So my dad was a wanderer and some of my fondest memories are of our family vacations from MI to MO and NE where our kin lived. I have him to blame for my wanderlust. Now that the wife and I are retired and in good health, we have started talking about doing more than just a couple weeks of vacation and travel. We have decided that we want to get out of the Michigan winters and head some place warm next fall. We plan to move around some and not stay put for months in one spot initially the first winter. We will come back to our home when the weather turns warm up here. If we like it as much as we think we will, then we may move on to a more fulltime plan. Since we really enjoy Michigan in the summer we have no plans not to return even if we have no place to "call home".
We have somewhat of a "unique" opportunity with our living situation, as our daughter and her family live right behind us in a rural setting in a little house we were able to purchase out of an estate sale and renovate. Now that our home is mortgage free and because we sold them that house with a "gift of equity" we are discussing a plan of someday fulltiming and them moving into our house and either selling the little house, or renting for additional income. Lots of things to discuss and work through. I don't like the idea of fulltiming and having the physical and financial responsibility of a S&B so the idea of our kids being able to benefit from that move seems like a doable plan. I put in a pole barn some years ago and installed a cement pad with a sewer and electric for my fiver, so as long a the daughter is the owner, I will have a place to pull into when I want.
We are planning on making this first winter's trip in our current rig, but have already been looking at floor plans and models to move up to. I have been reading a lot of the posts concerning the fulltimer lifestyle and am very appreciative of all the info. and advice everyone shares on this forum. Thx.
