Technically this blog has been going on for a while now since we started talking about our camping trips. The main purpose however was to have this blog eventually chronicle our adventures and life as full time RVers. One of the things we’ve always wanted to try before getting to the full time lifestyle was to have a small travel trailer or teardrop to pull behind our cars for weekend trips and the like. Well, we’ve officially started that phase…
So the other morning on one of our typical jaunts to the dog park with Hazen & Mike, we happened to bump into an older couple and strike up a conversation. As it would happen, they had been long time RV’ers, and began telling us tales of the open road and all the wonderful sites they’d seen. If it were not for a few things that come along with old age, they would still be traveling every chance they could. Better than the stories however, was the confirmation that we are not crazy in our idea, and the encouragement to go ahead and do it before too long! It’s good to know our want for the RV lifestyle is not totally irrational to everyone. Consider us re-motivated (as if we really needed it)!
Unfortunately, a wonderful conversation doesn’t speed up our time table so… we’re still waiting until things fall into place a bit more. Stay tuned!
Wow, I haven’t updated this since July of 2009! I guess I suck at this blogging thing. But, as you could probably guess however, we did not end up getting a Little Guy teardrop trailer when we went to see the dealer last summer. We just have plenty of other things up in the air and the numbers just don’t work out for it as comfortably as we would like right now. Since that post though, we have moved from our apartment to a house (rental), which is lending us a bit more room and comfort thankfully. Now, while we wait for the youngest son to finish out high school, we’re going to fill our time with some other hobbies, so that we don’t continue to tease ourselves with small trips we wish could have been bigger.
Instead, we’ll focus on something we can actually make!
We will however, be revisiting this whole plan now and then, and who knows when it could be kicked off full speed again. After we complete our other little undertakings, we’ll be doing a lot of travelling hopefully via that community as well. Don’t lose the link to this site, it WILL continue! And by no means, have we altered our long term goal of a full-time RV lifestyle on the road.
So yesterday, the Mrs. and I went down to San Deigo, to the closest Little Guy trailer dealer to us. A 3 hour drive or so, but worth it… (more…)
So, the next several years will be a long agonizing wait, until we’re ready to make the fulltime RV lifestyle jump. We have things that push the timing that far out that are out of our control, but we’re more than happy to be patient and continue planning, researching, dreaming, and preparing. However… (more…)
