This blog is a journal of the adventures of Rob and Becky...we will do our best at keeping post positive, helpful, and entertaining. No rants, no stories of gloom, just fun and real post. Everybody has drama in their lives and we are no different. This blog will not be our place to vent the bad, but rather to share the adventure. We hope you like it.

Oh, and be advised, we are not professional writers or photographers (and sometimes we're tired or hungover) so if there are misspelled words (probably autocorrect issue), bad grammar, or pictures are out of focus...deal with it...or please comment, we are open constructive criticism and learning.

Ok, here we go with some major changes

Ok, so here is the plan, some people know and some don't...due to the fact that we have both been "forced" into retirement and jobs making 80k - 100k a year don't fall in your lap, we have decided to take the RV that we ( Becky, Chuck, Elaine, Robbie, and I ) have been slowly working on for over 2 years and travel.

We will be living on only our retirement checks and trying to make that stretch. Making 75% to 80% less money than we are used to will be tough. We have set a budget and been living by it and pay on bills with the rest.

It is time for us to quit the rat race and go enjoy life OUR way. We don't know what will happen, but that's when the best parts of an adventure hit you...when you know what's coming next.

Becky and I have talked about the plan and the biggest thing we are unsure of is, what label to put on us. Are we full-time rv'ers, gypsies, vagabonds, traveling rednecks, hippies, etc.



We tell people we are retired and they look at us like we have a dick growing out of our forehead. Some people ask what we are doing and we tell them we will be living in our RV and traveling, they say "that's cool, for how long?" And we say "forever, well the foreseeable future anyway, maybe 3 to 5 years in North America and then we'll see from there". We get the same look as above and they have now way of understanding.

Oh well, it's our life, our plan, and for sure our adventure.

Here we go......
