After one week and we are still in love

June 20, 2011
We are going through the getting acquainted phase of our relationship with our Coachmen Catalina. Like all relationships. We expected a certain amount of adjustment would be necessary,
At first every issue is like a national disaster. Feelings of why did we buy this, or you start thinking it really wasn’t such a great deal after all pop instantly into your mind. Then you realize it’s all good that this is just the preview of what is to come as you log a few more miles with each trip.
This first week has been the proverbial wind-whirl tour of friends and family. The wedding is done and we have seen most family members. We still have a few friends to see, but for the most part we can start our daily activities as if we are on the road full-time.
Aside from the chores I have put on a list, we have this time to develop our plan for working and earning money while on the road. As we have shared on previous writings, when we walk away from mainstream living, we will not have a pension, social security or any other source of income. So other than what we will have in savings, we will need to create a means of generating an income.
While we are here in Michigan, we are tossing around several ideas that could provide financial support. We will be expanding our web site and updating our travel pages. We are currently using our smart Phone with 3G hotspot to connect with the web. This is great so long as we are just browsing or uploading to our blog. We have used nearly .210 GB in the 30-45 minutes we have been on the web this week.
