We're opting for the next size (22 ft). Funny you should mention the NP program, that's been the foundation for it all. This trip, we met a couple who are not greeters but Caretakers of an old ranch with a giant rock full of over 1000 petroglyphs. They open to the public 3 days/week and the rest of the time, it is their playground. Another woman we met ran the shop at an old Fort, she followed the sun around the US by taking on one NP job after another. They all get free RV hookup and can decide which gig works best for their lives...these are lives uncomplicated by dependents (like having two very old frail parents) but a girl can dream. <br /><br />Everything was so much easier than I thought it would be (operationally) and you should have seen my sad face when I returned home.

Which means I would have to buy grown-up clothes,keep my chin hairs trimmed, and hire someone to exercise the Dogs and possibly Himself. I would have to go on TV, which means I would have to lose 20 more pounds and trim the hairs on my upper lip, too. I'd get so cranky I would never be able to see the humor in anything, so I would not be able to write a sequel and then, when people heard my name, they would say, "didn't she used to be a writer?" <br /><br />As you can see, I've got it all well thought out and making you laugh sporadically is good enough for me!
