Greetings from Blaine, WA
My name is Ali, married 33+ yrs, two grown son's, one darling daughter-in-law, and 3 delightful grandchildren: Opal, Christopher and Max.
We live full time in our RV (since Nov. 06). We mainly reside in Whatcom County, WA, up by the Canadian border in the Pacific Northwest.
My husband, Ron, and I are getting ready to take our first long road trip: we will be going to Yellowstone, Minnesota, Iowa, Branson, MO, Nashville, TN, Savannah, GA, Arkansas, Texas, Tucson, AZ and Napa, CA before returning to Blaine, WA. We leave on September 20 and return on December 6.
Thanks for letting me join the Women's RV Forum. I look forward to getting to know you all and learning from you. I am learning the ropes from setting up to tearing down and most importantly how to drive the motor home. We have a 37' Class A CountryCoach.
Ali
Blaine, WA

Welcome Ali and family. Sounds like a great upcoming trip. Learn how to post pictures on here and we'll all come along with you. I was raised in the Burien (Seattle) area and when now workamping, live in Kerrville Texas near San Antonio, in the Hill Cpuntry. I stay at the Guadalupe RV Resort in the winter/spring so if you're nearby, come visit and get your official Flamingo wineglass.

WELCOME TO ALI AND HER CREW!!!
You will love this group of people who love to camp and travel, and, some of us, who just live in our RVs as much as possible! It sounds as if you are getting good at doing all the chores it takes to drive your house down the road! Your upcoming trip will be super!
Hope to hear from you along the way, and, when you learn how to post pictures from photobucket (or any such photo site) we will love to see you and where you are!

Welcome, Ali! You're gonna love it here...it becomes an addiction. But a good one!
Can't wait to follow along on your trip. You have a place to stop here in NW TN in case you're in the neighborhood - 30A service, water, and sewer dump. Go touring Kentucky Lake and Reelfoot Lake for a day or so - each is about 45 minutes away, in opposite directions. Price is right, too! Nada!
Again, welcome.

Welcome Ali
that was my nick name when I was a teenager in high school, was short for Alice
but I answer to Ava as well, my grown up nick name
You certainly have quite a trip planned, I'll be in that area on your return side, in
AZ, but it will be beautiful weather by the time you get here. Looking forward to
pics.

Welcome to the Forum. We've been fulltiming since Oct. '05 and wintering near our home area (Tampa, FL) in Sarasota. I'm impressed that you winter in WA in your MH. Seems like most fulltimers indicate that their rig doesn't do well in really cold temps. Sounds like you have a great family and a wonderful trip planned. Our first trip also consisted of a marathon run
around the country. You'll be passing a lot of sisters on that trip, so you might get to meet a few in person. Looking forward to following your adventures. carold
