Hello friends I have met and those I have yet to meet.
I am Vicky and my husband is Ira. My user name is a blending of the first letters of our names. I am excited to say that we have decided we are going to take the step and go fulltime...departure date 1 June 2012. We will put the house on the market in the spring and hope to be travelling by the summer.
We have 2 years to put the house in order and purge all of our stuff and get finances in order and medical and internet and........ the list goes on and on. There is so much to do and decide that we are not sure where to start.
Well I guess we have started by reading. Not much sense in reinventing the wheel, so we plan to learn by following the research others have done and learn from them. Use what others have learned and are so willing to share both in here and on blogs and adapt it to our needs.
I know there will be tons of questions we will be asking as we move further along in our plans. I know we will find most if not all answers here from this wonderful family. I know the next two years will both fly by and drag.
Can't wait to see you all down the road Vicky and Ira
Life is an adventure..........live it large.

Hello Vicky and Ira! This is the best place on the web to get info on starting your dream. We are attempting to make it into the class of 2010. Good luck and hope to meet you some day down the road.

Welcome Ivey!! The folks here are top notch.
I am still in the dreaming phase and happened across this site doing some homework. I've read over many topics here and there is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much good information that I've started a spreadsheet that has all kinds of stuff in it.
You'll find this an absolutely great place!

Welcome to the forum.
I'm sure those 2 years will fly by, and you'll wonder where the time went.
