Sweetheart of a Deal Member Referral Winners! $100 Ca$h - Most Referral Winner - Howard & Linda Payne From Louisville, Kentucky We have been Passport America members since we began full timing way back in 2005. And we tell all those considering full timing that Passport America is a "nobrainer" addition to their campground selection resources. Howard & Linda Payne quit their corporate jobs and sold their house at age 41. Though they were living what most people would call the “American Dream”, they felt there was more to life than what traditional society expected. So, in a moment of enlightenment, or mid-life crisis if you prefer, they gave up all they knew, including a steady paycheck, for life on the road in an RV for an indefinite period. That was in 2005. Along with that decision, they decided to start a website called RV-Dreams.com. It is a site in which Howard took the mounds of research he had done and compiled it into one place for others considering full-time RVing. In addition, he and Linda decided to open up their lives and post their journey, their triumphs and mistakes, and their financial information for a more complete, honest look at full-time RVing. That little website has grown into quite a community and includes a daily online journal, a forum, a live chat room, and more. Howard and Linda have presented seminars at RV shows, at RV rallies, and at RV educational conferences. And they also put on their own RV-Dreams educational rallies each year. In addition to running the RV-Dreams website, putting on rallies, and speaking at events, Howard and Linda have also worked a variety of jobs on the road to help support their full-timing lifestyle. Their diversity of experiences, their age, and their background have combined to create an interesting perspective on RV living. And, their refreshingly straightforward approach provides those investigating the lifestyle with tools to properly evaluate whether full timing is right for them. $100 Gas Card - Random Drawing Winner - Gail & Connie Stover From Ash Grove, Missouri Gail & Connie Stover live in Ash Grove, Missouri and bought their camper 2 years ago. They both are retired and got started in camping by her Sister and Brother-n-Law. They didn't really camp before they retired due to jobs and family, however now that they are retired they are enjoying it a lot! Connie said with Passport America and the great discounts that you get, they can camp and stay on the road longer. Their next Big Adventure is going up to the Green Bay area of Wisconsin. They just found out all the Passport America campgrounds in that area are very accommodating to all campers and they are really looking forward to this journey!

I once stumbled upon this Ayurveda Holistic Health Retreat nestled in Alachua, Florida several years ago, during tough times in my life. Not at all knowing what to expect, I was at first out of my comfort zone. It ended up being a rare and unique holistic health experience that truly opened my mind and heart to a whole new way of being that helped improve my health in so many ways. I learned so many little things I took with me and implement today in my daily life. So for this month I thought I would share Ayurveda Health retreat with you! It was founded in 2001 by Richard Masla, an Ayurvedic Health Practitioner, whose motto at his place of business is ‘To Love, Serve and Remember’. At the AHR, they offer treatments called Panchakarma, which can consist of one, or two massage therapist who use ancient Healing herbal oils imported from India! Lunch and dinners are served family style and the cooks are Amazing too! The food is extremely delicious, healthy vegetarian meals. If you are looking for fancy this isn’t your place. But, if you are looking to de-stress your life, healing all naturally, a down home peaceful relaxing environment where the staff is compassionate, caring and sincere then this is a great find and experience for you. Why Go on a Health Retreat? Do you ever get overwhelmed with stress? Is your mind having a difficult time focusing? How is your digestion? A personal Health Retreat will rejuvenate your body, mind and soul like pressing the reset button on your life. Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of medicine, dating back over 5,000 years to ancient India. It is the science of living in harmony with nature. In Sanskrit, ayur- means life and -veda means knowledge. Ayurveda utilizes various therapies including yoga, diet, massage and herbal preparations to bring balance and harmony to the body, mind and soul. It is a truly holistic approach to achieving and maintaining that balance. Because Ayurveda is a holistic approach to healthcare, it embraces the whole person rather than treating symptoms. Cleanse your body and start on the path to feeling complete again. Rediscover yourself. Learn how to live in harmony with your life and how to treat yourself well. Your Retreat will include: Ayurvedic vegetarian meals, Daily Panchakarma treatments (2-2 1⁄2 hours). Daily yoga and meditation classes are included but optional.
