started out thinking we would Full Time for two years and find a place to settle down to vacation type travel ;BUT after 18 years we still haven't found that place and can only stay in a campground less than three week and have to move on. we have too many friends in motor homes and they become like an extention of our family. Maybe it is because we have kid in California, Nebraska,Iowa and Ohio with grand-kids in additional states of Washington, Pennslyvania, Illionis, and Florida. We travel coast to coast at least twice a year, we attend at least four rallies a year and went eleven years without missing a FMCA Convention.November 1 we start our second trip from Florida to California for this year via Georgia. For a grandsons granduation for US Army basic training. We will stop and camp in Texas and Arizonia to visit former Full Timers who have had to hang it up because of health. So it is "On the Road Again."

Be aware that the residence requirements have all changed as of January 2009. As an example, Florida requires a utility bill with your address on it or some other mail (not bulk) proof of your current residency in order to apply or renew your license. We have had a Florida license since 1991 with our mail forwarding address; we also voted from this address. But when we renewed this August 2009 we were required to have a photo ID, proof of citizenship (birth certificate or valid passport), former Florida license, and a utility bill in our name. We saw several persons refused licenses because of no utility bill. Some of our friends who had registered in Oregon for 20 years had the same problem.
