Thus it Begins

We now have a sales contract for our house, with a closing date of 27 Feb. We need to sell most of our furniture and accumulated items within the next 3 weeks. We will store some items in a 5*15 space for future use. In March we will make all final arrangements, complete several medical appointments and work our final days in our jobs. We hope to be traveling no later than the end of March.

We plan to first head to Lawton Oklahoma to visit our daughter and grandkids, then will likely head to Rockport TX near Corpus Christi for at least one month.

We sold our previous folding Feathercraft Kahuna kayaks,and have purchased new RTM Disco sit on top kayaks that we have not tried yet. Rockport should be a great place to become familiar with the new kayaks.

Dan is still recovering from a torn rotator cuff, so we will see if he is healed enough to kayak extensively. If so, we may slowly work our way along the coastline to the Florida Keys. If not, we may head to South Dakota, and then on to the Pacific Northwest.

Our overall plan is to NOT be in cold country in winter.

  2. You are going to love this full timin' life. Dan, so sorry to hear about your rotator cuff. Since I ruptured my achilles tendon and broke my ankle in September, I can really relate to taking things slow. Keep posting in your blog so I can follow your travels and we can meet up somewhere on the road - NOT where it's cold.

  4. Dan,
    I wanted to thank you again for the help and the call a few weeks ago. I am really going to enjoy checking in on you to see how full timing is doing. Have a few more years to work and 2 kids in college soon so I can watch your travels and dream. Good LucK
