the rule can be bent if the dogs are quiet (and I don’t know yet if ours will be), but for planning purposes it is best to arrange a work schedule which allows one of us to be in the RV.
This is going to be difficult, if not impossible.
Ideally we would have these jobs arranged before we even hit the road. But that, too, will be difficult if not impossible.
One thing is certain: we can’t stay four months in the boonies. We have to be near jobs. So that pretty much limits us to (in order of preference): San Diego, San Francisco / San Jose or LA. For purposes of planning the last segment of the Trip West, I will assume San Diego.
But it is time to clean up those resumes and start contacting the employment agencies.
