My honey and I (ages 52 and 50 respectively) are loooong time tent campers who have finally decided to call it quits, just got home from a camping trip to Michigan and we are DONE, no more rickety cots, no more nylon walls between us and the loud folks one site over, no more sitting huddled in the rain staring at the tent wall, no more walking forever to use a gross porta pot!! Onward to a private bathroom, solid walls, and a real bed!!
However, our segue to RV life will be interrupted by a stint in Key West next Spring and Summer, we are putting our house on the market and heading South for a few months R&R. My honey's job is ending an I'm taking a leave of absence to go see if we want to relocate to KW, so we're looking at two scenarios after the house sells:
1. Move to Key West long term, settle in and live the island life while working until we drop (we could never afford to retire there). Buy and RV and head out workamping as long as our health holds out.
2. Enjoy our 3-6 month escape to KW, decide it's not for us long term, come back to IL and work while buying the RV in 2012 and hit the road. Workamp as needed and enjoy life on the road.
Anyhoo, great forum you have here, hope I can contribute in some small way.
