Shrinking Canadian dollar
Wondering how the state of the Canadian dollar will effect other Canadians travel plans. It has made our site rental jump from $3,200 American to a payment of $4,022.60 Canadian. ouch!

The information I found clearly states the 90/180 day rule means 180 days out of the Schengen area. For me and most others I doubt it would matter all that much since we would be snowbirding in Europe and that would mean a max of 90 days with either 180 or 90 days out (depending on whose rules you read or believe).
For me that means winter can only last 90 days and then I must look for a place to stay in another country that is not high up on my list of places to stay in the winter.
Most snowbirds that I know seem to favor 4 to 6 months away from home. The allure of RV travel or park model living is that you head south in your own vehicle (loaded to the hilt) with all your own stuff. Living out of a suitcase or two and having to rent a micro car and then turning all of it in 90 days later just does not seem to ring my chimes.
I really like Europe and will continue to visit, but I guess I will keep my place in Texas for the winter and take shorter vacations to the Schengen areas during the non winter times.
Yepir. Everybody is at a different point in their lives and of course what works for one doesn't work for another. For us 3 months in one place is more than enough. We will be in a motorhome so it might be a little different than what you are imagining it would be. Twenty years from now I am sure we will change our tune a bit but right now we are biting at the bit. :).
A couple of trips ago we clarified with the authorities at Schipol what are plans were and what the regulations were. We did it again in Madrid and it is 90 days out of any 180 day period.
You sound well travelled. If you are interested in an RV adventure in 2017 let us know. It would be a lot of fun doing a tour with four or five couples. :).
