Yes, apparently I'm not mentally stable because after turning 68, I recently agreed to sell to a snowbird couple my nice mobile home after 5 years in a nice FL retirement park fairly close to the ocean... in lieu of a "totally crazy and unrealistic plan at your age" to tour the States camping in my Prius, before I get too old to want to do more than sit and watch TV all day.
Who knows, maybe they're right and I am sliding into dementia. OTOH, I've been adventurous all my life, backbacked alone across Europe, Greece, Israel and Egypt in my early 20s AND crisscrossed the States in my car numerous times in my early 40s, so naturally I'm thinking, "What's the problem? At least now I have GPS and a cellphone!"
Not to mention I certainly ain't gettin' any younger, so if not now, then when... in my next life? "Hmmm, I'd better hurry up!" is what I'm thinking, lol.
Even so, despite six weeks of extensive research, planning and preparation, I do sometimes quietly wonder if they might not be right, heh. Fortunately, I have another 6-8 weeks to prepare before the house is no longer mine.
Anyway, all that to say, Hi, I'm new to the forum!
