That time when we sold all our stuff and lived in a tin can...

I am retiring for a second time soon. My wife Judy and I are going to put everything in storage in April 2014 and hit the road for a year in our 1958 Flying Cloud. Congratulations on your decision.
Our first leg is a trip from Central Oregon Coast follow 101 south to hit a Vintage trailer meet in Pismo Beach CA.

Then San Diego. And Colorado. Then head to east coast. Whant to see the henry Ford Museum and the Airstream Factory (Mother Ship). We will winter on the Gulf Coast somewhere. That is as far as we have planned. But then again we my go to Baja CA for the winter.

Good Luck
Dick

Condoluminum - Thanks for your input! I couldn't agree more about the sense of humor being essential. Our first trip alone we forgot many important things and had to improvise in ways that we'll be laughing about for years. Our refrigerator stopped working the second day out, so we just had a bigger BBQ than originally planned and invited friends from other campsites. Finding new ways to do things you take for granted in a home is so much fun.

colld014 - Good luck getting out on the road more! Hopefully we cross paths someday and then you won't be camping alone!

AirKar - We haven't registered, no. I would like to go to a rally, but we're hesitant to make any firm plans to be in a place on a certain date until we've been out on the road a while. We will likely be in Florida for January though, so if we can make it that direction we may see if there are any spots available. As far as questions go, ask away! Send me a PM and we can swap email addresses. Ditto for if you need any help setting up your website. It's what we do for a living, so we'd be happy to offer some advice.

COLONEL - That sounds amazing! Maybe our paths will cross at some point. I've never seen an Airstream older than ours in person and would love to get a look at yours!

OMG I am so glad I found this post LOL... Kay and I are doing the same thing! We have rented out our home and leased out (perhaps sold our business) and will be hitting the road in January after running our hunting preserve one last season. We will be traveling with our 3 English cockers in our 25 ft Excella. Our first stop will be in the warmth of the Florida Keys, no boondocking there, but I need to thaw out for at least a few months on a beach... then when we leave FL we plan on either hanging a Left and into the mts. of New Mexico or up into the mts of Tennessee.
We have for many years worked 60 plus hrs a week operating a 300 acre hunting preserve. While it has been wonderful and we have made 1000's of friends we feel it is our time - our time to not worry about others having the ultimate outdoor experience... If any of you folks on the same quest should need a stop over we have 1 gravel site with 30 amp & water and 2 or 3 dry camping areas that you are welcome to use (even if sold we have retained life time use of all the land)...We are in Western NY between Buffalo & Rochester and just 30 mi from Niagara Falls and Canada... Our Location is very rural with nearest neighbor over half a mile away yet only 3 miles from town...
This post just makes me feel like "I'm not crazy" Good luck to all and I hope we meet along the trail...
All the Best and feel free to keep in touch!
