well, just about anywhere except NYC would cost about a third as much as California. I visited LA a few years ago for the first time (ok, I was dragged) and found it so amazing that we've been back quite a few times when we could get away. Truly the friendliest people in the world down thar!
Joni and I just received delivery of our very first RV today, and I'm typing from our very first night in an RV park. I know that the first day, week, month.....can be a learning experience, but based on today I don't see us making it out of California for a little while yet.
More on that later, but I am.....what's the word....oh yes: TIRED!
