I retired in 2010 and DH retired in 2012. We have daughters that are 12 and 9, so we stay put during school time. During school breaks throughout the year and during the summer, we travel. We camp host in two different states- 2 months in VA and 1 month in MD.
That allows us to camp, but also to see the sites in/around the campgrounds. We eat what we would have eaten at home, so no additional costs there; we are required to put in 15-20 hrs per adult in the parks, so that gives us things to do, the girls participate in all the offerings of the parks - jr. ranger programs, pools, crafting classes, etc.
It is a wonderful life and it's not expensive. We do our "vacation" during the off times of school in either fall break or spring break when we go on a cruise.
We have some rental property with upkeep that gives DH some things to do during the winter months. It also brings in a little bit of extra $$, after taxes, insurance, upkeep costs.
