I have let the people at work know so; I can now let my Internet friends know.
WE ARE GOING TO BE FULLTIMERS!!!!!!
It took us 3 ½ months to sell the house but, with all of the bad housing news that doesn’t seem so long. We move into our Montana next week and close escrow the following week. I will retire at the end of the year and we will head for Quartzsite.
We are only in our mid-fifties but, have been planning to retire early and become fulltimers for years. We attended Life on Wheels back in 2002 before we bought an RV. I have been soaking up information from forums and blogs for years. When our youngest moved out we decided it was time to go.
We are excited and scared but, mostly it all seems unreal after so many years of planning.
See you out on the road.

Grant, congrats on coming out and on the sale of your house. I wish that I had made the decision to come out when I was in my fifty's. If I can get a buyer hog tied soon I'll be coming out of the ole closet myself. Best of luck and I hope to see you on the road in the near future. Gummy

Congratulations on the great news!! I'm in the midst of the moving in....doing too much in too little time. My daughter is going to die when she sees 12 totes ready for her to store....and at least 4-5 more coming. I know I'm saving too much but right now I just can't get rid of some of it.
I'm heading to Goshen, IN in the morning for the Escapade. Still have about 2 hours worth of moving stuff in....will settle it over the next 10 days on the road & in Goshen. Then I will be better able to see where things really need to go. (I haven't even started on the office stuff.....<G>).
The only thing keeping me going right now is that once I am done and on the road, my life will be much simpler and slower....and that's a good thing.
Hoping the perfect road journey ahead for you!
