How you can afford it.

To give you a big example of not spending a huge amount of money on vacation. Our vacation this year was to Alaska. We drove up from Colorado Springs to Soldotna, Ak, and it took 3 weeks instead of 1 and 1/2 most people take. We boondocked most of the way, stopping in a few paid RV campground to dump, and refresh water. Most of the time, the city we past through had a city facility to do dump and water. Made it to the Kenai Pensilula and spent the summer hosting at a Rv resort. Free camping and were comp-ed for many of the attractions such as fishing trips, kayaking, cruises, and many more. Now we are on the way home and have reversed the boondocking, provincial parks and the first paid full hook-up has been in Prince George. Next will be someplace in Washington.

There are ways to do this great retirement thing and not spend all the kids inheritance, but I'm just trying to make it last until the tires fall off! Enjoy. Search here on how to do it, and many here have budgets and list that will help. Good luck
