We're going full time!

Hard to believe a year ago we had no idea we'd sell everything and live in a small 5th wheel (SOB). Even sold the Harley!
The main impetus was the birth of our first grand baby by our only child. That was as good of reason as any for hubby to travel and be free of encumbrances!
We see a class A in our future. We just like the simple life and hate the huge financial outlay for one. We lost a small fortune in real estate so we're still licking our wounds.
So our exit plan? We're investing the pennies on the dollars we've lost by selling all, traveling for at least 3 maybe 10 years-and looking for the place we both agree on! He wants the beach and I want to be closer to our daughter....
So no advice needed, just sharing where we are after one year! Amazing journey!
I'm blogging about our travels...are we allowed to share that website?

Good for you! Enjoy the ride. Still trying to convince my wife that would be a good life for us.

Thanks! It's been a real process but it hit us both at the same time!!! We're blessed! And can't wait! We've been "extended" RVers...and we're miserable when we go home-and our home is a paradise! It was our retirement dream home!

Put your blog in your tag line. That's what I'd do if I was fortunate enough to be able to go full time. Just sayin...

After we spent 3 months in Florida for the winter , met wonderful people and had a great time traveling. So we decided to do the same. Been doing it now since October and love it. Good luck and safe travels.

Yes, enjoying life to the fullest! We owned 6 rentals, plus DH took care of his mom's home and ours in FL for 10 years...poor guy needs a break from the stick homes! We'll see how long we last without. We have a 5 X 10 of those family heirloom type things for only $35/month. We unloaded most all of our valuables on our daughter and her DH as they just bought a new big home and needed stuff and ours was just right! That helped!
