Firstly there will be turkey for this Nomad Thanksgiving. Details in Nomad-Thanksgiving-Bob Davis Podcast 1121.

Secondly there will be a counting of blessings.

Finally there will be some planning for the future.

Above all Americans will be surprised to learn that Thanksgivings Per Se are not exclusively American.

In fact Pilgrims in Massachusetts and early settlers in Virginia would have brought the concept of a day of thanksgiving with them.

Because such days have been common going back eons.

Therefore counting one’s blessings on this day is the primary reason for the day.

Unfortunately we have turned Thanksgiving into an affair fraught with pressure.

Indeed the whole ‘holiday’ season from here on can get a little ridiculous.

So, having a nomad thanksgiving with a band of merry travelers under the Arizona sky can be pretty rad.

Even more my anxiousness this time of year always gives way to thinking about and sketching out plans for travel in the coming year.

Compared to drunken uncles and screaming arguments about politics back home…

Nomad Thanksgiving is Paradise.

As a matter of fact I cherish this time of relative quiet to review my past travels…

And to hash over batteries, bathrooms and other issues…

Or places to check out in future travels…

With the crew.

Of course in between mouthfuls of store bought Thanksgiving Dinner and Pecan or Pumpkin Pie.

Surprisingly there will be no football games on TV or dad falling asleep on the couch this year.

Nomad Thanksgiving Is Like Eating At The Kid’s Table

Significantly it will be like eating Thanksgiving Dinner at the kid’s table so many years ago.

Undeniably more fun than at the table with the ‘adults’.

That said it is unquestionably important to give thanks to friends…

And family…

And as a matter of fact fellow travelers.

No Pressure

All things considered it’s a great time because there’s no pressure.

In brief grab a couple of tables.

Throw out the paper plates.

Grab the dinner from the store.

Make a fresh pot of coffee.

And finally sit down.

Happy Thanksgiving!
