Hi Kathy – When traveling with my parents, longer ago than I care to admit, we found that RVers were the nicest ever, too. Thankfully some things don’t change. Ouch on the repair bills though – that’s something to definitely consider if planning a similar adventure! And yes, we’re living vicariously through John. Pete and I’ve discussed this dream many times. Thanks.

Hi Mike – You do know you’re envied, too, don’t you? And yes, space certainly is at a premium no matter the size of the RV. While in theory living with less is a great idea, it can still be a challenge to fit everything “less” comprises. Can’t wait to read your stories. Maybe we ALL should just get together in an RV caravan and make the dang Alaska trip we all dream of! Thanks.

We’re still learning new RV lessons. Since we have a small motorhome, every bit of storage space is valuable, creative ways of storing things is important, and deciding to leave some seldom or never used items behind can make a big difference. The other evening, nearing the end of our second major road trip, Karen came up with an idea for reorganizing one of our two moderate sized exterior storage bays that will allow us a little more flexibility.

The trip to Alaska by RV is one we plan to make — we just haven’t decided when yet.

We got back home today — day 27 of our May 2009 trip.

I was just saying the other night how I missed our RV (which we sold after moving to Florida) . Oh yeah – NOW I remember….

What I truly miss are the people who make up that nomadic tribe known as RV’ers. They are kind, helpful and in general WONDERFUL people. [Go figure - I actually have something NICE to say... and I did it here on your blog. ]

What I don’t miss – everything else. I remember the time the check engine light came on and I was desperate to find a repair garage where my 39 foot RV could fit inside so I could skip the four figure tow bill and move directly to the four figure repair bill.

We never took a “super trip” like the on John is on – and now I wish we had. I’m sure it will be a life changing experience.

I thank you for sharing it with us through his emails. Talk about living vicariously!!!

Hi Stacey – And you’re just back from another camping trip! I bet your youthful adventure is worthy of a blog post, no? Thanks.

Ahhh…back in the day I did a road trip from Michigan to Alaska and back. Six+ weeks camping out, on the road, exploring the great outdoors. Thanks for sharing your life lessons and for reminding me of what I learned during my youthful adventure.

Hi Vered – I told Pete last night that there were glimpses of John’s wisdom from time to time in working with him. He heads a non-profit with a very compassionate mission. A trip like this has such an impact; I’d expect a burst of creativity and fresh approach to challenges upon his return. Thank you.

Hi Davina – Thank you for the anniversary wishes. We’ll take them any time. And yes, Pete and I have such a trip on our dream list, too. We just don’t think we could guarantee a return! I can’t wait for John’s next email. Thanks.
