We have been on the road all over North America for almost 8 years now and know we will never get our bucket list done - but we will keep trying as long as we can. We know we will never see everything. It is all point of view I guess. We learn where to buy the cheapest fuel. We do not put on a lot of miles - but we do not stay in one place for very long either. We do spend a week or two and then move on. Sometimes more. Sometimes less. When we stay in one place we start getting nervous and need to move. That is why we started this and are not done yet. We do not try to do it all in one trip - but we do try to see as much as we can. It is not cheap but it is not all that expensive either - if you watch your costs and take your time. There is no way in the world we could see as much as we have seen while RVing. We have crossed countries and oceans by air and we saw nothing but the seat in front of us - which was tilted back so we had no room - and the costs of flying for what they give you - no food - extra baggage charges - etc. are not for us. In our Bus we have all our possessions and room for more. We sleep in our own bed and sit on our own toilet - to us that is worth a lot. We know we will have to give it up eventually but we are not there yet. It is a sense of adventure to keep moving. But we do caution against trying to see too much and to go too far all at once - experiencing places takes a bit more time. I was once a trucker and had to drive past many places - now we take the time to spend time visiting for a bit and find it much more enjoyable and much more informative. And we do return to some of the some places to see more of the place and to meet old friends - and at each stop it seems we find something new and meet someone new. What could be better. This summer we will probably be doing the western US again but we expect we will be driving down some roads we haven't been on before. And each winter we find ourselves roaming over more and more of Mexico - and a long way from seeing it all - and don't expect we ever will.
