Just wanted to say good luck & safe travels.Think we're the only "used to be" full timers on the board.SRiegles post brought back the memories.He was 56,I was 49.We sold the house, moved next door to the property we kept, with a 3 car garage & covered rv port, with all hook ups.Lived there 6mos...made a nice transition.His retirement party was over at 10pm & we rolled out of driveway at 6am...heading for Fl. One DD lives there.
Then in Spring, we left Fl on a trip that lasted 18mos, before we were back in Ohio.A couple mos in Grand Teton mtns,time in Cour D Alene,Id across Wash & 3 mos on the Or/Wash coast.Down the coast of Calif,on to Az for 3 mos.Then Las Vegas,Death Valley.....all over N Mex & Texas.That was a trip where we did what we wanted...for as long as we wanted.
We've wintered in Fl,Az,Nv,Calif,Tx valley.Spending every winter in the same place/park didn't work for us...we wanted to see it all.Loved Boston, New Orleans.Fields of Tx bluebirds,cactus blooming.....roads all over Tx that are made for exploring.Have been to 3 countries. Towed 5th whs in Canada & 48 states.

It's a mind set...you decide to enjoy it.We loved the travel, got tired of campgrounds & then decided to make garage into a small house. Now we have the best of both worlds.A place we love & the 5th wh ready to go when we are.Sorry to be so long winded. I get started & don't know when to shut up.Pat
