We're Jim and Carmel and we have been fulltiming now for two years. We both retired in 2008 in Houston. Jim from a position as HR Director-International from a global construction and engineering firm; Carmel as a Senior Buyer from a large Energy company. We sold our house in a Houston suburb and hit the road. We maintain a home in Corpus Christi which we rent out..just in case Carmel needs a anchor residence. We have been traveling mostly in the Northwest and are currently in Montana. We have tried work camping and will do that again in 2011. We travel with a newly adopted Terrier who seems to enjoy the travels and meeting new pooches at the various parks. Hope to see some of you in our travels.

Welcome to you both. Great to have even more folks with long time experience. Especially for those like me just getting started. This is such a fabulous community with a wealth of knowledge and friendliness.
Your blog looks great, I'm adding it to those I follow. Hope to see you on the road

Sherri and I have been a little lax in welcoming new comers to this forum. We are on the road quite a bit and sometimes do not have good signals for the Internet. We are glad to meet you and hope to cross your path...

As a former HR Professional I say welcome too. This rv lifestyle is ideal after suffering HR burnout.
BTW, our daughter lives outside Houston in Clearlake. Hate driving that area!

Hi Carmel and Jim,
Welcome aboard! I've only been here about a week myself so even though I've not been officially promoted to the welcoming committee, I thought I'd sneak in a quick hello.
Noticed you're in Montana and were apparently staying directly across the street from us at Jim & Mary's! Sorry I didn't notice that last week. We were at Jellystone for 2 weeks and are now in Bozeman. Leaving Wednesday for Ennis / Virginia City area. If you're going to be in the neighborhood, drop a note.
Cheers,
Deb & Paul
