someday sell our house and buy a sailboat big enough for us to live on full

time, cruising around the world.

Hi Tracie,

We have friends that are doing that now. They bought a boat about 3 yrs ago

and that is where they are living. The last message we had from them they

were in Venezuela. Another couple sold their house and bought a RV. They live

in that full time. I don't think I would enjoy either of these. I like to

travel, but I want a home to come back to.

hugs

I'm like you Eunice, I'd like a real house to come home to. My folks went the

RV route. We call them " geriatric gypsies. " My father is 85 years old, and

was just diagnosed with diabetes last month. His mother apparently had

diabetes, but she died from complications way back in 1937, long before I was

born. And here I thought the diabetes had skipped a generation and settled

on ME.

My parents considered that, but Father crunched some numbers and figured that

with the cost of fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc. that it would cost less to

stay in motels and eat in restaurants.

I agree, it seems cheaper and easier to stay in a hotel. I believe my folks

chose the RV route because they think hotel rooms are dirty and don't like

the idea of sleeping in a bed that someone else has used. That's just their

little quirk. Also, they believe they can regulate and control what they eat

better if they prepare it themselves, particularly now that my father has

diabetes. I'm not real adept at preparing meals in a kitchen area the size

of a postage stamp. It's something I struggle with in the tiny galley of our

boat. I find it easier to eat properly by making careful choices from a

restaurant menu.
