In getting rid of stuff held unto for ever, ruthless is the only way to go.<br /><br />I scanned all documents from the service I might need or want and the hard copies were burned.<br /><br />I may have gotten a bit carried away. Many of the plagues and commission certificates that were picked up over the years and were mounted in wooden plagues were actually used in a large camp fire our first night as full timers.<br /><br />So far, I cannot say I have missed anything. In the clothes department, as you may have noticed from our less than spiffy appearance if some of our pictures, less is better is the motto of the day:)<br /><br />Keep tossing that stuff!Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-46169630578617474912011-11-16T09:05:52.393-05:002011-11-16T09:05:52.393-05:00My worst dream was that there would be some mix up...My worst dream was that there would be some mix up when it came time to retire and I wouldn't get credit for my time with RPD.

Our life was so simple. Making decisions was so much easier because we had fewer choices available. Of course, you now have unlimited choices about where to go and what to do:o))<br /><br />Pack the Journey, then drive away and enjoy the DREAM!! The rest is just STUFF and can be replaced if necessary. My bet is you won't miss a thing and will purge even more stuff once you hit the road ;o))Nancy and Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923426994795610528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-70942015116230659402011-11-15T22:52:09.961-05:002011-11-15T22:52:09.961-05:00Clothes and shoes are not one of my problems areas...Clothes and shoes are not one of my problems areas.

So I just dumped everything I ever wore to work first off.<br /><br />But, I did find that I didn't bring too many clothes on the road but I brought some of the wrong clothes. Consider how often you want to do your laundry when you are bringing clothes and don't bring as many white things as I did if you will mostly be hiking, kayaking etc. LOL<br /><br />That's my advice! you can always dump but who wants to rebuy???Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-9890295881291436552011-11-15T22:14:16.264-05:002011-11-15T22:14:16.264-05:00You're lucky you kept those papers!!

We've been on the road for three years and we're still getting rid of clothes and stuff. I had kind of the same issue when I retired from the IRS. They had a wrong date on board by 2 1/2 years. Thank goodness I had kept every piece of paper to prove them wrong. So glad that's all behind me.Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-30542310152597292742011-11-15T21:38:41.042-05:002011-11-15T21:38:41.042-05:00You sound mighty calm for a panic attack! :)
