I HAVE BEEN OFF OF VT SINCE 06. I KEEP THIS PAGE UP TO REFERANCE IT FROM OTHER FORUMS I PARTICIPATE IN. IF YOU ARE ONE OF MY FRIENDS ON VT LOOK FOR ME AT THE OPEN ROADS FORUM. These links are to the US Governments estimates of what it costs for a travelers to get food and lodging in a particular location.

I have never lived in one place for more than 4 years. I started traveling when I was 2 and hope to die in an unfamilar place, and in an unfamilar bed ;-) The best places I have been are Turkey, Thailand, Bermuda, and Scotland. I never want to go back to India. India has some real wonders to see-Taj Mahal, Himilayas, etc. but putting up with the conditions makes seeing them a one time only experience.
I retired in 2000, after 30 years in the Army, and do not expect to ever work (for pay) again. The yard is all the "employment" I want.
