 Cheryl, I can&#39;t speak for Jackie, but for us, it was the freedom.  We had talked about buying a vacation home somewhere.  Greg has wanted an RV for years and always dragged me to the annual RV show.  I kept saying no, because I did not want to be on vacation and still be cooking, cleaning, making the bed, etc.  Well, I realized that if we bought a vacation home, I would be doing those things and with an RV, we were in &quot;our own home&quot; but could take in whatever scenery we wanted.  We were in the mountains, renting a condo about 2 years ago, and I made the comment that it might not be a bad idea to look into it.  We got home on Monday, and Wed. we went to visit several dealers and bought ours.  My only regret is that I put it off for so many years.  We have done quite a bit of travelling in our motorhome in the past 2 years, but my favorite trip was Corpus Christi and Padre Island.  Because of our extreme cold in the winter, ours has to be winterized so won&#39;t came out of storage until Spring, but then we plan to go up to Oregon and drive all the way along the coast, visiting beaches and lighthouses along the way.  Anywhere you want to go in the continuous United States can be your &quot;vacation home&quot;.  I cannot wait until Greg retires and we can do what Jackie and Tony are doing.  There is just something wonderful about rolling down the highway, exploring the countryside, sitting beside the love of my life.  For me the great thing is, when all that water I drink, hits me, Greg doesn&#39;t have to look for a restroom for me - I just get up and go to the back&#33;&#33;&#33;
