Took a buyout and early retirement. Sold home in Dallas, bought a Winnebago Sightseer. Put 50,000 miles on it the first year. Moved to Florida and stayed in extra home parents owned. Traded the Winnebago for DP. After mom passed away, sold the house as part of estate and asked ourselves what next? Buy, rent, build? We looked at the DP in the driveway and said.. let's full time!! Gave all the heirlooms and keepsakes to the family, had a huge garage sale, moved the rest into the RV and hit the road and never looked back!! We've put 100,000 miles on the DP in 8 years and still places we haven't seen. My mom who loved camping used to say you have to "put a stake in the ground" if you want to do something. Just saying "some day" doesn't cut it. Instead, say on Friday at 5pm we're leaving. We still live by that today. Tomorrow at 6am, we're leaving!
