RV life has always struck a romantic chord in me — life alone in an ever-changing world, greeting a new morning from a new place. Those thoughts have fueled many fantasies of life on the road in an RV, on a motorcycle, or walking with a backpack. Despite all that, I’m certain I would still feel sadness for myriad reasons. But I do see how your approach would eliminate some of those!

Be safe on your continuing adventures!

I have a secret weapon against that: For a while now I have been living in a RV, my valiant Vespa GTS 300 mounted on it’s carrier always with me. And since I change places every couple of days and then venture out on the Vespa once installed, the way home is always new and different. And much less sad….

It’s an amazing experience. Had I only known years earlier. Both the Vespa and motorcycle stand quietly in the garage for a period of time I can’t predict. So far it’s ok but I know the day will come that I want to ride and can’t.

Until then, Kim and I are staying safe. Hope you and your family are doing the same.

Glad I could light a candle in these dim days. Hope you are staying safe and sane.
