Travel Stats

This past month has been the most intense traveling of our full-timing life so far.



On May 20 we were in N. Platte Nebraska. We decided to take a northern route back to Florida because there were lots of Coach Connect parks we wanted to visit along that route. There were some upgrades to do and general visits. We wanted to be in Florida for the best diving weather which is July/August. And, as long as we were going to be there by July ... I set the deadline for June 28 because of my Women's Executive Club retreat. WEC is a club I've belonged to since 1983. Other women in business, and a wonderful group of friends. I'm so glad we made it in time.

So, in just over a month, we traveled over 3500 miles (450 gallons of gas, $935). We covered 17 states and visited 12 Coach Connect parks. Whew!

So, when I say we're glad to be home - keep that last month in mind. Oh! And, the number one way you know you're really home?!?! You can go to a hairdresser you've been to before! And, just say "you know what to do". I just love the way Marysia cuts and colors my hair.



NO! We are not hanging up our keys! We are still full-time RVers. We hope to be in New England for the Fall colors. But - home is good for a while. Gotta visit all those doctors that our insurance will only cover here. (Don't even get me started talking about health insurance!) And, as wonderful as it is to visit farflung friends around the country, it's SO important to stay connected with those folks you knew for years and years. I'm reminded of the nursery rhyme: "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver, the other gold."

Here we are in our 'home' RV park, Paradise Island.

I'll wait and see...

I'm betting on you, selling your RV and buying a stick house.
