Greetings, I have been following the Payne's since just after they hit the road, and I was pleased to chat with them in Tampa at the RV show. My wife and I have been camping and Rving since 1974, I refuse to do the calculations. I enjoy laughing with Howard from time to time. I doubt he has done anything that I haven't also managed. We currently have a Safari motor home, fully tech equipped. We expect to start our full time period about Sept 1st. The house is on the market, in Clearwater, Florida. We decided to leave instead of waiting for it to sell. I am now billing myself as itinerant photographer, graphic & web designer, and educator. I am a freshly retired college prof, and my wife is a retired home ec teacher. Look for us, it is a gold and white motorhome and Chev Colorado Toad, and could be almost anywhere. We're on the buddy map and also as datastorm user #3561. Mike Way
