We have been making plans toward retirement and things are shaping up nicely. All that is left to do is sell the house and make mail arrangements. The rest of it is either in place or we know how we are going to handle it. Like the Internet connection, we plan to connect through Directway which will be satellite tv and Internet connection together. It is doable now but I have hopes the price will come down soon.

A few years ago (1998) I found a website where a newly retired couple had decided to full time RV. I followed them via their postings and became intrigued with what they had chosen to do. My husband shared my enthusiasm so we started looking into what we would need to do to emulate their lifestyle. We read books on the subject, newsgroups on the net and talked to people about their experiences with various types of RV’s. Prior to this decision we were not avid campers and we are still not. That is way too much hauling in and out for me. But living in an RV full time is far different from weekend camping.
So…after all of our reading we had an offer for a 32’ Holiday Rambler Vacationer fall into our laps so we went for it. We are still 23 months away from full timing but we practice every year for a month in the winter.

We have the groundwork laid and all we have left to do is change our Internet connection and our mail delivery system. I thought that having this place on the net would be a great way to stay in touch with a number of people and another advantage is that it is then a choice to come visit.

I plan to post our preparations leading up to our takeoff.
