My husband and I "retired" a couple of years ago, but the economy changed our plans, unfortunately. We're young to be retired, and so we we're just happy for the time we took off. Now he's back at work, but on a contract job. His contract may end in October. If it does, we'll take a long RV trip back to the East Coast. And if not, well, that'll be good news too. It's nice to be in a position where both outcomes are good. Have a great time on your trip. You will love every minute. I hope you keep a blog so we can follow your travels.
