[QUOTE="Lil, post: 695160, member: 17309"] That's why I'd want a piece of property...not necessarily a house or apartment, but real estate where we could hook up and live and it's OURS. We'd still live in the RV, but it wouldn't move. Couldn't be any harder than living in a tiny house. Yeah...I could do that. Oh yes. There's nothing that says "You're getting OLD" like getting that first letter a few weeks before your 50th birthday! I was SO ticked off. :roflmao: That's adding insult to injury. LOL Jabber got his a couple weeks ago...his 50th is coming up. I think it takes a certain type of person to be able to travel well. I used to love traveling alone or with someone, didn't matter. Never did any huge trips, but I thought it was fun to just get in my car and go somewhere; stop at little out-of-the-way places. When I was in my 20's, I kept a packed bag in my car all the time with a change or two of clothes, toiletries, etc. so I could go on a moments notice. My best friend and I once hopped in the car and drove 4 hours to see a haunted cemetery we read about in a book. Got there right at sundown. Wandered, took photos, then headed to the city, got a cheap hotel, went shopping the next day, then home. Anything could be an adventure. You also have to be able to take obstacles and changes of plan in stride and laugh at them later. I've been so lucky to find Jabber, who is so good at that. He and I once got stranded FIVE HOURS at a gas station/restaurant in this little non-existent town. It was 105 degrees..so no walking anywhere...not that there was anything close. We call it "Purgatory" every time we drive by. God that was an awful, boring day. We got lost in Italy - speaking virtually no Italian - and it was all part of the adventure. I'm sure we'd do great RVing. :D [/QUOTE]
