I would like the option of both, depending on where I go. I was sad to see large "No Overnight Parking" signs at the WalMart in San Diego, as well as the Rest Area near Oceanside. It seems that city ordinances will increasingly limit our options. Camping World in Roseville and Rocklin...

Thank you!  With my two youngest sons in San Diego, it would be nice to have a place to stay for a little while near enough to visit. The one near the border looks pretty close.

I also agree with HDR. Trade for a cargo trailer if you can. It's lighter, has more interior space overall, and is already designed to be towed.

Woo hooo!!!! Congratulations! No advice on the "mom" issue, because I tend to be a little hard-assed when it comes to emotionally manipulative people, and a little a$$-chapped when parents expect their kids to take care of them, but you'll figure it out. Sending you wishes of strength...

Silly question: Does the LTVA pass only apply to one LTVA campground for the 7 month period, or can you move between sites as the urge to see new surroundings strikes? If mobile, does it apply from state to state, or just sites within a state? Either way, you can bet I bookmarked that link!!

I've only attempted herbs, but they're doing quite well on the dash. I thought about trying an Aerogarden again, with small tomatoes and bell peppers, but not sure I where I'd put it when I downsize.

Planning stages are exciting! Do tell! (And yes, welcome!)

I will share, although I'm afraid that others who have read my previous entries will be bored to tears hearing it again. In July 2012 I lost my good-paying job, which resulted in losing my house. I came across Bob's book, and everything he said resonated with me, so I started to make plans...

First: I haven't read the article because my dial-up won't load linked items, but I have read the posts and I agree with Nicole... we might be feeling a little judgmental because a) they are outside of our "clan, and b) they are "wasting money" while we're practicing frugality, and it's...

How exciting! I love everything about this post!! Congratulations on the start of an amazing new life together.

Thanks for always thinking of us, Cyndi. I'll be SO happy when I live in back in the world of internet access so I can follow the links people post. Have a great day!

Right?!

Haha, no, I mean the buttons that make of the rattle part of the snake. :D

It's 6:45pm, and I've been ready for bed since 5pm. A very long day of scrubbing vault toilets in the heat, but with 9 finished, and only the 4 easiest left for tomorrow, I feel relatively accomplished. I saw my first two (unless the first one crossed the same road more than once!) live...

I have the same problem with my dog. Even though I have a larger rig, and am parked in quite a bit of shade, if I have to make the trip into the big town an hour away, do laundry, go shopping, etc, I hate to leave her here alone for that long 3-5 hours, and finding shady parking in town (where...

You didn't say how old they are, but in my experience, the more activities you try to pack into a vacation, the less anyone enjoys it. If they're school-age, they may be burned out from the school year and need some time to do nothing for a while. I didn't have a lot of money when my kids...

I was sad to see some great new friends leave today. The couple from Ventura County (accompanied by Gracie the Great Dane) and I had many good conversations over the weekend, and they stopped on their way out and thanked me for a wonderful vacation. "We'll be back soon. The campground is even...

Thank you, Bob! I don't know yet where I'll be hosting next year, but if it turns out that you're in the neighborhood, and you're inclined, bring the whole gang and you can be Host for a day. :)

I love witnessing your progress! It's such a nice, clean, professional looking job. Can't wait for the next update!

You're both getting about double my 7 mpg! That's awesome!
