It finally all came together. We closed the house a week ago today! Finally we are rolling. It has been a learning curve but all is good. We are learning to just relax and let the stress go. We are in Canada now don't know how long we will stay. That is the beauty of this life. We don't have to have a ret...

Hi All, We've been busy the past few days. We sold our little red sports car and our two waverunners. You just can't take all of the toys with ya.

We finally have a for sale sign in our yard. When the house sells...we will officially be ful-timers. I did not realize what a relief it would be just to put up the sign! I feel like we are A LOT closer to the reality of full-timing just because we have a sign in our yard.

This may seem like a silly, nit-picking questions but how do you find campgrounds that are peaceful and don't have loud, wild parties and music on the weekends? We're just not into that type of thing. This campground has been really quiet 7 days a week until last weekend. We're assuming it's going to...

Some say that they are embarrassed or unhappy about the way that the Osama bin laden raid went down. Here is my opinion about what happened. All are free to disagree but it will not change my mind.
