After several months of travel changes and indecision, we finally have a plan.  We will be staying in Los Angeles for a while longer, probably a couple years.  Jenn’s health is being  too finicky for long trips at the moment (she has Crohn’s for those who don’t know), and the doctor wants her to hang around to try out new meds and such. Mike has cleverly worked out a deal with his boss enabling him to travel and work remotely 3 months out of the year, so we will still get to see plenty of the world while calling LA our home base.

This isn’t quite what we had envisioned when we put all our stuff in storage and bought our tickets to India back in October, but life changes, and our plans need to change along with it. We are now trying to hunt down an awesome house on the Westside with a backyard large enough for fire practice and vegetable gardening, a living room large enough for Mike & our DJ friends to rock it on a regular basis and a garage we can use to build Burning Man art projects. We just saw one today that looks promising, so hopefully we will be settled soon.

Unfortunately, we will not be heading to Spain in a few weeks.  We are pretty much parking it for now, with the hopes of grabbing a short little trip somewhere before Burning Man, if possible.

The good news is that we are all set to embrace what Los Angeles has offered us for so long- a wonderful community of friends and artists, amazing shows and some level of stability.  So Jenn will be getting some fire going and dancing even more with her lovely bellydance troupe and Mike can continue introducing you to the new beats that you require.   Best of all, we get to spend more time with our friends and family.  Our kitties are overjoyed… or they would be if they could grasp the concept of what is happening. They do not appreciate it when we leave.

We shall have a housewarming party to put our going-away party to shame.  Stay tuned.
