    I quit working 11 years ago....the only traveling I do now is to go fishing. I am lucky living in notheast MS as I have good fishing all around me....but I still like to wander off up into TN every now and then.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    Wish you would have had one more catagory to vote on. NEVER HOME. We have been on the road for 6 years now and spend about a 2 weeks a year at "home". A place we pay rent on and the wife's brother lives there to take care of the place. Did sort of miss it at times, now we just look forward to the next contract, new adventure and meeting great people like we have. You never quite know what your gonna see, who your gonna meet or what your gonna catch. Don't know how long we will do this, guess when we find "that place" will build again and settle down. Just have not found it yet.

    I've worked some years with very long hours in a manufacturing plant but as of the last couple years my hours has been from 6AM to 2:30PM and I LOVE IT!!:D:D Plenty of time daily to hunt or fish all I want.

    Traveling is nice once in a while, but not for a living.
