Among your readers are us grateful used-to-be fulltimers. Thanks for keeping us in touch with that world.

Well thank you. It's readers like you that help me stay motivated enough to keep taking pictures and keep posting on my blog when I don't have anything interesting to write about.

One of my favorite blogs, and i keep track of a couple of dozen. I've got itchy feet to get on the road . Good blogs like this one both encourage me and make me impatient to get started. Getting the last kid off to college next fall, and then I can start some longer trips.

Thank you. I know all about those itchy feet I've had them all my life.

I went back "home" and did not like it. That really confirmed my choice to live on wheels.

In some cases home can leave you, I've had that happen to me in the past. I guess I'm lucky because I still like the Colorado mountain town I used to live in, fact is the only thing I dislike about it is the winters.

Since I turned 71 a few months ago I have had several of those "when are you going to settle down" dumb questions. Answer is "when I am not able to live on wheels."

I guess to a normal person that lives their life in one spot "not settled down" would indicate they think you're looking for something that you haven't found yet. I guess they don't realize that you have found what you're looking for which is the freedom to live in whatever spot you choose.

My husband gave fulltiming three years before he really needed to go back home. I gave snowbirding three winters before I could no longer do it without him. So we are back in Minnesota where I hibernate all winter. My customized conversion van is for sale again making me wish I could go again. Dang old age!

I'm sorry to hear that. It's something we all face sooner or later and just hope it's later than sooner. I don't know how well I will deal with that when it's time for me to face reality.

Congratulations! I always get a little feeling of joy when I hear somebody else is going to retire and hit the road because I know how good I felt during that time of my life.

It feels like I have been in Rockport for a year now and it is still a bit over two weeks , if everything goes right, before I get to roll again.YUCK.

I know exactly how you feel I've been at Ben Avery's gun range for about three weeks and I'm beginning to feel like I was born and raised here.
