In an attempt to get more consistent now on our blog, we’re launching “month in review”. It will cover a quick look at what we did and what the RV lifestyle costs us in that month. Once we're traveling again, we'll include campground info as well.
So, what do a couple retirees do their at the winter layover location? Here’s how January 2020 looked for us:
Weekly trips into Galveston for shopping and any other errands that can’t be done on the Bolivar Peninsula. (We love the free Texas State Ferry system!) And we found a great local church to attend...Crystal Beach Community Church.
Maintain Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. We’re doing a lot of catch-up from 2019 with our videos. This month we uploaded these:
We take walks and enjoy getting out on the beach. The Bolivar Peninsula offers easy access to over 20 miles of drive-able and camp-able beach on the Texas Gulf Coast. All you need is the annual $10 beach permit which is readily available at several businesses on the peninsula.



Bottom line…January was a good month of our RV life.
So, what does this lifestyle cost us anyway? Here’s a “big picture”, in general terms, run-down for you. Your experiences and costs may vary, but if you’re wondering about your own future plans, we hope you find this helpful.
Fixed Expenses (i.e. campground fees, insurance, cellphones, etc…): $1340
Fuel: Jeep - $40 RV - $0 (after all, she’s not going anywhere at the moment 😉)
Repairs and Maintenance: $14
Shopping (i.e. groceries, sundries, etc): $730 (5 shopping trips this month)
Entertainment and Misc. (i.e. eating out, admissions, etc) $300
Hope you found this helpful! Safe travels to you, and who knows, As We Go, maybe someday we'll see you on the road!
