The 2005 Travels of Richard n Shirley

We are fulltime RV's. This means we have no other home but our motor home. We joined the Escapees RV Club and use their mail forwarding service and forum. In addition to Escapees forum, you can find us on rv.net and lrv2.com. We are Richard n Shirley on all of them. We access the internet with a Direcway satellite dish mounted on a tripod. We do set up the dish at every place we stop for the night or more. We are #2321 on datastormusers.com. Click us and you will find our current location.

This is Monday morning and all's well. We got our chore done Saturday morning, tanks emptied, and todays chore, the extension. This extension will go to the morning of 12/6. Our VA hospital appointment is 12/2. I paid for eleven days which is to the morning of 12/3. Are you confused?
We will dump tanks on Wednesday, 11/23 and again six days later on 11/29 and on 12/3 if we move or 12/4 if we dont move.Where should we move to?

My brother is coming to be with his wifes family for Thanksgiving. My dad is in a assisted living center in Hobbs, NM. Our plans have been to go see dad after we get thru with the VA appointment. If we do that, its on to AZ. If we go south from the VA, then I'l not see my dad till next March when we should go to NM. Its our plans to go west next spring. Where should we move to?

It will all depend on the price of gas in December and March. If it will go down more or at least not rise above the current level of $2.14 then we will go west. Our budget is for two fillups in a month at 7 mpg at $2.50 maximum dollars for a 1000 miles per month. The more we spend on gas the less we have for travel mileage and paid camping. This gets us into finding free spots to stay. And my DW does like full hookups. It would be nice to see gas go down to pre-hurricane levels again.

Lets hope for jobs so we can repay our bank account. This first year is expensive.

You're living a life my wife and I have discussed might be for us once I retire.

I'll be back to follow your journey, you never know, we might just do this one day!
