It all began when a little dog entered our lives. Harley -- our beloved miniature Australian Shepherd. We'd had no intention of getting a dog until we retired, but there he was one day ready to come home with us. That was in June of 2010 and as it turns out... we retired a year later. By then, our dream of dramatically downsizing and indefinitely land-cruising in a motorhome had taken root. We knew Harley would be in doggie heaven with full-time "parents" and endless and ever-changing new territory to explore.
First came retirement (for Debbie) after more than 30 years in corporate America... it was time! Going from the 24/7 grind of a demanding job, to the utter freedom of retirement was truly a dream come true. After the big day came (July 29, 2011) we spent a glorious final 6 months in our dream home (where we'd lived for the last 11 years). But we had decided to pull up our roots, sell the house and indefinitely explore America. So we listed the house in March 2012 and it sold quickly. In April, it was goodbye dream home... hello adventure!
After a long search for the perfect motorhome, we found just the right one in Tampa, Florida at the gi-normous RV sales & service place called "Lazy Days". We bought our 2011 Allegro Bus on August 10, 2011. We stored it for the winter but then moved in to it full-time right before our home went on the market. And then the adventure began.
