31 days in Gulf Shores, Alabama

Posted on December 5, 2015December 5, 2015 by Jim Mellema

Thursday, 12-3-2015, we rolled out of Gulf Shores, Alabama. We’d stayed here for an entire month, which is the longest we’ve sat still since we moved into the bus in July. We had mail and other stuff shipped to us there. We made friends. We established favorite restaurants. It was almost like a home! We…

Plus Seven

Posted on July 31, 2015 by Jim Mellema

Day seven of our full time journey… It’s getting more real, slowly. We’ve been full time Rvers for a week now, but still cleaning up “former life details” in the Chicago area. Yesterday was a big day. We finally closed and sold the house (Yay!) And I sold my jeep. Not sure how I feel…
