Thank you! We would love to run into you someday. Safe travels and have an amazing summer filled with epic adventures. 😊

We felt the same way before we started this adventure. Hopefully you'll be able to experience this way of life someday. Until then enjoy anytime you can get out and enjoy this beautiful country of ours. Take care and thank you so very much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.

Thanks for sharing. I should look into seeing if ours would give us a discount as well if we paid for the year upfront.

We hear you! What will he ever do without his stash of Crown...🤪 You have some great friends!😁😉 Chris can use all the help he can get.🤣 Looking forward to meeting you on the road. Hopefully our paths will cross this summer in Alaska. Safe travels!

@@oureverydaygetaway I'm just here to help a brother out! And get some Crown clutter gone! ;-) I'm usuly on the Kenai peninsula at either a state or federal campground. I only do an RV park if its all that is there. I could easily boondock, I have the better than average solar and lithium battery bank which makes my tanks my limiting factor. But for the most part, because of that working for a living thing, I like to know where I'm parking my glamper after I get off work Friday night. But I will give you tips on a couple campgrounds on the Kenai Peninsula, heading towards Soldotna, Kenai or Homer. The first 3 are in the Cooper Landing area. Quartz Creek, especially if you can get a cancellation on spots 38 & 39. Those two are lake front on Kenai Lake. In my opinion, the nicest spots I've ever camped at. The restaurant where you turn off of the Sterling highway to go to the campground ain't too shabby either. Very local operation there. My next and most regular is Cooper Creek South. If spot 18 is open and I'm not using is... ;-) jump for.that one. It is the only one on the creek, its a bit shaded. But for me, the sound of the running creek, I sleep like a corpse there. There is also a small restaurant and bar next to that campground within walking distance just a stones toss south, try the pulled pork Nachos. The next campground is the Russian River campground. It may be closed for rennovations, they are doing a serious overhaul to the roads and the drainages. But if they are open, its a bigger campground with a lot of loops, most spots are good there. Those 3 can be booked on rec.gov . Those are also dry camping. No hookups. If you head Homer direction, a tip is to not camp in homer, its a busy place at the end of the road. But Anchor Point, just a few miles outside of Homer, take the Old Sterling Highway and head to the water. There are several campgrounds and one RV park with full hookups, bath houses and a view. The first campground if you are dry camping is called Slide Hole. It is a State of Alaska campground, decent size and reasonably clean. It is first come first served. Then right after that on the same side of the road is Kyllonen's RV park. They have partial and full hookups. Its not a big RV park but the people are nice and its not to shabby of a joint either. That's where we stay when we do our epic ATV ride on the beach to Homer. The fun fact about going to either of those is that the road is the Old Sterling Highway and it is the western most highway in North America. Also, if you go to the end of the road, there is a veiwpoint which if the weather is good, there is a pictorial map of the volcanos across Cook Inlet from there. Alaska is a big part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. But from Anchor Point you can drive into Homer, out to the Spit and see all the touristy things, and at the end of the day, you come back to a quiet campsite. They say Homer is a small drinking town with a big fishing problem. If you want to do a fishing charter, I recommend sailing out of Homer rather than Seward. But that is just me. Wow, that got long all the sudden! But I thought while Im trying to pawn a couple bottles of Crown to Chris for the budget, I'd pass along several good places to stop for a night or a week.

Thanks for that! Congratulations on making the decision to go fulltime. Stay safe and enjoy your journey. 😊

Of course like most we struggle to stay on budget but for the most part we're pretty close. Nothing wrong with budgeting for a little alcohol.😁 Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.

Thank you. 😊

Funny you mentioned them. Chris and I just said we'd like trying to staying at a Casino while on this trip. Thanks for the suggestion. 😊

If you referring to Chris's health insurance he worked over 35 years in the Ironworks union out of the Washington DC area. Very happy to hear your a cancer survivor. Prayers that you continue on a road a good health. Safe travels and have an wonderful summer filled with epic adventures! 😃

Yes his health insurance! So fabulous, I figured it was government or up north. Congrats for him beating cancer too and all his year he gave to his employer. I’m like you, self employed while SAHM but ready for a corporate job at 57 😂 Thank you, cancer is always on my mind, since I’m genetically predisposed to it. Glad Chris survived and is living his best life. I found your wonderful channel because I am also looking for a C class motorhome. Love your content and maybe will run into you two on the road one day. Thanks again for your valuable content.

Thank you. I think you'll be fine as long as you don't travel like your on vacation. It's so tempting to stay at all the nice places and eat out all the time. Stay safe and enjoy your travels.

I am in the same boat( going to Alaska); apart of fuel and campsites, where did you see the expenses were going to the roof?

It comes out of entertainment for the most part.

They are included in our campground/resort category.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching. Safe travels and enjoy your journey. 😊

You are so very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Safe travels!😊

Thank you. We have a great interest rate.😁 You guys did really well with your budget considering all the upgrades you made. Take care and safe travels until we see you guys.

Our pleasure! Thank you!

In total about 8 weeks last year. Though we were still living in the rv we didn't have any campground/resort expenses. That's a great way to save money and still enjoy camping. Safe travels guys. 😀

Thanks John!

Sorry. We may have to go down to one meal a day and maybe 4-day meals. 🤣🤣

Thank you! You too!

@@oureverydaygetaway Thank you!

Food is such a budget buster! Yes, this years budget was better but not there yet. We may have to get down to one meal a day!🤪🤣

Thank you! It was a little time consuming putting everything together but happy we know exactly what we spent where. Good luck putting yours together. Yes! Looking forward to seeing you guys out west!!

😁😁

That's a strong negative. 🤪

We use our TT membership about 4 months out of the year. Maybe more this year because of the area we’re going to. State parks about 3 months, private campgrounds 2 months, 1 vacation week at a nice resort and the rest of the time boondocking with family and friends.

Perfect. Love it!

You are too funny!!

Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Hope you and your family had a Happy Easter! Wherever you can find places to cut the budget is a good thing. He's about 3 years out and had a great checkup last week. God is good. ♥

@@oureverydaygetaway Amen to that!

🤣🤣🤣

Darn budget!!

Thanks so much! 😊 Sounds like you are doing really well saving money when you can and also enjoying your travels. Stay safe and enjoy your journey.

That is awesome! Congratulations on being full time for 6+ years. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Safe travels and enjoy your journey. 😊

Your correct! Absolutely non at all!

Fingers crossed you have a wonderful Spring/Summer and have no regrets. That's a great way to use your Passport America membership! We will use HH sparingly this year as we have so much traveling to do. Safe travels Sally.

Good luck with your budget and hiding those things from the misses.😁 For us it's a real struggle. Safe travels and enjoy your journey.

We were a little surprised our first year but now just came to the decision it is what it is and when we can't afford it anymore we'll settle back down. Alcohol does help. 🤣

Nationwide. Thank you so very much for your kind words!

Very true. So thankful we have insurance through Chris's retirement.

Boom! 😁

Glad it was helpful! We're curious to see what the difference is as well. It may change the way we travel next year.

I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it.

I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it.

When we added dinning out and the alcohol it really shot up. Yikes!

Awesome! Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you!

We have plans to use our TT membership often this year while in the northwest. Thinking we may be able to stay on budget this year. We can only hope. Thanks for watching. 😊

You guys are doing a great job keeping your costs down. We can only imagine how much you spent while in Key West. Drinks alone!🤪 Small job at a micro brewery doesn't sound like work at all. That would be something we'd be interested in doing. Keep on keeping on and see you guys this winter. 😊

Your welcome. Yes, everyday. 😊

Our daughter has a Sam's Club membership and loves it. We also need to renew our Costco membership. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Safe travels. 😊

LOL, with the cost of things we may just have to do that.

Get Costco crown royal brand. You will save half price

It's definitely not a let's save money kind of lifestyle for sure. We enjoy traveling and seeing different parts of the country but also enjoy the Gulf Coast. Sounds like you guys made a great decision for your wants and needs. Enjoy your home near the Gulf. 😊

LOL, you caught that.

@@oureverydaygetaway my mother is an accountant, I was taught the timestable before I knew the alphabet😎

So looking forward to doing quite a lot of boondocking this year. Not so much available in the east coast area. Thanks for sharing your travel info.
