When we agreed to be the night managers here at the independent retirement community, we decided we would live here for about two years without a whole lot of actual plan as to what we would do after that. It’s been almost a year now, and I spend a lot of time thinking about what Robert and I will be doing after this.

Most people assume that since we are here working nights here, with other jobs during the day, that we’re saving away for a house. While we are saving away, and someday we’ll probably buy a house, we don’t feel ready to be tied to one place.

Actually, our plans seem to be quite the opposite.

We’ve been talking about, and researching, buying a truck and a travel trailer and traveling. This has turned into an amazingly doable plan, and I keep getting more and more excited about it. I’ve even started putting together a folder of road trip songs.

We’ve been looking into trailer sizes and options, and getting a diesel vehicle we can convert to run on waste vegetable oil-true hippie souls that we are.

The first weekend of May we are headed to an RV show to look at some trailers in person. It’s so exciting!

I’m having a lot of fun looking through the book 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die by Patricia Schultz that I got from the library this week and putting together a list of things I want to see and do. Any recommendations?
