Thank you for accepting us onto the forum smile

My Husband John (61) and I (44) had our light bulb moment about 6 weeks ago.  We are in our massive house, no kids and sick of the reoccurring Ground Hog Day of life with a mortgage and Monday to Friday jobs.  We are still head over hills in love and each other's Best Friend and want to live life together, not sleepwalk through it.  Sooooooo the big decision has been made!!!  Sell the house, by the right rig and caravan and head off with our furkids!!!

A lot of research at the moment, the Grey Nomads pages, FB, etc. has been invaluable and we thank you.  It was all the information that made us realise this dream can be a reality.  We hope to begin the start of our never ending Lap early next year.

Cheers

Riley & John

Welcome to the gang Riley and John, enjoy here and out in the playground.

Sounds like a good plan you have there. I made the big life change after loosing the love of my life with no regrets and I tell you that for free.

 

 

Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Also a very warm welcome from me, Riley and John

I can give no advice about selling a home, as I still have mine

I can only wish that you have as much enjoyment as I do, when I am travelling

G'day John and Riley and welcome to the forum.  Don't forget to try the two ongoing games here - 'Who is This' in the 'I Digress' section and 'Pick this Place' in the 'General' Section - a great source to find new places to visit.

Pete and Marion
