Merry Christmas, a belated Happy Hannuka, and Good Wishes to all for a New Year!
I've been lurking around all day trying to decide what to say, but so many of you have already said it so well. This forum gave me confidence when I was planning to full-time and shopping for a motorhome and furnishing it and confirmed I could do it, even if my younger son said I would crash and burn before I got 200 miles down the highway! Or maybe get assaulted and raped before I made it to California that summer!
In the past 4+ years, the forum has made me feel as if I belong to a family that I could call on if I had problems along the way, since there are so many of you all spread across the country. The best part was how sharing everyone was and how nice it was to meet such an independent group who had the answers to so many of my questions in those first years. And it has been even nicer to have met so many of you in person.
And the best part is that my kids and non-RV friends would never even think to look here, so even if this is public, it still gives us a level of privacy from our families. So, I will tell you all that I have another adventure planned for April/May 2018--I am going to go to Malta and London. Why Malta? Because I stopped there on a cruise 8 years ago and never got to see it because I spent the day doing really dumb things with a friend. It's bothered me ever since. So, I have that travel bug again. Just have to figure out how to pay for it now. Shhhh. See you in Mississippi, Martha.
