Well next year by this time you should be in sunny Florida, Texas, Arizona...
Hang in there, time flies!

Yeah, its really hard not to pull the plug now. Been working since I was 13 mostly repairing or building something for people and I am SO so ready! Haha! The Santa I have been working with is really bad Santa. He is making me pay a monthly fee until my house is sold.

StarGeezer heck! Your just a kid!!! And by the way; I must have been real bad over the years; have owned the same old 1988 Motorhome since 2005. Santa won't even let me trade up. When he stopped by on Christams Eve empty handed except for the lump of coal; I sent his "duff" packing!!
Enjoy the new life; happy Dancin' is on it's way. PIEERE

The grass is always greener........I'm sitting in 75 degree, sunny southern California and GREEN with envy that you have a 2014 Tiffin already. It's always something .

You have the same Santa we do....usually comes through on our wish list but adds those pesky payments to "prolong the joy of the gift". At least you'll have a year of those payments out of the way before you head out, or less to pay off when the house sells - either way you're moving forward.

Even though we will have to wait for early summer, we are delighted to also be able to say we're heading out "next year". That alone feels great!!

Enjoy your count down list - the reward is going to be so amAzing!!

Happy New Year.

H a P p Y Dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The year will be gone before you know it!!! So last year Santa got us our DRV Mobile Suites (a few days late), only took 4 more months to get it to the "home" driveway and then it was a very fast 2.5 months later when the F450 was pulling the DRV Mobile Suites out of the "home" driveway for the very, last time!!! Cried a few tears, honked the horn in excitement and we were on our way!!! Double house payments with truck / 5th wheel for 3 months and suddenly no house payments at all, life is GOOD!!!

My only regret looking back is that we didn't start the house prep / purging of stuff soon enough, might have made the entire transition a little smoother, less stressful, so my advice is to take advantage of a year to do that. We gave ourselves 4 months, which turned into 5 months but when the house sold in 5 days after 5 offers we were estactic!! Then reality sunk in and we realized we still had way more purging to do, house closing delayed by 19 days turned out to be a blessing in disguise as we got it done with 5 days to spare.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words and encouragement. My wife and I daydream and try to imagine a life without schedule and routine. Its both exciting and frightening at the same time. We go on many trips during the year including trips to Colorado and Utah. Once we are finally under way it just feels so good. We both love being on the road.

Glad you guys are heading for your dream also. Its going to be 0 here on Monday and I keep thinking about next year when we will be somewhere further south. It helps keep the dream going.
