Plans progress everyday. Gradually bits and pieces fill themselves into the larger plan. I just recently received word from an off the grid farm in Hawaii that I am their first consideration for the upcoming fall season, and I've started making my time line loosely based around that.
It goes something like this:
May 2010:
May 28th last day of work. Liberation in my step and a goal in my path.
June:
A few backpacking expeditions for my birthday. Halfdome, Zion, & others. Finish projects, tie off all the loose ends
July:
Work at LOLA restaurant in Louisiana, possibly Habitat for Humanity a few days a week in New Orleans. I'll be able to visit and live with family there as well. My folks will be back in the house at this point.
August:
Three weeks in Peru/South America
September:
Burning Man, prep for departure, sell/get rid of furniture and stuff
October - January 2011:
Rainforest Glenn in Hawaii - In an email exchange: "You do sound like a very good match for us... Stay in touch and we can make a plan for fall...We have had 2 guys leave 2 weeks early which disappointingly leaves us shorthanded and extra busy...Our biggest problem however is with commitment. We want to be clear beforehand. Judging by your letter we expect you do understand...You are the first person we are considering for fall."
February & March 2011:
Begin construction of The Shire in Mississippi
April - June 2011: Odiyan Tibetan Buddhist Retreat Center building temples, maintaining gardens, learning of Buddhism.
July 2011 & on: WWOOFing on other farms in Montana, Colorado, Oregon, and eventually back to California.
So that's what it's kind of looking like. As the days go on, things become more solid, and other opportunities present themselves, but this is my projection of the next year, right now.
Who knows what will happen.
