Hello everybody and HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hope the new year brings health and happiness your way.Well, today is "my new beginning" for me since it is the new year already, but it is also 20220101, my last day as a member of the US ARMY RESERVE.It has been a long way getting here, originally joined the Army back in Puerto Rico in 1982, 9 years on active duty, 16 years out of the service and then joined the Reserve in 2007. Retired from a city job two years ago today and retiring from the military today too.Also, bought my first motorhome ever two years ago, not knowing anything about it at all, but enjoying every minute that I have spend working and messing around with it. Have been doing a whole bunch of little things to it, just because I have been locked up in my house for the last two years, lol. I do need to replace the tires but it will be done within the next few days. Air bags need to be replaced also but I have not ordered them yet, will try to order and replace them within the next few weeks.My daughter will be here from Poland by the middle of February (she is a member of the WA National Guard) and one of my brothers will be here from Puerto Rico on the 2nd of March.Soooo, I will like to go on a long trip and do some sight seeing and exploring all over as much as possible. Thinking Alaska maybe to start, being that this is provably the closest I will ever be to it before I start heading the other way, I'm in Tacoma, WA. And NO, nothing is for sure here yet, everything is subject to change, just trying to come up with a plan.Will love to hear your thoughts and being that I am no expert here, any advice or suggestions will be immensely appreciated.

Howdy All, The better half and I are looking down the barrel of retirement in the next year or two. We are looking at the Waco, TX area as a possibility. We are currently in Northern VA and are tired of the cold and paying taxes on everything. So I hope some of you out there may have some close to first hand info on the Waco, TX area. I know it's not too far from Ft Hood. Can any one tell me or recommend any of the small surrounding communities. We want to look at getting a small house with enough room for the RV and use it for our base when we hit the road semi-full time. Also can anyone tell me if there are any oriental markets in or around Waco.
