July 3, 2020 - Condo as a base

We have decided, at least for now, to keep our condo as a home base and not to rent it when we start traveling again.  

And we had discussed earlier not being gone for so long at a time, so instead of traveling for 5 - 7 months at a time, only go for 3 or 4 months at a time. 

Since we had given away most of our furniture, kitchen items, towels, and most everything else, we have been busy buying lots of stuff, including a bed, a desk, a dining table, and lots of kitchen and bath items.  And we also are remodeling/decorating the new condo - new floors in the two baths, master bedroom, and master closet; added shutters to replace blinds (there were already shutters on most of the windows); added a door from the master bedroom into the bathroom; painted all the walls; added some nice pullout shelving in the kitchen, and many other things.
