Kathy and Serge Lavoie, aboard their boat Raison de Etre
(Reason For Life). They sail for 6 or 8 months at a time, throughout the North &South Pacific, come back to
the U.S. to work and make money, then head out on the next leg of their journey. Their web site & photos can
be found
at Raison de Etre. |

As you will notice, most of the traveling people fall into
about the same age group as us - late forties, early fifties.
There seems to be no recently retired people. Most people that live this sort of
life style of travel & adventure have been traveling for many years. The line
"when I retire" is a myth. Most people who regularly R.V., travel, and
sail, seem to have started at an
early age, usually in their forties. By the time they do retire, the habit of
R.V.ing and traveling is in their blood. |

See Will's article in one of the issues of the R.V. times, an R.V.ing
magazine out of the Fraser Valley. The moral of this story is: if you have a retirement dream, start now, or it just is not going
to happen. To see the actual article go
to RV Times. |
