We had our realtor come by yesterday and she is taking pictures next week and then our house will officially be up for sale. After 33 years of life in Texas we are moving away.
As of now destination is a little unknown. A road trip is planned soon and then decisions will be made.

At last we can start to make retirement plans ( just 2 years late!)

New adventures - the best thing every. Just keep going forward

That sounds wonderful! You can put all the crap of the last couple of years behind you and be free as a bird for a while. I hope you'll have internet on this road trip, we can have a sticky beak follow along

Perfect!


We have a destination of sorts but we are going to make it more interesting by adding in other places we haven't visited before.

I'll post pictures of our travels

Oh yes!

Fabulous news. So pleased for you guys.

Now that would be an interesting adventure! I need to start knitting a long wooly scarf

Thanks mate

Unless you have a definite state in mind to retire in take a look at Tennessee. Decent climate and relatively low cost of living. If you end up anywhere Lynchburg in your travels look us up.

If you make enough from the sale of your house to have cash in reserve for whatever rainy days may be in store, renting (or even buying) an RV and travelling all over would be incredibly cool.

Or there's always going back to the UK

As much as I love the idea of retiring to Wisconsin (snow notwithstanding, but if I'm not working and have enough books I can stay inside for a while in winter), Tennessee is on my list as far as regional climates go to retire to. Though it would be quite funny to go to North Carolina and annoy Pulaski in person ...

At some point we will return to Tennessee. Our road trip a few years back included Tennessee but we didn't have enough time to stop for long. Will definitely let you know when we are that way again.
RV traveling doesn't really appeal to me but we are certainly going to move around more. Our plan is too also spend longer back in the UK as well.

We are just hoping our house sells quickly

Our daughter and son in law put their house on the market just yesterday and the realtor has shown it 5 times today already!!
So we are hopeful.

We did do a road trip to North Carolina and I loved it. We stayed in a place called Maggie's Valley mostly because there is a huge motorcycle museum there but it was a lovely little town. I would love to go back there.I wonder if Pulaski lives near by?

Your house probably will sell quickly. Houses don't tend to stay on the market for long at the moment, at least not round here anyway.

NC does sound and look nice from what I know. It gets a high score right out of the gate for the comparative lack of snow.

My daughter just called. Third day of their house on the market and they have a cash offer of over $30k of the asking price. She is in shock right now
