Our First year of early retirement with our new cali beach

[George Smith]

Hi
I am George
My wife Arlene and I decided to retire at the start of 2018.
We had dreams of owning a VW campervan and after hiring a conversation in September 2017 for a few days we decided that the California Beach was the one for us.
We got the van in May and after a practice down in Southwold for 3 days toured The North of Scotland for three weeks. The weather was great and the scenery fantastic.
We also had 3 weeks in Europe stopping in the campsite in Ypres before heading down through France into Switzerland and Austria.
We are looking forward to next year for some more adventures

Aaaaah..... The beach in Switzerland. I did that. It was awesome. I'm upgrading to the ocean now. But I feel almost sad. My yellow beach stated everything that was great about life. Fun. Freedom. I will miss it sorely. Enjoy
