We are almost two weeks in, and I’m still enjoying camper life, although I am definitely having to learn to adjust and be flexible. The thing that I thought I’d hate, having no dishwasher, is actually not bothering me at all, but there are plenty of other challenges to take its place! With the kitchen and living area so close…
Water Pressure in the RV
So going full-time in a RV certainly has a learning curve. There are some immediate things that you notice and then some will come with time, I am sure. One of the first things I noticed was the water pressure in the shower. I could literally spit harder than the water was falling out of the shower head. I try…
See you later, Dauphin Island!
Looking back at our 3 months on Dauphin Island, I have to say that it was a great time. I relaxed more than I have in years! Even though the rental house didn’t have every specialty item I like for cooking and living, it was actually a comfortable experience. I learned to adapt and use what I have to…
The 5th wheel is here! Full-time RVing begins…
Quick recap… We sold everything we own, including our house, and decided to live in a 37 foot 5th wheel RV. Our goal is to spend more time doing the things that we enjoy, and less time maintaining “stuff” we don’t need. Read past posts for more details on that… So, the 5th wheel arrived. We had special ordered this…
The 5th Wheel is almost here
Well…. We have been living on an island for almost 3 months now. The next chapter begins soon. The 5th wheel RV will be delivered the first week of November. At this point we will move from the vacation beach house we have been renting into 400 square feet of 5th wheel luxury, I hope. We continue to have great…
Exercising More…..
You know how when you go on vacation you end up getting more exercise because you are out doing exciting activities? It could be walking a mountain trail, or kayaking in a river, or walking on a beach. Truth is, when you go on vacation you exercise more and may not even realize it because it is wrapped around activities…
Lincoln Chasing Sand Crabs Tonight
We decided to go for a walk on the beach tonight, and Lincoln, our English Bulldog, decided to go. It was dark outside so I brought my spot light. Of course we live at the beach since we have decided everyday should be filled with things we like to do, so it was as simple as walking outside and walking…
Not bad for a Sunday morning!
We woke up today and decided to explore something on the island we hadn’t already seen. We have the tendency to do the same thing over and over again and realized if we were going to travel to new places in a few years, we needed to get used to the whole “exploration” thing. What better way to start than…
Shark Attack!
Well this past weekend was a wild one on the island. On Saturday, we took the boat towards the west end of the Island to a place called the Katrina Cut. It is named this because when hurricane Katrina came through it literally cut the island in half, and it had to be repaired with a wall of rocks. We…
Did I Make Someone Retire??
We have of course been in the preliminary stages of breaking free from the things that bind us. We have sold our house and everything we own and are staying in a rental house on a small island. We are still working, and drive about 45 minutes to work each day. Tami has already turned her notice in to her…
