Our lives in a trailer

The movie "Away we go" comes out today. It's about a couple who is pregnant and has no place to have the baby, so are crossing the country to try and find the right place with the right people.

We might not be trying to find the right place or people, but we are in that limbo stage where we haven't got a real plan as to where we are going to hatch. For a while, the plan was to do it in Strasbourg. We are part of the Alsace system, which has the best plan for people in France, we have a doctor that we've been seeing since the beginning, and we know the hospitals/birth centres are very good. But then we realized that IF Axel did find a job before the baby was born or before november 1st (when we would leave our apartment in Strasbourg), then we would have to leave and ditch the apt. And our landlord isn't too keen on renting it out past september as it is easier to rent out the place for the students.

Our back-up spot is Sanary, since we wouldn't have to pay rent and we could go when we need to. Ax hasn't gotten quite comfortable with the hospitals we have seen but I think it's just because we have seen the fancy ones in Strasbourg. I think this is the most reasonable plan so far.

And then there's the possibility of him finding a job "somewhere" in the world and us having to move there right away... we can't really prepare for that! If that happens, then we're ready to go. Our place in Strasbourg is basically packed, except for some books which can fit in a small box (which we can ditch somewhere) and two bags of winter clothes we left behind.

Yeah, we acknowledge our gypsy lifestyle. So when we saw that trailer for Away we go, it made us suspicious that someone has been spying on us and making a movie of our current state.
