I do. Here it is still 15 days before our departure and we are already packing the trailer with stuff that won't freeze or be harmed by the cold. We have been snow birds for many years now and it seems each year we are more excited then the previous years. By the time we will be leaving the Tuesday following Thangsiving (when the last of our many children and grandchildren have gone over the bridge away from grandmothers house) Packing the trailer and the truck with all our kayak/canoe gear, back packing gear, bikes and biking gear, tools etc is like at the supermarket trying to fit 10 pounds of groceries into a five pound bagJack L

I'm living the dream in the land of my nativity (Florida) and plan on staying

I so wish we were more like you and your DW. For us it requires effort to move south and it would be so much easier to just sit in the house, watch the snow fall, and cut coupons then winterize a place, pack for six months, and fight traffic south. We actually need to force ourselves into going through all the effort it takes to move south because we know the rewards will far outweigh the pains. There is a saying that once a snowbird takes a winter off they never go back to the lifestyle. I think we all like to take the path of least resistance even if it's not good for us.

Since we already live in the South we get the excited feeling when packing to head to our 4 month stay in an RV Resort on San Diego Bay for the Summer.

Read you guys were heading for Key West and wanting to know about boondocking.I have only been down that way once TDY working at DOD site. No quarters there for us and we had stay back on main land. Thats a long 100 mile plus drive everyday to get to work haha...Roy Ken

This will be our first year snow-birding in an RV, and I'm so excited about it, I can hardly stand it! I don't know if I'm blessed or cursed though - I'm a business owner (seasonal) and the work just won't stop! We should have left for Fl by now but those pesky customers keep coming :-)

Although we have 11 days reserved in Long Key SP, I'm truly looking forward to 'free styling' with no agenda and no watch.

Perhaps we can slip out of town next week. *Fingers crossed* Meanwhile, it's snowing to beat the band today!

We'll be checking into Long Key for 14 days on Dec 5th

Our reservations start on Dec 6th, although I'm not sure about that arrival date at the moment. We'll be at #14, in a white Leisure Travel class B with blue trim. Please stop by and introduce yourselves.

I've never heard of Wekeiva SP, but just looked it up - it looks wonderful! I'll look in to it further ;-)

We don't leave until January and can't wait. Our trailer is already 1/2 way there waiting for us. We brought it there in Oct. to avoid towing it through a blizzard. New truck to try out, haven't towed with it yet. Excited? You bet!
