We will "retire" for the 4th time this May ... now will explain, first hubby took a golden parachute offered by the company, then he drove charter busses for about 12 years, finally we sold our home and officially retired in May 2004, and now come May 2017 will be 13 years full-timing/volunteering/touring and time to be going "off the road" and settle down in an apartment .. we have enjoyed all 13 years, just that "age" crept up on us and it is time to 'settle' down and spend more time with family/friends in the area we first moved to in 1960.
We have kept our residency in Washington State, and for the last 5 years have volunteered in Oregon and have always have had a UPS mailbox for mail delivery where-ever we are .. has worked from here to Vermont, Arkansas, Idaho, or where the road led us. And may keep it after we settle down into an apartment, simply for convenience of picking up pkgs there instead of at the apartment building. When we traveled or were out of state, we simply emailed them to use credit card on file, and gave/give them the address where we will be for the next 10 days to receive our mail. Safe & secure.
Sure we have had some "bumps" along the way, but this life has worked out fine for us. So we retired to "something" and did take a couple of years off to combination traveling/touring/volunteering across these United States, plus Canada, so have had a varied life for sure.
This site RV.NET was the place came to when first considering Full-timing in an RV. We researched and went to RV Shows for about 16 months before we made the purchase of a TT and acquired the things like hoses, etc. to travel. Whenever have had a question came back here for excellent helps, plus YouTube to show us whether we could do the repair work ourselves or needed to call a repairman ... Thank you all for the helps over the years .. Shalom. Peace.
