We're Going For It

Congratulations, we went full time Nov 2005, headed south Jan 2006
been to Alaska the first summer and Mexico the following winter. We travel the good o USA from Cal to Ind stopping when we want where we want. It is a great life you will love it.

We are headed there as well! Sold the house in July, moved into the 5th wheel then. Hardest part was ridding ourselves of all of the "stuff" we had accumulated over the years! And apparently, good, sturdy, wooden furniture isn't worth what you bought it for! If and when we ever settle down again, we'll be checking Craigslist to furnish another house (don't think it will happen at this point) DH will be working until 12/14 to pay off truck and rig. Or, as he says, 2 bad days in a row at work!

Thanks all! I know we are going to enjoy this adventure of a lifetime! And all the work leading up to our departure goal.

Yay! We have been fulltime for 7 1/2 years, too young for SS and we have found a way to make it work. Those stressful jobs were killing us. The first few years we had a workamper/park host job in the winter season and another one in the summer season with a few weeks off in the spring & fall to travel. Now we work 6 months (me a volunteer park host and DH works outside the park) and travel 6 months. You will never regret your decision. My 2 cents, only keep a storage unit if you just can't part with some of your "stuff", don't travel too many miles each day, travel some of the 2 lane highways, plan for maintenance & repairs and enjoy it!

Congratulations on your decision, and good luck selling your home. The market seems to be going up, so this may help you. Hope to see you down the road.

If this was Facebook, I could hit Like!

Thanks for sharing your excitement. Welcome to real freedom.

Soon the question will arise: "Did we do the right thing?"

We will save you some time: The answer is YES!

Congratulations! DH is now in countdown mode - I get to hear it every morning. We leave in January. I wish you the best! Maybe we will cross paths one day.

Nooooooooo!!! Not another one to be jealous of!!! Seriously, congratulations. Many safe travels to you.

That is exciting. Keep us updated on your progress toward this dream.
