Retired December 31st, had to wait awhile to get on the road. With the extremely hard winter in Ohio, shortage of propane had to gets some things situated. Finally did so and hit the road. Spent a few days outside of Atlanta visiting family. Then moved on to Ocala to visit some friends in the villages. Moved on to Fort Myers, Red Coconut at the present. Be here for another week. Then we will head to the Florida keys for 8 days. Then we will start heading up the coast to visit more family and friends. Don't know when we will get back to home base. But this is totally awesome. No hurries just relaxation and enjoyment. ??. :)

I'm doing a lot of traveling between Atlanta and Florida right now (going to be working at the renaissance festival near Atlanta starting this month), was a great place to spend winter but I bet by the time the festival is over in June I'll be ready to head north haha.Enjoy your trip! Sounds like you're on the right track. I can't wait to get to the keys myself but that'll have to wait for a future trip I think.

When working we would see how much we could do in 2 weeks. After I quit work we took off for Utah and came back 3 months later. It's a whole different animal to not have to be anywhere, go slow and have fun.

I see you were visiting The Villages in FL. My brother lives there and I'm quite familiar with that community. I parked my RV at an RV park in Wildwood this past winter for 6 months. I usually spend my winters in southern AZ but made an exception this year to visit family & friends in FL. Now I'm in Hickory, NC for a while. Beautiful weather thus far...:C

After 3-1/2 years of fulltiming, we decided that the RV lifestyle we prefer is living in a stix/brix house with the motorhome parked in the backyard(always ready for recreation).

I believe that is exactly what we will do. Do not think we are ready to commit to full timing. But will enjoy long trips, love the no rush take your time and relax feel.

DW and I moved out of the sticks and bricks 4 years ago and haven't looked back. Its nice to travel somewhere and never leave home and never have to worry if you packed the right clothes.
