SMITTEN – in the beginning will tell you how we got to this point. Please read if you are interested in just how did this idea come about.
I have purchased a poster sized Loop map for our family room wall. It looks great! Makes me yearn to get ready and hit the road!
We tease each other about living so close in a boat!! That is why we should have a “fly bridge” so that we can put some vertical space between us!! How funny we are both excited about this, right?! Beats sitting around in retirement and doing nothing. This idea is actually the first time Wayne has been excited about retirement. 2 years. Keep the house – rent it out? Sell the house – use the money.
Either way we will have to find a place to store some of our stuff. There will be stuff we don’t want to get rid of because of sentimental reasons. Because we don’t know how long we really will be boating. Because … we just don’t throw away stuff willy-nilly. Giving a bunch to GoodWill or selling it will be ok. Still…. a big transition. Me? I think I am in that sell the house camp. But, don’t know if that will be feasible depending on the economy, etc.
just what kind of stuff would we want to store anyway? Books? furniture? papers? photos? tools? nicknacks?
