GET OUT AND EXPLORE Mike and Leila Share Their Passion in Life
Mike and Leila purchased their first RV in 2016 and never looked back. It was a small 14-foot travel trailer and had just enough room for a small bathroom, a tiny kitchen area, and a bed. At the time, Mike and Leila had two German shepherds, and you’d better believe they traveled with them from Florida all the way to California! When the dogs lay down at night, they took up all of the floor space. It was a small trailer, but it did the job. In 2020, Mike and Leila upgraded to a 24-foot fifth wheel RV, and, by this time, they had lost both of their dogs. “It’s big enough for the two of us,” Mike and Leila explain. “The layout is great, and we have a bedroom, closets for storage, and we even have a stove in the kitchen!” There’s plenty of sleeping space, as the dinette and couch convert into beds. “Our two primary destinations are either to Michigan or California. We both are from Michigan, and we visit often for reunions. With the exception of our very first trip to California from Florida in 2016, we’ve never taken a direct route. We make many stops along the way,” Mike and Leila tell us. They’ve developed lots of interests throughout their travels, stopping at airplane museums, car shows, and boat locks. They’ve visited many
national parks, toured the Grand Canyon, explored the Petrified Forest, and adventured in the Painted Desert. Mike and Leila also explored Eureka Springs, Meteor Crater National Landmark, and Bryce Canyon. Their adventures don’t stop here. RVing and touring the country continue to be passions of Mike and Leila. “Purchasing an RV isn’t an investment in money,” they explain. “It’s an investment in experience, as it affords you the opportunity to get out into the country and see things that you wouldn’t be able to access otherwise. Unfortunately, when you retire, your world sometimes can get smaller. While you’re young, healthy, and able, seize the opportunity to get out and travel and gain these experiences.” For anyone interested in purchasing an RV, Mike and Leila recommend that you rent one first to try it out and see if it’s for you. If you enjoy it as much as they do, it’ll forever change the way you view the world!
