Al and I have been talking about our options and were wondering if we
could take some extended trips in the RV before we sell the house. We
may be able to find some shorter work camping jobs to keep the expenses
down. The benefits would be that we wouldn't have to wait for the house
to sell before we can start exploring some places we've been wanting to
go. Even though we lived in Florida over 30 years, there are still a
LOT of places we haven't been to, or explored enough...believe it or
not. If you have never lived in Florida, you can't imagine all that it
has to offer.
Most of our time in Florida we were scuba
divers, not rv'ers, so the kinds of places we went were different than
the kinds of places we enjoy now. We still intend to dive though and
there are lots of places that offer both. We have not explored the
east coast of the state nearly enough. Al wants to start at
Jacksonville, and work his way down. Sounds good to me. We were
thinking if we work camped, the cost of living in the rv would be about
the same as if it was just parked here. We may be able to save a little
on the home a/c, but the other expenses would be about the same. We're
not thinking of doing this for a while because for one, we're not ready
to put the house on the market, and two, too much yard work to do this
time of year. BUT, some January, it may be a possibility...if we
continue to get rid of STUFF! Hummmm??
Jacksonville has some beautiful beaches and a ton of state parks. I think that is a wonderful area to start!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! OK, I'm being selfish here - I'm just anxious to see the photos of all the Florida places you will visit. Florida is still my favorite state - I'm a little homesick right now for beautiful Florida. Sadly, maybe you should hurry with your plans before all of the beaches get ruined by the oil spill.
