So what are your plans for 2017?

Changed plans for Independence Day. Visiting Boston is out and the Adirondacks are in. Camping at 2 different water access only NY state sites over 11 days.

So the wife has been retired for a few years now, and last January I finally pulled the plug on work and retired too. I wanted to stay put here in MI for the first year to "get the feel" of retired life. We are now in the long term planning stages for next winter which will NOT find us in MI if all things remain the same.

We have a few camping trips already set up for here, and then plan on departing sometime in late November for someplace warm. We will not set any specific agenda or destinations other than we do want to wander around this first winter season to see places we have never seen yet. We have decided we are going to keep our current fiver even though we have been looking at many, many floor plans for our next rig.

We have to determine what we are going to do concerning our S&B. We are not planning on selling yet, so we have to figure out that end of it. Maybe a house sitter for the winter?? Our daughter lives right behind us in a rural setting and could keep an eye on things for us too if the house sitter thing doesn't pan out. We'll see.

I have been digesting as much as I can about extended living in an RV from this and a couple other forums. We are not new to RVing, but have not been gone from our home for more than a few weeks at a time. I know there will be some things that we will have to learn about living on the road for months on end.

Thanks in advance to those who might choose to offer some advice!

Three week trip planned so far. First stop is Agawa Bay, part ofLake Superior Provincial Park - incredible spot. Then north and east to Ivanhoe Lake PP; literally in the middle of nowhere. Next to Kettle Lakes PP - see Timmins and vist Cochrane and the Polar Bear Sanctuary. Then head south to Marten River PP near North Bay and ending up at Killbear PP on the shores of Georgian Bay. Ive lived all my life in this huge province and have never been to half these places....cant wait!!!

the wife is still working so its some long weekends. We have found a couple of new spots to go within a 5 hour radius of home. We are either going remodel the kitchen or take a long trip in the fall.

Still working so only long weekends at the beach in the trailer. 10 days at Zion and Grand Canyon in June but not camping. Camping at the Celtic Games at Alameda County Fairgrounds over Labor Day (It's a hoot!!) Planning a camping week up on the Oregon Coast this fall to look at retirement places.

Well I went full time 1/1 and had planned on doing the follow the 70's thing by heading south until it warmed up in the Colorado Rockies. Spend some time up there, then head east stopping in Michigan to see family before going on and eventually south again.

On the way down to the Q I stopped in a full hook up park to de-winterize and ended up accepting a work camping gig for the owner that wants to travel. It looks like I'll be heading to San Antonio, NM next week. So much for retirement.

planning a beach trip with DD and DGD's (4 and 6 mo) for July.. Weekend trips have had a kink thrown in them as my work schedule is changing, but I will still get some in. Just not sure how far I will be able to go.

Considering trading TT for fulltime Class A during the year sometime. Thinking it will be easier to trade and then sell house, than be frantically looking for MH and closing on house, moving etc.

Major trip this year will be to attend son's graduation in Boston at MIT. After graduation do a loop up to maine across vermont and new hampshire over to niagara falls. Then finish up in Washington DC.

2017 plan?

My wife is just finishing her dream of working at Disney World. Next week we set sail on a cruise. When we return, it's homeward bound. Southern route back to Oregon from Florida. This will end our year out.

Once we are home, in June, the renters move out and we begin restoring the house. (It needs some work)

If we get the work completed soon enough, we will do some fall camping before school starts for the Grandkids. And maybe a trip up into Washington.

Yahoo! Just got confirmation of what I will be doing from late May till late June. Watching this

Got a job, unpaid but who cares, as a spectator marshal for Americas Cup 35. They supply the boat, a 21'RIB, & gas. I get to run it & get better than front row seat to watch the racing while making sure the spectator boats remain behind the line of their area.

This should be fun in the extreme.
