Two years ago bought our 1st and present 2005 25 Intl CCD RB when wife at 50 (though still gets carded....seriously) and I at 58. Just turned 60 3 days ago and wondered what took us so long decades ago used to backpacking and tents with the now grown and out kids.

Bought our first Airstream a 65 Overlander when I was 29 and hubby was 33 we restored it enjoyed it then sold it. Missed it like crazy so Just bought our second airstream at 34 and 38. We own our own business and have been pretty fortunate to be able to travel as much as we have.

I was 30, wife was 25 when purchased a '73 Sovereign 31', in 1980. Kept it until a couple years ago when daughter and son-in-law took it over. So its still in the family.

Well, they say 30 is the new 40....40 is the new 50 and so on.
So, 90 must be the new 100.
Yep. I was 90.
