Thanks to you both for your kind comments...
Sometime next year, me and the hubby are going to close up the house, jump into the RV, and just drive until we drop dead...we do plan to return home to our house, from time to time to rest, but we do plan to spend most of our time in the Rv, seeing the USA, and we also plan to visit every microbrewery and brewpub that we can find(we live in the Pacific Northwest, so it may take some time, before we sample all of them in Washington, Oregon and California)...
Beer tasting our way across America, seeing the sights and hearing the sounds and meeting the people in America, and all done at our own speed and in our own leisure time, is what we plan...
My son says, "have a grand time", spend all your money, I want you two to die penniless"...You see, we raised him well enough to provide for himself, and he believes it would be horrible for us to die, with a big bank account to pass along to him...he wants nothing to do with it...
Life is grand...

You are a breath of fresh air on this thread.
You sound like me. That's my plan when our kids are grown. Nothing cheese me more than to hear people complaining about their parents spending "our inheritance". I already told my children we can help them a little when they go to college, but since there are five of them they have the choice of working their way through college and having us take care of ourselves or we can pay for college and then we can move in with them so they can take care of us, since we'll be broke. My children liked the first idea better.
