Hello Everyone! I'm new here! Have been reading all the posts and find it fascinating. My best friend and I have lived together for many years, both divorced and needing help with living expenses, one salary just doesn't seem to stretch far enough anymore. Anyway, we decided to full time rv! We moved back to Florida, Don's home state, from Indiana, my home state, to retire. I retired in June of 2012 and, weeks after, Don lost his job with the housing authority. So we bought a small 5er and started back to Fl! That 5er proved to be too small for both of us so we bought a mobile home in a 55+ park in Clearwater. That allowed each of us to have an actual bedroom and a seperate office. We decided a few months ago to go full-timing, a few months after Don's heart attack. He will turn 62 in December and we started to plan to start our full-time adventures in April os 2016. I started doing some renovations on our mobile home to prepare to sell it and started getting rid of stuff. I have now started getting the rv ready for full-time living. We sold our mobile home, but the buyers don't want posession until December so we will start moving into it in November. I think that's a great thing to do, also, so we can find out just what we need and don't need for living in it full-time. That way we can adjust everything to fit our needs before heading off somewhere for a Work Camp assignment. In fact, it's looking like we may have a job to start in May at a park in Ohio. That would be close enough for me to visit friends and family in Indiana during the summer, and Don could visit some friends he made while working at the Housing Authority. Not to mention that the summers there are wonderful compared to summers in Florida. So, even though we will be moving into the 5er in December, we won't officially "full-time" until the end of April! We are both so anxious to just take off and leave Florida behind for a while. We will keep our domicile here, we have accounts at a local credit union, as well as Bank of America, are registered to vote here and our storage will still be here. We just have to look into mail forwarding. I just moved my little Digital Grand Piano into the 5er, it looks so cute there. (www.pianogypsy.com) Check out this link to my blog. I look forward to getting to know more and more folks out there on the road, and maybe attend some rally's. A band I play for will be entertaining at the New Years Eve event at the Arcadia Bus Rally this year in Arcadia, FL. Maybe I'll see some of you there!
