we were sitting in the backyard with DD and SIL having a cool one. SIL says
"You guys should rent this house out for a year,get a MH and see the USA."
No way! says I! But the seed was planted....thought about it fo a couple of months,talked it over and decided to go "look' at some RVs just to see what was out there that we might be able to afford.
We ended up renting a class A and a class C for a couple of long weekends,you know,just kind of check out the life style. Then we started looking at fifth wheels.That was the turning point.
That was 7 years ago.It took just one 3 month trip for us to become full timers.Been on the road ever since. We are thinking,maybe take a close look at things at the 10 year point. For now all plans are scribed in Jello.
I think that the "wonderlust" that I contacted while serving 20 years in the USAF took over after I had been out of the AF for 30 years. that Restless Wind
just never really died out.
It took me a couple of years to figure out that the SIL just wanted the in laws
out of town (LOL)
