Looking for someone specialEdHello, I'm a 60 year old male who sadly lost my wife of thirty nine years six months ago, to long term illness. She and I kept an RV on a nearby military base for years but due to her medical problems could not travel either long distance or term as we desired. I retired three years ago early from DOD to spend as much time as possible with her and savor every moment she was capable of providing. I'm average in looks, 5'11 in height, weigh in at 210 lbs, have a great sense of humor and most of all enjoy one on one time with someone speical. I am looking forward once again towards providing great company in return of the same (great company which is the best part of traveling/staying home, dining either in/out and all that life/love has to offer a man and a woman). If you wish to talk about sharing time/trip/ect. (in small driver close quarter RV) please call 812-849-6629 (I'm not really an email kind of guy!) Sincerly & Thanks Ed 11/05/09

Winter rving van-isle wendyI'm a 67 swf, and started rv shopping today. The dealer suggested I try a website like this... Who knew !! I`d also be happy to share expenses and driving with a rv owner, to spend winter months in Arizona or California or Florida, anywhere sunny and warm. I`m a non-smoker, love dogs and cats (don`t own any). Serious only can reach me at wendyisnow@yahoo.ca. Today is Nov.1,2009
Re: Fulltimingjfruggiejfruggie@yahoo.com
A year long drive around the countryBob I am looking for a woman between the ages of 35-55 years old, and reasonably HWP. A few extra pounds is fine, no more than 180 lbs. I plan to take a year long drive around the country in a medium size RV, starting next fall. I plan to see as much of the USA as possible starting with a swing through the southern states in the fall/winter, maybe Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Then finish up with the rest of the northern states in the spring and summer. Space will be limited so please don't be a high maintenance and need to bring everything you own. Obviously there would have to be some kind of chemistry between us. A pension or other means of self supporting income to cover some of the expenses would be great. I will cover my share and then some, but would like some kind of contribution toward expenses. A retired military woman would be ideal. The trip would consist of driving to the next place of interest (yours or mine) spend a couple days there and then move on to the next. If we are really enjoying a place stay till we stop having fun. Some of the places on my list are Charleston SC, Savannah GA, St Augustine FL, Key West FL, Ocala FL, Pensacola FL, New Orleans LA (Mardis Gras), Austin TX, San Antonio TX, South Padre Island TX, Grand Canyon AZ, Denver CO, Las Vegas, NV, Pacific coast from San Diego to Canada border with stops for giant red woods, golden gate bridge, Napa Valley, Boise ID through Montana and Dakotas to Minn/St Paul MN, Chicago IL, Niagara falls, New England, Atlantic City, and back to Virginia. Looking for someone that wouldn’t care if this trip takes longer than a year. A passport would be nice for day trips into Mexico or Canada. Please enjoy biking and have own bike. I'm 6'2" tall, 175 lbs, brown eyes, salt/pepper hair. I am easy going, laid back, and can carry my end of a conversation. I have traveled extensively overseas and want to see this great country of ours. I'm financially secure (retired Military) and don't need to work to support myself, but not rich by any means. I have started this search early to allow for determining if there is chemistry between us, and for the adequate time for both to prepare. bobtop36@hotmail.com
