RV Sabbatical
Over two years ago, Casey and I embarked upon a Recreational Vehicle (RV) based adventure. Having read books such as "The New Retirement", we are aware that the definition and reality of retirement has changed significantly. The new retirement can encompass a mixture of Travel, Volunteerism, Paid Work, and Leisure. We began our retirement on a journey called our "RV Sabbatical". This travel blog covers our expedition exploring this great nation of ours and absorbing all it has to offer.
