It's not my business but?????

Postby asirimarco » Thu Jan 05, 2012 3:30 pm

After reading Loris reflections and the comments I got to wondering about the age swing of the people on this forum. I know it's not my business but I'm wondering - are we the oldest at Bill 75 and me 73? It makes a difference how you view your traveling years.

2 1/2 months away from 73. Age is a mind thing, yrs. are climbing and I don't mind :D I try to keep a positive attitude and as long as I can, I plan to see all I can anywhere and everywhere. I pray I will have the good sense to know when I should not drive anymore. I don't feel old, so therefore, I am not too old to do what I really want to do yet.

So no you all are not in that age bracket all alone. Enjoy yourselves and keep the great pix of your trips coming !!!

Whew! I was a little depressed the other day thinking of my age and how long I'm gonna be able to do it....seriously, for once I'm not joking....but at a little over a month shy of 63 you guys gave me hope that I'm gonna be doing this for a long time yet! Thanks!

As I have written...I am eagerly waiting till April and I am eligible for the magic National Pass for turning 62.... Those COE and National Parks are looking better and better......or is that cheaper and cheaper......

Regardless of age....we only have today and today's health to travel with... the future is fine for plans but we won't know for sure until we get there.

Hopefully we can all keep inspiring one another for many more miles........

Steve is 59 and I will be 59 in March. I am thrilled to see so many a few years older that are still so young at heart!

I'm one of the kids at 59. And waiting, waiting to be able to get the parks passes - and planning to be doing this a LONG time to come. Hopefully without too much of the working part. BTW, there were workampers with me in their mid-70's. I know one couple he was 75 because it came up in conversation. Another couple I know there is in 72 or so - I'm hoping I won't be doing that 10 years from now. But ... as already posted ... as long as I have my health to do this, age is irrelevant ... and if I need to work like that to do it, I will!

I beat you Beth but not the other Vickie. I'm 56, soon 57, and just getting started. Was worried I wouldn't have enough time to go and see all the places I want to see. Glad to know that as long as I have my health I can keep on rolling down the highway. Thanks to all you gals who have come before me to give me the encouragment to try this life. I'm loving it.

We've been at this full timing since Aug. 2004.....Ernie was 54 and I was 51......He's applying for his SS tomorrow cause it will be the 90 days before he turns 62 (April 6) and I'll be 59 April 14....There's a couple here (some of you have met George & Claire) he turned 84 yesterday and she's 81....they've been rving for over 25 yrs....and still going strong....we see ourselves (with God's blessing) like them doing this in our 80s.....age is a state of mind....In my head, I'm still 35 :lol: As for Ernie, some days hes sounds like he's older than dirt.....other days, he just a "dirty old man" :roll: :lol: :lol:
