1,000 DAYS ON THE ROAD AND COUNTING

1,000 DAYS ON THE ROAD AND COUNTING 

8 June 2015

Who would have guessed that Hiromi and I could live in a 31' RV for 1,000 days and both of us still be alive and in one piece. The only thing I know for sure that it was a fun & wild ride and we enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.

It all started on 11 September 2012. We just sold everything we owned keeping the bare essentials needed for our life-in-RV. We moved out of our apartment and into our new home on the road. There has been too much to write about everything we have seen and done (read this blog), but I'll try and hit the key points of our adventures so far. We have drove 57,611 total miles. 18,955 have been by RV while 38,656 was by car. We've been to 39 US States and 2 Canadian Provinces. We have seen eight State Capitol Buildings and visited 87 National Parks. I have seen a total of 108 Major League, Minor League and College baseball games. Together we have had countless hours of unforgettable memories that will last us a lifetime. 

Like most people we have added unwanted weight to our RV with gifts, hobby collections, new clothes and shoes that have taking up all of our free space. Now we have to clean it up and get back to just the essentials. It's starting to look like it's time to stop and visit my parents so I can put some of this stuff in their attic ... I hope you don't mind mom? 

Any given day, we could wake up in a different state and find that hidden gem that's not in any tourist book or do some actives that we always dreamed of doing. There is no dream too big for us and we've only just scratched the surface of what's to come. The most rewarding experience from living on the road is the people we meet along the way. Some have become very close friends and if not this journey we would have never met them. Looking forward, returning back to "normal" life in not in our future anytime soon. Only time will tell what we'll experience in our next 1,000 days.

How many days have you been on the road? Share your story.
