The One Thing We Miss.....

What would you miss if you sold your home and nearly everything you own?  We are very happy and comfortable in our fifth wheel, except for one thing. What do you think it is?

• Family?  Nope. We didn't have any family members near our home in Central Pennsylvania.  As a matter of fact, we've seen our family more in the past 4 months, than in the past 4 years!
• The House? Nope. I've only missed the house once. It was a rainy day and I remember how we used to go out on our covered back porch and watch the rain storms move across the mountains. 
• The Land? We had 1.5 acres with awesome views of the mountains near the Susquehanna River Valley. I though I might miss the privacy offered by 1.5 acres, but I haven't so far. Our fifth wheel is designed for full time living and is very well insulated. When the windows are shut, we don't hear anything going on in nearby campsites.
• Our Friends?  Our friends, like our family, live all over the USA. We are enjoying seeing them as we travel. We do miss the new friends we made in Williamsport. But, we are keeping in touch via Facebook and we hope to see them again during our travels.
• Our Stuff? No.We have exactly what we need with us -- and not a bit more. We don't miss all of the stuff we sold and donated. As a matter of fact, life is a lot simpler and freer without all of that stuff.
• Two cars? Full time RVing means sharing one car (or in our case, a truck). I've had my own wheels since I was 18. And, like everyone, I value the convenience and freedom of having my own car. But, sharing one vehicle has been really painless for us. No problem!
• Cable TV? Not really. Many campgrounds have cable TV and if not, we have been picking up excellent quality digital TV with our antennae (free) or watching some of the 300+ movies Terry brought with us.

Any other guesses?

The answer is unlimited high-speed Internet. When you live in a sticks-and-bricks home, your cable connection provides limitless high-speed Internet. We used to stream NetFlix movies or TV series nearly every evening at home. We can't do that anymore! Streaming one movie can chew up 3 to 5 GB of data. We are living with a severe data limit of only 24 GB per month -- shared between our two smart phones, our two laptops and our tablet.We're making it work so far. Verizon just purchased our data provider (Millenicom) so we will probably be switching data plans before the end of the month when Verizon's double data offer expires.
