Welcome from another left coaster, Inland Empire area. Sounds like you guys have your plans in motion and are ready to take off! Even if it's only down the street! :lol: We're getting a few more members from the west coast, one of these days we'll have to plan a GTG....if I can stay home long enough to do it, that is! :lol:

Welcome Gina! I'm excited for your updates over the next 20+ days and beyond. I'm at RV Boot Camp this weekend and it's firming up my resolve to retire sooner rather than later. I wish I was on a 20+ days timeframe too, but it'll come.

In the meantime, thanks for letting me traipse along vicarioously.

It means they stick to us...like velcro. If you're sitting, they are sitting on or near you. If you're outside, they want to be outside with you. If you are inside, they want to be inside with you. Basically, they are happiest if they are stuck to us. :roll: :lol: :oops:

That'd be great- but I hope we can attend some of the out of state gigs we've read about here and other forums. Any excuse to go further. ;)

We hope to attend a boot camp- thinking of the one early next year. I keep reading that most people wish they started earlier, even before retirement...so we're even more happy with our decision to start now.
