True, true, true! We have a friend who is dying of cancer at 68 – it sounded old when I was twenty but now that I’m 60! It’s just around the corner. He has had a pretty full life but I’m sure there are a few more things he’d like to try.

How true! We are so blessed with the confidence to “make it happen!” I’ll always remember meeting the sweetest man in 1996 as he admitted his wife to the nursing home in which I worked. He’d just retired and they’d planned to see the world. She had a stroke and never recovered. He never did, either. That made a HUGE impression on me. We started working cruise ships just a couple years later. We worked them because we couldn’t afford to be passengers, but we still got many of the perks. And now we’re loving the RV life! Still working, and still getting the perks!

I agree completely Nick. I’ve always had a dream of someday going to Alaska. Yesterday, after 23 days on the road and some equipment failure, that dream came true when we crossed the border from the Yukon into Alaska where we’ll spend the summer at Moose Pass on the Kenai. What an awesome trip. You can read all about it at http://www.AdventuresWithDharma.blogspot.com.

Well said Nick. 15 years ago, co-workers of Sandy tried to talk her out of the idea that we could go full-time. Today, we have 15 years of wonderful memories and more on the way. See you at the Escapade! Gene
