Fay came.... Fay went....
Made me wonder how fulltime RVers manage when a storm/hurricane lurks in the distance. How far do you go away from it? When do you decide to leave? How strong does the storm have to be for people to leave?
We live in Key Largo so we were putting patio chairs away, tying down outdoor furniture, putting our downstairs refrigerators up on blocks, parked the cars on higher ground, and stocked up on the basic essentials.... water, batteries, can food, extra ice, BEER/WINE (for the hurricane party).... LoL!!!
Although it was no more than a windy Summer storm, it gave us an opportunity to have a practice drill and thankfully that's all it was. We did get some flooding from our canal but nothing like when Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Wilma came around in 2005.
Moral of the story: When fulltime rving, stay away from the Florida Keys during Hurricane season. And if I am anywhere near it, just leave at the first sign of one brewing near our coast.
In the meantime......
Happy Travels!

My first blog comment.... WOOHOO!!!!
While I'm sitting here doing my daily "research" and "education" on home/rv based businesses, I received my very 1st comment on my blog. I was soooooo excited that I jumped up and down. There's someone out there who actually took the time to read my thought and my goals. Thank you so much Joe and Sherri for being my first "comment writers". I'll never forget you!!!

We're on track... I think?!?!?
We decided to sell our Miami home (that was too much overhead for us plus two kids have moved out, so we don't need all that room). We're back in the Keys and loving it. I hope to keep this house for a long time because I really enjoy this life.
We're still working at our mortgage company (Equity Options Corp.) and I have activated my Real Estate license through Realty Options. Even in a slow market, the Florida Keys is still a very popular place and the prices have leveled out somewhat, making it very attractive to those who "missed the boat" several years ago before the prices sky-rocketed.
On the RVing news side, we created a "Skills Worksheet" to see what are the things we know how to do and/or licensed/certified in, so that we can develop an "income/business goal". We know that we need to "create" a home-based business, that is successful, in order to be able to hit the road eventually.
Peace!
