Went fulltime April 14, 2012 and we will both retire on 9/12/12. We are taking off the next morning. Glad we're finally going to join all you retired fulltimers out there.....

Congratulations! I can think of no other greater personal triumph than being able to retire and enjoy your life free of servitude!

Enjoy and I'm so happy for you both!

Yay! Congrats, we went fulltime March 9, 2006, no regrets. Love it, no plans to settle down. We love being able to spend quality time with family members around the country and park hosting.

Congrats Eric and Ginny! We have been full time and retired since March 2011 and love it. We have visited with family and friends that we hadn't seen in years. Our biggest worry right now is where to go next. LOL Enjoy!

Congrats Ginny & Eric! Fellow 04 Vectra owners and New Yorkers. We retired 2 years ago next month and never looked back. We are only 1/2 timers though. Enjoy.

Well, we're going from Schenectady, NY on this Thursday morning to Hershey, PA for the big RV show then to Eugene, Oregon to get solar panels installed at AM Solar then (unplanned) we're coming back east to southern New Hampshire for the birth of our first Grandchild, a boy. So.... too many miles but it couldn't be avoided. We'll sloww down after that.

Sounds like a good haul for that first trip, but, that should be a beautiful trip. It took us about a full year after hittin the road full time to learn how to "slow down." We were still in the work, vacation, hurry up mode but we NOW know ya don't have to log 400 or 600 miles a day, just took us awhile to learn.

Have a great trip.

Steve & Lynette

See you on the road.

Congratulations!

Before you know it, you'll be doing so many fun things you really won't know how you ever had time to work! Begin working on that bucket list.

Safe travels.

Rick
