So where are you headed this year? Going any place new or returning to fav destinations?

This is the first year I'm in a shoulder shrug as to where to go. In prior years I had events, reasons to be somewhere, etc. This is the first "freestyle" year for me and I have to figure out where I want to go. As of now my tentative plans are:
  • Gaffney, SC / Freightliner standby list end of January for PDM recall and one other item to check then to Hilton Head Motorcoach for 2 weeks followed by a few days in Savannah then back home near end of February
  • I've been rolling a reservation at VA Beach for a year and a half now so my plan is to be there for July 4th which is typically when I go, for a week. Possibly back up to an ole fav, Cherrystone in Cape Hatteras after VA Beach.
  • I'm considering going to the Oshkosh AirVenture airshow after VA Beach (Wisconsin) so that will likely be the next stop on that outing.
  • Fall I'm thinking of a Denver/Aspen tour possibly followed by another attempt at Glacier NP
  • The past winters I traveled. This winter I decided to stay home. I'll likely to Naples, FL and other Florida destinations for a several month winter escape.
My plan on selling my coach and considering buying a new coach left the brain cavity about as fast as it entered it. Keeping ole trusty and enjoy it as I do every time.

So what's your plan?
 
We’re actually staying in FL through the summer so that we can feel the heat and make sure we can live with the worst of it before buying some property
 
As much as I can!
Still trying to figure out a trip to Theodore Roosevelt NP that does not involve days of empty driving from California. I was looking at the Bighorn Mountains as an intermediate stop for a few days. Maybe back to Colorado.

Lots of local boondocking is our go-to getaway, but all our favorite local haunts burned up last summer.
Anyway, it's the wife's turn to pick a destination. I chose Utah last summer (hiked into The Wave, that is one more thing off my bucket list).
 
Trip to Vegas and back wore out DW. We will stop at Jim's place on way back to Olde Beau in May, hang there for spring and early summer. Also spend Independence Day at Jim's. Will do Middlebury in Sept/ Oct for last of warranty items. More of a low key year, close trips and trying to enjoy our place in mountains.

In my experience, FL in summer isn’t that different from NoVa.
 
Headed to Phoenix area shortly. Be back home in April. Hoping to get in some spring training, but I fear baseball is going to go full stop. We’ll see.

Newmar Service Center in May for warranty stuff.

Newmar International Rally in WY in July. Plan on spending about two months in that region.

FL between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Maybe back to FL next winter.

I hope that turns out to be what we experience. That would be totally livable for us.
 
I used to have to travel to Tampa mid summer for work. I love FL, will probably move there someday. The humidity is just one to get used to which just means more time in water.
 
We've been talking about going to Maine in August as long as there is no lock down issues in the Northeast. We'd like to camp in the far north or high altitude in the summer.
If there are too many Government travel restrictions, we will stay local in the Southeast, maybe north Georgia.
 
If I don't go to the Oshkosh airshow I will likely head to Bar Harbor, Maine. Forgot that option was in a brain cell somewhere. The daily lobster was amazing!
 
Staying in the North Two old places, one new.
 
The end of January we will hopefully start a 2 1/2+ month 6-7k mile trip headed south from the Bay Area thru So. Nevada, Arizona, Galveston area, NOLA, around the gulf to Key West, up to Charleston and then to HWH in Iowa for a tuneup and Bauer Upholstery to get our crappy furniture covered the way it should have been done in the first place (my dime this time). We will then head back west to home. Fingers crossed on weather.
 
DH is picking out the trips and he can't decide between Longwood Gardens or Buchart in BC. I like the Rockies - I have already made some reservations for the fall.
 
We're about to spend a few months in NE Texas looking for a future S&B, then mid-April to early May in the Dallas area for a rally and wedding. After that, it's Colorado and points west and north, then across the Michigan UP. We have an appointment at Spartan (south Michigan) on Aug.1 followed by a visit to Newmar and Bradd & Hall, September in Tennessee (to include the Hoots rally) and October at Deer Springs RV Park. November will be Texas for deer hunting and Thanksgiving, then to the Jamaica Beach RV Resort on Galveston Island for December and January. That pretty much covers it!
 
Summer plans are to go to campgrounds at military bases near us. Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Next fall will be a trip to FL to winter over for the first time. Plans are contingent on finding somewhere that will take our two dogs.
 
Hanging out at Deer Springs RV Park until November (no surprise there, right?), then assuming we have an RV, leaving for our Bella Terra lot in Gulf Shores for a few months.
 
Heading over to South Dakota/Black Hills area this spring/early summer. Not sure where we'll stay. Just going to wing it. Maybe look for some property and gold.
