Sorry to ask so many questions but my wife is concerned that if we start doing some extensive traveling, do you plan short triips around Dr. Appointments,getting prescriptions filled ect. Will Dr's work with you so you don't have to keep coming back to your home base etc.How do you full timers juggle your healthcare, paying your everyday bills etc. it kind of sound like a dumb question but she is a retired Police officer who was hurt on the job and always has to make appointments or get RX's filled.

All of the medical stuff kind of depends on how your individual insurance works. I am a retired LEO and my insurance is tied to my previous employer.

We are back in our original home area every summer and make all of our appointments then. We have finally gotten our Doctors "trained" to the fact that we are all over the U.S. during the rest of the year and they work with us pretty well.

At first we were using Walmart for one month script refills. Our thinking was that wherever you go there is always a Wally World. That soon turned into a nightmare and now we do 90 day scripts by mail.
