I will plan the logistics so we don't do that too much. for example in our area, MA, from Sept thru May you can get a place near the ocean for 900/month with everything included except food. That's 8 months of 12. The next 4 maybe someplace away from cities and tourist area's - we shall see.

Great! Sounds like an excellent plan...

Are you going to hire someone to help you load/unload the trailer each time you move? As someone who has moved a lot, I'm recalling how tough the move part was each time. Perhaps you are really scaling down your household items that you plan to move each time?

Truly the experience of our lifetimes to date.

I'd be interested in these recommendations - start a thread or add here or arrange to email - your choice.

Kindest regards.

Love the motto...
