Chuck,

you said it so well, I was tempted to steal it. The only thing missing that would make it perfect is the companionship of a great dog.

In the 1-1/2 years we have been full-timing, we find that everywhere we stop is a little different. We love exploring each area we go to. If we were still at home...I think I would be bored as busy as I used to keep myself. I guess there is a little gypsy in us too.

In 1970 my wife and I bought a 21' travel trailer and joined the circus working in maintenance & concessions. We really enjoyed the adventure of new surroundings and people. After 2 years we retired the trailer & started a family. Five years later I started a business which has grown & is operated by my son. We also own a plane together & enjoy beautiful views from the air.
Eight years ago we decided to go on the road again with a Class C motor home & instantly realized what we really enjoyed. We now have a 40 foot diesel which we call home. Currently on a long slow journey to Alaska and the West coast which is going to be new for us.
We are now retired and living a life as RVers enjoying this country we call home.

Right on! I grew up in South Dakota, and it was the distant whistle or horn of a train that sparked my wanderlust. When the circus came to town I would gaze wistfully at the departing trucks as they packed up the tent and left, wanting to go with them. And whenever I see a plane taking off I pause for a moment, if I can, and watch it, wishing I were on board. That's why RVing appeals to me as well.

Growing up in NW Missouri I also dreamed of joining the circus. Alas, my hometown was so small that the circus never even came close. So, I joined the Navy at age 17, stayed 23 years and then took on another career that required me to travel. I am now 65 years old and still cannot stay put in one place for very long. Writing this from a beautiful beach near Malibu this morning and thinking of where to go next.
