Class of 2011

[Loviosa]

My fingers are crossed for your house to sell. We have to sell ours yet, (it doesnt go on the market untill April) and I know I will be on pins and needles untill it does. That is the only uncontrollable part in the whole process and that makes me nervous.

 

Have a good 10 day trip and for Christmas I hope "Santa" brings you a buyer.

Hey everyone. Just thought I'd drop in and tell you the scoop. The house is finally going to be sold - the closing is on Dec. 17th (keep your fingers crossed for us, that everything goes as planned.) We're still getting rid of stuff - almost done - now we get the dumpster for the rest.

After the closing, we move in with my sister and bil until the end of January when we both retire . Then..... we'll be heading to Florida in our brand new toy hauler - a 43 foot Dutchmen Voltage. We can't wait!!!

Hope to see you on the road.

Fingers crossed for you. Everyone interested in our house so far has been waiting for their own home to sell first. We'll look for a post from you on 12/18 that closing happened as planned!

[d2reid]

Congradulations Barneygirl, we are still in the "will somebody please buy our house" mode. I bet you guys are floating on cloud nine about now. Where in FL are you headed?

[Loviosa]

Congratulations. What a wonderful Christmas present for you. You will be in my thoughts on the 17th.

Woot woot...

 

Congratulations Barneygirl,

[motorcycle jack]

Just a Merry Christmas to everyone! I have my present already - a Ford F-450 King Ranch with all the options I wanted: step tailgate, nav, heated seats & mirrors, Moon roof. Also we have the money to buy the DRV Mobile Suite 36TKSB3 come summer. So once we are back from Texas we clean the house and get it on the market. Not looking forward to all the work of getting everything gone but am excited we are starting our next chapter of our lives. Hope your Christmas goes as good as mine has!

" we clean the house and get it on the market"

 

Congrats on the new truck. Good luck with the house cleaning. We are in the same process...

Have you checked out winter prices? Sometimes you can get a much better deal in the winter when RV sales are slow. Just a thought.

Don't have anyplace to store it.

 

You want to take it for me ? Just run it around at least a week a month, check the water tanks, electrical equipment and the levelers?

Sorry, had to have some fun with you, didn't I?

[LFDR3116]

Sure - we'll take it on a little tour for you. First you would have to get thru the ice and snow to get to Michigan !

Karen -

 

The FROG displays are a silent way for those of us who travel to confirm that we are "Firmly Relying On God" to watch over us and those we meet. Thus, F.R.O.G. as our yard pet.

Welcome to the group Karen and Al. I was wondering if I had missed another new edict from D.C. and that they had added a thirteenth month, but then seeing 99 days I figured it out.

 

When I started this post I expected that we'd begin fulltiming in '11, but things happened and now we will have to move our target date out. Too much to do at my job, but I am cutting down the days per week I work so I can get more done on the truck. Pat enjoys working out of the house and since she is 50/50 part of the final decision and we both love our jobs we figure that the highway will still be paved in the future and we'll stay here in beautiful middle Tennessee for at least another year.

 

And to everyone in this group - I hope you all have a safe and happy Christmas season. And the merriest (fill in the blank for your taste of greeting) of the season. The best luck to those that are selling your houses, buying new or new to you RV's and I hope that we can all be in the same campsite sometime in the future.

Hi All

 

Just thought I would add my two cents in.

We hope to leave the second week in January 2011. I already retired and my wife Ann is retiring next week, Dec 23 2011.

We will leave for three months and return the beginning of April. Get our house ready for sale, sell everything and hit the road.

 

In January we are headed for Quartzsite for the show. Then to Congress AZ for the Escapees Boot camp. After that to LasVagas to visit may brother and then, who knows.

 

Last year we purchased a 2005 36ft 5th wheel New Horizons and a Ford F450 truck, fully loaded, to pull it.

We had a lot of upgrades done at the factory to get it to the way we want it.

 

Can't wait to hit the road and meet all of you guys and make new friends.

I'm so jealous!!! We won't leave til probably the end of Feb....maybe even mid Feb, if we are lucky! Currently, it is snowing and I can't wait to be a snowbird!!

See you all out there somewhere, I hope!

Hugs,

Carol

I am waiting for the new year to roll around. Then I can say we are going full time THIS year and not next.

 

Have a safe and wonderful holiday everyone where ever and how ever you are celebrating it and I hope to meet all of you on the road somewhere during the year.

Hey everyone. Well, the closing went as planned on Dec. 17th, and we are FINALLY out from under the sticks and bricks Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers - I know they helped. Now we're just biding our time until the end of January, when we can officially retire and head south!

We'll be praying for everyone who are still in the process of trying to sell their houses or getting ready to sell (It's true what they say about feeling liberated, after getting rid of most of your "stuff").

Everyone have a Merry Christmas and/or holiday season, and here's hoping for a bright and beautiful 2011.

Barneygirl

[Loviosa]

We are very happy for you Barneygirl. Just can't wait until we can make the same post. You have a great Christmas too.

[LFDR3116]

So happy that things went well for you. Enjoy!

[KD Roberts]

Congrats Barneygirl. We are fast approaching our home going on the market March 1st of next year if not sooner. Didnt realize how big a deal an estate sale would be so that changed a few of our plans. We are still shooting for being 'on the road' by September 2011

 

Safe travels to you!

[EagleEye]

Congratulations, We hope to have our house ready to go on the market in the spring. Before the weather turns cold next winter we hope to be headed south. Hope to see some of you on the road.

[squire]

Class of 2011, that be us! We will be no longer "fulltiming in place" as we give up our spot in a mobile home park at the end of the year. Retired 3 months ago and stuck around for the holidays but now is the time to hit the road. We have been moving toward this for several years and now that it is one week away I don't have clue as where we are heading. Warmer weather would be nice.
