I always joke to my husband that we should buy an RV and hit the road. I say joke because disney cruises it sounds like an old person s thing to do, but hey, it sounds lovely to me! Take your home away from home with you, I say. What could be better?
I m hesitant about the RV, because you have to have a handyman/mechanic in the family, which I do not have. All that hooking up of electric and water and stuff sounds off-putting to me. Not to mention the soaring cost of gas.
