Some good points by brother Byron,

"It also cost to fly/stay in a hotel/rent a car."

Not to mention you don't have to worry about bed bugs, using someone else's toilet, sleeping in some one else's bed and eating 'commercial' food. As we age, proper food becomes important, and our GMC allows us to eat what is good for us when we travel.

"For sure, I'm not taking anything with me when I exit this world."

But I would like to leave some of what has been left to me for my kids, perhaps a matter of philosophy worthy of further consideration. I have been accused of being a 'tight wad'. It's hard to walk between being a consumer or investor.
Also, having logged over 1.5 million miles in the cab of an eighteen wheeler, we've discovered the aint no place to go nor no body to be. : )

Warmly, ...Howard

Not quoting anyone here other than making a comment based on the subject of
the email/post.

In 2008, the first full summer of owning our GMC, we took off for the Outer
Banks from Louisville. Gas prices were over $4 per US gallon. We noticed how
few RVs were on the road. We noticed how many houses/rental units were
vacant on the OB in July. We also noticed the nice KOA on the beach had 40%
occupancy. Personally, I enjoyed the lack of people. It made up for the
price of gas.

This summer we're planning to get to a beach again. Fuel will be over $4
unless things in Libya, Egypt and rest of the oil-rich world settle down. I
doubt that they well.

So, we'll head out for the "open" roads because we have chosen to enjoy
traveling in a motorhome. Sure it costs. It also cost to fly/stay in a
hotel/rent a car. At what point will we park? That is an unknown. Probably
we'll reconsider things at $5.

Fuel is still cheaper than bottled water. I don't get far on bottled water.
It all depends on where you place your values.

For sure, I'm not taking anything with me when I exit this world.
