We’re two retired Boomers traveling fulltime in our 27 foot, class C, Lazy Daze motor home. Ann is a retired ER/Critical Care RN. Jerry is partially retired but still trades stock options via the internet connection. After years of caring for Ann’s parents we sold our home, furniture, etc. in Northern California in 2010. Ann’s parents are gone now but we know they would be happy that we are traveling. Ordered our Lazy Daze from the factory and picked it up in August 2010, loaded our “stuff” on board and took off on our travels. Our goal is see as many interesting places in North America as we can while we are still reasonably healthy. We learn a lot about the places we visit. Mostly, travel teaches what is important to us in this last part of our lives. This blog explains how we live and travel fulltime in a “small” RV, about the places we visit, the things we do and what we see while we travel.
We personalized our motor home to meet our needs such as adding solar, adding a more accurate tank level read-out system, adding a pantry and adding “small item” storage in the bathroom. We like the new technology that is available to travelers these days that make keeping in touch and finding the way to places much easier and fairly dependable. Our motor home is considered small for fulltiming. After subtracting the cab and engine compartment from our 27′ footprint we have about 19′ of actual “living” space. Good thing we like each other a lot!

Hello again, we meet on the road walking today and stopped to talk. In case you had trouble remembering our names and blog for our Europe travels, the site address is garydelys travels.blogspot.com
Gary and I look forward to hiking with you this Thursday. Happy travels
Delys
Oh, I’m so glad you got in touch with us! We did have trouble finding your blog. Now we’ve got it. See you Thursday for the hike.
Andy and I have been enjoying your blog..keep it up! Learned a lot from
you also..thanks. Epi-rv@blogspot.com
Hello Andy and Preston, Thanks for the kind words. We’ve had a good time but “RV freinds” are lovely but so fleeting. Too bad we only were neighbors for a couple of days. Happy Travels and Be Well, Ann and Jerry
Hi Ann and Jerry: Barbra and I have made the drive from Sacramento to Alaska (or visa versa) a total of five times now. Never as early as you’ve set out, though, so we’ll be following to see some photos and read about what it’s like. If you find yourselves in Seward this summer, come by and say “Hello.” We’ve spent our past three summers living in our Lance 845 camper which sits atop our Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton. We tow our C-Dory Angler. The Kenai Peninsula is incredible. So is the drive down to Valdez. Have a great journey! Jack & Barbra
Love your blog. Recently switched to WordPress and was discouraged until I saw YOUR blog and how nice it looks. Sounds and looks as if you are both having a grand time. I’ll be following your adventures.
Thank you Jane. Be well, Ann and Jerry
Ann & Jerry, it was great to discover you at Big Bear RV park in Palmer when you stopped in to get propane. I love your blog too. Have you driven the Alaska Hwy between Cantwell & Paxson? A boondocker haven. Road makes you drive slow too. Will follow your blog. Keep in touch! Thanks! What an inspiration!
Hello Melinda!!! We are looking forward to seeing you on the road soon. The highway from Cantwell to Paxson is one we haven’t driven. This is what we find to be the hardest part of travel…we regret we can not go down two roads at the same time. Something has to give and that is regretable. Or is it? Looking at it with the glass half-full mentality, it is just one more good reason to come back to Alaska. We wish you only wonderful, safe travels. Be well, Ann and Jerry
Thanks for the blog. You are inspiring. I just stated being a full-timer about a week ago. I just bought a 1990 Coachmen 31.5 ft class A. Just myself at this point, but looking for a companion.
I would like to know what you do for internet access. I have been trading stocks and options, myself, for a few years, now.
I live (lived) in upstate New York, but I’m heading towards the grand-kids in Portland, OR.
I dance and teach Ballroom, Swing and Salsa Dance and expect to give workshops along the way.
Thanks for the advice about getting internet. Have a nice trip, it sounds like you’re enjoying the ride.
Hello James, Funny you should ask about our internet connection after a frustrating time with internet in Stewart BC/Hyder, Alaska. We use a Verizon (3 gig either 3 or 4G) Mi-fi and Millicom (10 of 4G and 10 gigs of 3G) Mi-fi which is actually a Verizon connection. We rarely have trouble connecting.
When in Canada we use the library, McDonalds, etc. Whatever works. Yes, we know they are shared networks but we still use them. Our Mi-fi connections are too expensive to use in Canada.
Be well and safe travels, Ann and Jerry.
Hi Ann and Jerry -
I’m the one from Albuquerque who bought a ’99 RB in LA and drove back to MN. Very happy with the new rig – I spent about 3 weeks of Oct on the road and enjoyed every minute of it. Let me know if you ever decide to visit us up here in MN, you can start at my place and work your way North. Enjoy your blog and also thanks for the tips. Todd (Twin Cities MN)
Hello Todd,
We enjoyed meeting you in October. Glad your travels went well and you are enjoying you new rig. Be well and safe travels, Ann and Jerry
