Newbie From CT
Posted: Wed May 11, 2011 7:17 pmHello All,
My name is Ann and my spouse, Sandy, and I just purchased our first RV....a 2010 33' Winnebago Sightseer. We bought it in March and have taken it out for two weekends, last month to our Agility club's trial at the Chester Fairgrounds and last weekend we traveled to Wells, Me. We are doing well for first timers and are learning a lot. I joined another forum and learned a lot from those folks. Then a friend told me about this forum. I'm checking it out. Seems like a good group here, very friendly and helpful.
I am a retired manager, having worked for 25 years for the State of CT in the field of developmental services. I also served in the US ARMY and Army National Guard, with a total of 12 years service.
My spouse is still working. She is a nurse and worked for many years in endoscopy; dialysis and then in IV therapy. She is now happily ensconced in position of Nurse Informaticist....the computer side of nursing. She loves this and looks forward to going to work. This job gives her weekends off, hence the decision to finally buy the RV.
We compete in agility with our three Jack Russells. We have been talking about buying a RV for years. It was always my plan to retire and travel with the dogs in the RV. We got the rig for their benefit. We had been staying in really nice hotels (they are the ones most likely to let dogs stay) and were renting suites as our dogs are reactive and bark at every sound. In order to not bother other folks we would get a suite which tend to be more sound-proofed it seems.
We figured that the dogs would feel comfy in the RV....it would be a second home to them....we could travel anywhere with them and they would be comfortable.
We love the RV...which we have named "Jacks in a Box." Sandy looks forward to using it for agility trials in MA, VT and CT. I look forward to returning to Nova Scotia, traveling out west etc.
I look forward to learning from you folks, participating in discussions and having some laughs.

We love to hear all about your travels and experiences but we also love to hear about life's ordinary happenings. I hope you do better than me in putting up lots of pictures. Some of the girls are wonderful photographers and it's a real treat to see where they have been and what they've been doing.
