Why the long way?
We want more time between the dots. This hub gathers what we see, hear, and learn along the way.
semi-retired. lightly packed. mostly unhurried.
We take the long way around.
John and Marcia MacDonald are stepping into semi-retirement, starting in Los Angeles, and heading west with light plans and plenty of curiosity. This hub keeps the long-way notes in one place, built to load on slow links.
Our travel tempo
John and Marcia are choosing long stays, fewer flights, and the freedom to say yes to slow mornings.
Signals we share
A gentle mix of photos, route pins, notes, and check-ins when the signal allows.
postcard notes
Small stories, wide world
We will collect the little things: market mornings, windswept coastlines, and the cafés where we map the next leg.
