People always ask why are you blogging. Well , for me it is simple. We are about to join the ranks of the “retired” and want to document our camping travels so that our friends and family can share these destination trips with us.
I like to focus on Destinations and plan the trip around those destinations. Before I started this blog we made a trip to Mackinaw Island in Michigan. That was a great trip and thoroughly planned to include everything along the way that I had an interest in. On one of the tours on Mackinaw Island the tour guide asked those of us on the bus where we were from and how long it took us to get there. People were from all over the country and reported that they had traveled 3, 4, 5, days. I reported that I was from Ga and that it took me two weeks! It was a straight shot up I-75 but there is so much to see in places like Lexington, Cincinnati , Detroit, Louisville, Nashville, Indianapolis, etc.
One thing I want to document and post is our Canasta competition. Cheryl and I play Canasta every evening. I would like to keep a log of each evening’s winner and proclaim the King or Queen of Canasta at the end of each Destination trip based on the log that we keep. If you see us on the road and want to play Canasta, give a shout.
Will my plans actually happen? Maybe, maybe not. A lot depends on how I manage to get past the obstacles that undoubtedly will present themselves. Right now I would really appreciate a new truck to pull my fifth wheel. And I would like to sell the old suburban and the old Lincoln. Oh, and by the way, it would help if I could actually retire. Right now I am still working . These are obstacles that have to be taken care of by May since I am well into planning our Great River Road destination trip.
