What a wonderful list. There's so much this life has to offer. Many of your items are also on my bucket list. I've not seen the Northern Lights. I am very curious about the Southern Lights especially, not heard of those!

I've not toured most the country, nor seen the Grand Canyon or the Golden Gate. I live in NY state but never been to the top of the Empire State, or crossed the Brooklyn bridge. Never seen the Big Apple.


I've seen glow worms, but never swam with dolphins.


Piano is the one instrument I regret never learning. Always wanted to go to London's Abbey Road, pay homage to the Beatles. Then travel England and on to Europe to revisit my ancestral homeland.

@Stereoguy Oh wow, Devon, I think? One of my favorite areas. Was going to buy a thatched roof cottage there.
How lucky you are to have ancestry from there. Such a rich history.

There is so much to see and explore. Cant wait for COVID to end.

Wont be too soon either. Cant wait to get my shot.

My heritage is split between Swiss/Austrian, and French. Then England/Wales. So open borders will go a long way to retracing the family tree.

@Stereoguy Very nice! Scotland's strongest of the 3 for us also. Managed to find our clan crest a while back, with a castle in the family somewhere.

But it's Ireland that moves the family to tears. It really inspires their passion even though its not really their background.

The rollout will extend well into the summer definitely, but the push is really on now!

@Stereoguy Once the vaccinations are complete, and it's efficacy is field tested in the day to day, yes. I'm chomping at the bit to road trip.

Will you be planning travel even tentatively for this year? Late summer/fall perhaps?

@Stereoguy Thats the only way to go. Flexibility and all the comforts, and being self contained is critical right now. What a wonderful plan. And a beautiful time to take in the landscape.

Cabin fevers killing us too.

Did you guys wind up getting the Class A? We'd considered one or a coach bus.

@Stereoguy Good access to more sites than a bus. No special license either. But still with ample interior space. They are very well appointed..fantastic!

@Stereoguy Thats quite spacious. Note sure if the coaches had extendible options...was one of the drawbacks. Really liked how slides made Class A feel like a real home.

@Stereoguy My other consideration was class C on a long wheelbase or 5th wheel trailer. But not suited for extended holidays.

@Stereoguy Most definitely, hands down.

@Stereoguy Very good question. Might have to rent one in town or for the duration thats compact to tow. I guess leaving the park on day excursions is not practical without a car..hmm.

@Stereoguy The flexibility cant be beat. Especially with Walmart allowing RV parking. Either this or bring 2 E bikes/vespas lol.

@Stereoguy Then a nice home cooked at Shoney's, or a Denny's.
