4. New plan for the RV

Hello all. So I have been thinking about this. I realized this is kind of an opportunity for me.
What I could do is change my entertainment and how I get information. Being in the boomer generation I remember a time when you read everything especially if you didn't have access to TV. So what I think I am going to do is make a list of things I want to learn, items I am interested in then get books on them and just leave the electronics at home. I may record some music so I can play it while I am driving. Other than that a stand alone GPS, a dumb flip phone and books.( Sorry I posted on a computer forum that I am essentially giving up the computer ! but the info that you cant go dark with a computer kind of left no choice ) just for the record I have been married 20 years and have had plans for doing traveling especially when I retired. one day I was talking to my wife and she said she doesn't want to do any traveling at least not like that, she is a hotel kind of person. I think she said something like she would rather shoot herself in the leg! Ha ha. Anyways later I asked her if she would mind if I went by myself. she said she was fine with that. So my plan is to do 2 months a year and divide the US into thirds and a fourth year from Canada east to west. I may do Canada in three months. If I time it right I could be in DC during the next election !
