Before we decided to hit the road full time, I spent a lot of time online reading blogs and RV forums. I learned from others this way. Although you can learn online, there’s no better teacher than experience.

I decided to create a blog of my own. My initial goal was to enable family and friends to know where we are and what we’re up to. I also wanted to let others have a taste of this nomadic lifestyle. I always said I would be honest and share our experiences, good or bad. I’m hoping someone learns from the mistakes we’ve made. Overall, we have no regrets. We haven’t wished to be back in a sticks-and-bricks residence.

I’m gratified by the growth of this blog. Last week we surpassed 30,000 visits to the site. There are more people checking in on us than I ever imagined. I’ve expanded the content with the addition of the Resources page. I’d like to spruce my page up, so I’m looking into online blog tutorials (I need all the help I can get).

Being in the same area for months at a time isn’t as exciting as roaming around the country, exploring new places. We’ve made many great memories, though, while we we’re here in Mesa and when we stayed in San Diego. We have some plans for the summer months and also plan to head back to San Diego next fall.

I’m hoping Donna’s new wheel set for her bike comes in today. She has a week of final preparation for El Tour de Mesa on April 5th. A week from next Monday, we’ll light the fires and kick the tires. It’s time to start roaming the country again!

Note from Donna: I was interviewed awhile back about how we decided to hit the road as full-time RVers and how we sold all of our stuff. The video just went live yesterday on YouTube. I thought you might be interested!
