Kevin and I really like to watch movies. We’ve subscribed to the 3 movie package with Netflix for several years. Many weekends we would watch 3 movies in one weekend; especially, on those cold Wisconsin weekends.
This summer we are having the movies sent to our son’s house. About once a week one of us drives to his house to get our mail, including the movies. It’s about an hour drive each way, but we figure we have to get our mail anyways so we continue to have the movies sent.
We plan to continue to use his address as our mailing address once we leave for the winter. I don’t think it will be feasible to continue the Netflix. From what I understand, most campgrounds don’t let you get personal mail delivered to the campground.
I’m wondering what other fulltimers do about movies. We do have DirecTV and can watch movies on TV. We don’t subscribe to any of the movie channels because it doesn’t seem they have that many good movies. We’re not much into going to the theater due to the cost and convenience of watching at home. I’m thinking we will try out Redbox as we travel. I also frequently check out movies at the library. I’ll have to see how accessible libraries are as we move around.
Two recent movies I’ve enjoyed have been Extraordinary Measures and Valentine’s Day. We also watched Wolfman which I thought was far too gruesome and Remember Me which was a sad drama with a surprise twist at the end.
It’s not a big deal, but one of those things we enjoyed in our old life and are trying to figure out how to incorporate into our new life.
Yesterday we played another round of golf. Kevin shot a 47 which was one of his best rounds ever. I’m still not keeping score. I did have 4 decent holes with a par on the last hole. It’s rare for me to get a par, so I was excited about that. Little by little, I’m improving. Even though I’m not very good, we have a good time playing together.
Wishing you all a great day!
