Nice place, no substitute for a boat or a camper however. One of the
attractions of cruising on a boat (or a camper) is that you are
carrying all of your things around with you, ready to use wherever you
happen to arrive - no packing or unpacking. Another attraction is the
mobility aspect where you can take your vacation home wherever you
want, and any time you want.


I pack in pretty easy, one big duffle bag and my computer case


Likewise, except I use a rolling softside suitcase. I certainly don't
want to bring "all my things" on a vacation. Why would I want to? If it
is any real distance, I'd rather fly or, in Europe, take one of those
nice, fast, comfy trains we don't have here.


We fly
I am not sure I would want to ride 1600 miles (this trip) on a train
and I know I would not do 3000 to go out west. It is 400 or so, just
to get out of Florida. Europe is a pretty small place with attractions
fairly close together.
I carry my duffle and a cooler.
