Retired on Wheels (Added 5/23/10) "Rod St. Amand and Kathy Johnson. Anywhere we want to be. Whenever we want to be there. United States Transplanted Canadians that were living in Dallas, Texas. We are now full time RVer's and just plan to follow the road and see where it takes us."

Generation Z: Cruising in an RV (Added 5/23/10) "When Bill and I were married 8/8/08, our wedding favor was a 20-page booklet on 'Cruising to a Life Together'. 6 months later he retired and we started our round-the-world tour... or so we thought. Back from the Philippines and Taiwan, we rented out our condos, bought Star, our first motorhome, and Vino, our scooter. On 6/29/09 we left for the never-ending cruise of our life. We have since been to Alaska, the Arctic Circle, the West Coast, through Mexico, the Gulf states, and Florida, logging 21,000 miles. We bought a bigger RV/dinghy for full-time RVing and are now going up the East Coast. You don't have to wait for retirement. It is truly not about age. It is about the lifestyle of the ultimate Generation ...Z!"
Better RVing (Added 4/19/10) "Recently retired and ready to spread their wings, Len and Faith Todd wanted to do more with their time than just wait for the grandkids to stack up—though, with 4 already, 1 on the way and “hopefully more after that,” they had plenty of practice. Avid travelers, they purchased a toy hauler with the expressed purpose of doing some snowmobiling in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. But another motivation waited, unexpressed, in one of their hearts. Tour Alaska. The trip of a lifetime. They waited three years and then, in late June of 2009, the trip of a lifetime began."
Pete and the Wonder Egg (Added 3/8/10) Pete - Married 31 years, widower since 2007. Realizing life is precious and unpredictable, I decided to retire early and enter into this new phase of my life. I enjoy my children, grandkids, cooking, playing woodwinds and the mountain dulcimer, and reading interesting books. Traveling with Oscar the Smiley Dog is always fun and interesting, as you never know what he'll get into next. :) Oscar - "13 inches tall, 13 pounds / Hang out with Pete / Wonder Egg traveler / Chipmunk chaser / Whumped up on Sasquatch (see Oct 23, 2008 entry)"

Now, as tourists, we have driven every Yukon highway and explored many back roads. The locations we have visited are on the left, a photo-diary of some trips on the right. Hopefully, these pictures encourage you and others to take the road less travelled."
A Couple of Dreamers Workin' a Dream (Added 1/31/10) Eric & Karla document their travels: "We are retiring and setting off on a new adventure. Our plans are loose, but sightseeing, meeting people and relaxing are high on the list. We also plan on a little "giving back" by doing some volunterring work along the way For me, this adventure started when I graduated high school. Then I had a thumb and a back pack and I traveled the country. Now I've traded my thumb for a pension and my back pack for a motorhome. Years have past, kids have moved on, and I have married the women of my dreams. I am ready to start again on the trip of a lifetime. So for myself, Karla and our dog Kora thanks for staying in touch by reading our blog."

So come on in and travel with us as we spend the kids' inheritance. We are planning to have fun and hope you do also.

Travels in 2008 & 2007 (Added 11/2/08) Beth's About Me "I'm just a run-of-the-mill ORF (old retired fuddyduddy), traveling about the country with my terrific husband Chris and our spoiled budgie Bubba in our 40' Beaver motorcoach. We've been to most of the U.S. states over the past 8 years (we did take 2 years off to live in a house in Virginia, but we try to forget that time.) I enjoy travel (of course), history (reading about it, visiting museums, seeing the actual locations), genealogy (it's an addiction), sports (watching them), computers (another addiction), kids and grandkids, reading, writing, photography... Too many hobbies, not enough time. And now it's gourds - burning, carving, painting. One of these times we'll settle down, probably in Yuma, Arizona where it is warm. In fact we've recently entered a "12-step" recovery program - trying to withdraw from full-timing. So far, it's a rental house in the winter."
Lauren & Barbara (Added 11/2/08) "We have known each other virtually all our lives - born in the same hospital (Barbara a year after Lauren), attended the same hometown schools and church, etc. Although we were friends in this small town 40 miles west of Chicago we did not date until our latter college years. We married on February 2, 1963 and, after a series of short time moves we lived in Appleton, WI for 3 years, Madison, WI for 4 years and Minneapolis area for 25 years. Retirement in 1995 (got out early - never regretted it!) first brought us to Estes Park, CO where we built a wonderful home on an acre overlooking Lake Estes to the Continental Divide in Rocky Mountain National Park. The nearly 8000 foot altitude did not agree with us - although we did a lot of hiking up to 14,000 feet. Having been in "Cold" all our lives, in May 2003 we moved to "Warm" here in Sahuarita, AZ (3000 foot altitude) which is 20 miles south of Tucson and 38 miles from the Mexican border. We live in a retirement community called Quail Creek and love it here. We have a 34 foot 5th wheel trailer / one ton diesel truck and love to travel in it in the western United States."

Dale & Mary Lynn's Travels (Added 1/1/09) From their web page: "No Reservations, No Plans, No Worries.... We received a surprise offer of early retirement effective June 2007. Even more surprisingly, we decided to accept. Traveling by RV during retirement has been a dream of ours for many years.

We purchased a 2008 37 foot Tiffin Allegro Bay in mid-December of 2007 from Davis Motorhome Mart in Memphis, Tennessee. Follow along on our travels..."
