I am going to go and get the crown done in one of the border towns because the other dentist couldn't get the crown done as quickly as I would like, in fact if I stayed and had it done I would only be getting the crown put on, on Monday and we didn't want to wait around that long.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82982332269452745212015-01-03T23:42:05.543-05:002015-01-03T23:42:05.543-05:00Thanks for the warning, Kevin is pretty knowledgea...Thanks for the warning, Kevin is pretty knowledgeable about the workings of the fridge and took great care while working on it.

Everybody RV's differently and everybody has a different budget to deal with. Kathe is right you need to go to an RVing forum to ask a question like this. There are many of them out there like www.escapees.com, www.rv.net.<br /><br />As for AirBNB and couchsurfing, they aren't long term ways of travel. AirBNB to start off with isn't very cheap anymore and couchsurfing is great but you don't always get responses back from people you have contacted. As for traveling this way we have our expenses posted at the end of each month so that can give you and idea. Also if you want to stay longer term somewhere and want to ship 5-10 boxes then you have far to much "stuff" and you should seriously consider what you really "need". We have done several stints where we have traveled for 5 to 7 months just out of two small suitcases and we managed perfectly fine, having said that we aren't normal!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58587051622760890032015-01-03T23:05:53.259-05:002015-01-03T23:05:53.259-05:00Yep, after hearing what others have paid in both C...Yep, after hearing what others have paid in both Canada and the US, we definitely got a great deal.<br /><br />I wonder what the dentists would charge if you told them you didn't have insurance.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-28049676275411643812015-01-03T23:02:25.355-05:002015-01-03T23:02:25.355-05:00Haha Paula, that was a good one!

For the...Thanks Dugg. Insightful and appreciated. <br /><br />For the record I wasn't boasting and my income isn't $500K USD per year - it was actually $740K USD last year since you seem curious. It was a great year and I'm very fortunate. <br /><br />Coach surfing and AirBnb are also fantastic communities and great resources for meeting new people regardless of their and your backgrounds. No one judges and you come as you are. My advice is to give it a try!Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071601901626679557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-50110356988458064882014-12-31T14:52:50.824-05:002014-12-31T14:52:50.824-05:00Here are my thoughts.

You can reduce your depreciation by an order of magnitude by simply paying about a tenth of that. New. Second, you might consider not mentioning couchmooching in the same post where you boast about earning $500K a year. Just a thought.
