And you've chosen a lovely place to be. (It will be hot in the summer, no question. My sister's in laws used to reside in Florida from the first of November until the end of April and then they would live in the western North Carolina mountains from May until October.)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-84877224784265647932012-12-10T21:49:32.297-08:002012-12-10T21:49:32.297-08:00Endings and beginninga are circular really aren...Endings and beginninga are circular really aren't they? I remember your reservations before you left on the big adventure in the motor home, and some of the glitches along the way. I love that on balance you and RV found the magic - and really hope that you find a way to keep the motorhome and the condo. In any event, I really look forward to hearing of your next adventures.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-57140652659758905762012-12-10T19:54:26.779-08:002012-12-10T19:54:26.779-08:00Hi Melissa!

You've shared so much of it with us and it's been quite an adventure. But I am just like you. Although I would love driving around in an RV and seeing the country, I couldn't do that as my way of life. I need a place of my own. A place to stay. I know you and your wonderful husband will enjoy wherever you are and whatever the future brings. Follow your bliss! :) BECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184458949017900541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-1628429892401987862012-12-10T14:55:53.790-08:002012-12-10T14:55:53.790-08:00Thanks, Paul.

You can't always predict how things will work out, but knowing what's best for you and looking forward to the next phase is much better than travelling for another year and not enjoying it so much. It's fantastic you were able to follow your dream thus far :-)Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.com
