Future Road Trips
My wife and I love to travel, and last year we went to extremes. We went to Iceland, and then to Anguilla in the British West Indies. Night and Day I’m telling you.
I bought her a high performance German ride, which she didn’t like; so she gave it back to me. She’s a truck-driving woman. Anyway, not only is my new ride fun to drive, it’s comfortable, the perfect “road trip” car. I’ve got most of the bells figured out, but not the whistles. I’m ready for a shakedown cruise, so to speak.
We’re thinking a couple of “no rush” road trips might work.
The New England bed and breakfast tour? Cival War Battlefields? Beautiful country, but those folks talk funny.
The eastern coast from NC, SC, to Savannah, St. Augustine, and then FL, AL, MS (southern route) following the coast to New Orleans? New Orleans is the Catdaddy!
Or, we could break for the Prairies.
We’re thinking these will be about eight - ten days each, so we can’t realistically go west of the Mississippi. Too bad, I’ve done that, and it is spectacular.
Any ideas?
But then again, we might go to Euorpe, or Austrailia.
Here are a few notions from my to-do list:
1. Follow the Mississippi River north to Hannibal, Missouri, the boyhood home of Mark Twain.
2. Visit some of the old ballparks after the season gets underway next spring. I've always wanted to catch a game at Wrigley Field or Fenway Park.
3. Travel down (or up) U.S. Highway 1. It runs from Fort Kent, Maine, all the way down to Key West.
