So tomorrow I’m flying from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, to Frankfurt, Germany to Boston to Orlando (totaling 27 hours) in order to join my family vacation. I am going to be completely exhausted, but at least I get to go for a few days. (In case you didn’t know, I am a closet Disney fanatic. I agree whole-heartedly with people when they say that Disney World is “The Happiest Place on Earth”. )
And from the Homeless point of view, it is a free place to stay, which will wrap up my first month of homelessness!
A few stats as month one draws to a close:
- Total nights I had to find my own place to stay: 6 (excludes nights stayed with friends and family)
- Flights I purchased that I wouldn’t ordinarily have: 0
- Approximate savings (versus renting my old apt): $530
- Amount of stress caused: minimal
- Amount of teasing ensued: quite a bit
- Overall evaluation: so worth it
Really the only problem that I'm having with this set up is that I still struggle knowing where my stuff is, and I’m beginning to realize that that part will probably never work itself out because I'm just not that organized. I worry for the months when there is snow on the ground and I’m not able to unpack and repack suitcases in hotel parking lots. But that’s still such a far ways away… so month two, here we go!!
