As we approach the opening of the Early Bird RV Show<\/a> (24.5 hours to go!) I am struck by the number of people who don’t get my lifestyle.<\/p>\n

-I’ve been asked if I would be staying ‘in the RV’ for the week;
\n-the radio announcer interviewing me this morning said that he liked how I called the RV my home;
\n-the reporter for the Vancouver Sun said that she likes how I call my RV ‘my rig’;
\n-this morning I went to the Tradex admin office to get details on my move to a site with power and was greeted by someone who was very concerned and holding a printed copy of Donna’s post announcing my departure from Osoyoos, worried that she had announced to the world that I’d left my house empty for the weekend<\/p>\n

I feel like the keeper of the greatest secret in the universe! I think that if more people with wanderlust or a desire to be more mobile (example snowbirds who own a home in a warmer clime or mobile workers) understood that an RV can be a very comfortable and luxurious home on wheels, our nation’s highways would be choked with innumerable rigs!<\/p>\n

Today is my last down day for a bit. I need to hit the road early tomorrow to get to Burnaby for my 8:20 interview with Global morning news, then race back to get set up up for the show. My talk ‘Travels With Miranda: Two Years of Full-Time RVing Pre-Retirement’ will premiere at 3PM tomorrow and I will be doing it all over again at 7. Then twice a day again Friday and Saturday, and once Sunday. I will be on site all day, every day. This is the moment I’ve been working for for two and a half years and I plan to savour every moment of it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
