Planning a trip...

[marc2912]

With all this talk of politics (not politics), diesel prices and everything else in between I said fark it, I don't care. Planned the first (longer) trip with the Dutch Star for July (so far we've only done a 2 night trip). With 2 kids and a wife my RV vacation is probably different than most class A DP folks.

Leaving lower NY well hit PA for a quick trip at Hershey Park, then hit Virginia over 2 nights. Past that we'll dip into North Carolina and spend 2 days in Raleigh to explore since it's where we plan to buy once we sell this our house in NY (fark those interest rate too). Post Raleigh it's out to the Outer Banks, and then a stop in South Delaware for another few days on the beach,

Back home after 11 days.

It's a mixture of KOAs, they're great for the kids, and regular resorts. We are spending one night at a harvest host since everything was booked.

Pretty excited to be honest. Hoping to finish up the work on the Wrangler this weekend so it's Toad ready. Then between now and July I'll try a few weekend trip to different local Harvest Hosts to get used to the Toad.


** actually I guess I want to make a correction, it's not "planning a trip", it's "booked a trip". Not point sitting there thinking do we do it or do we not.

That's the right answer! Get out and enjoy what there is to see and DISCONNECT from the grips of those that want to control us.

We're down in Gulf Shores for 2 weeks. I'm thinking of adding a third week. I've already spent the fuel money to get here right? So the extra week won't cost much.

We4 are not that far away in Penscola.

I think you will have a blast!

Sounds like a great trip to me!

Thanks all, only regret is not being able to make it down to Jim's but I needed internet as I'll be semi working. It does have a silver lining though, gives me another reason to have another trip soon.

We are a week into a 2 month+ trip with our 5W. Florida to Glacier in Montana with many stops, before taking a circuitous route back. Almost canceled it but it’s full speed ahead. Attended granddaughters college graduation in Lexington, VA yesterday and leave tmr to visit family in Ohio, then onto the Michigan UP.
Glacier on June 18th

Just wondering if you are avoiding the Lewes-Cape May ferry or if your travels are just taking you elsewhere? I always enjoy a ferry and try to fit one into my itinerary when I can - it breaks things up a bit and makes for an interesting and memorable experience.

Have a great trip. We put things off and sometimes Tomorrow never comes. We are planning a 45 day
Caravan Trip out west and we are GOING.

Even that my wife shattered her wrist and had surgery 11 days ago, high Diesel fuel prices, my bad right knee needing surgery, WE ARE STILL GOING....LOL

Good luck in your travels.

Just curious, what was your honest opinion about the Natural Bridge?

We've planned and booked (most nights) 6-week trip to CO and NM in the fall. Son is looking forward to having the house to himself and he wouldn't let us cancel.

Enjoy, we are out for 10 days next trip as well! We will hide from civilization at Jim's place (Deer Springs RV Park/ Franklin NC) for Independence day and enjoy the southern branch of the NC mountains. We have a place in the northern NC mountains we love as well. Happy camping!

Not avoiding it specifically, just didn't really think about it. Sounds like you've taken it, how easy is it with a 43' pulling a wrangler unlimited?

This is in 4 weeks so not sure, anything i should know ?

Sorry, I looked at it and thought you had already done the trip. My wife and I stopped on one of our many trips to Maine and back over the last 11 years. We never got into it as it was obscure at best and locked behind a gate as it appears to be privately owned. We stopped because her grandmother had traveled there many years ago. Decided it was not worth it and traveled on.

I'll let you know.
