Let's take a cruise, but only if we are constipated...

We are kinda burnt on the Caribbean. It looks like we are doing Oregon
next.
Have you seen the sites in southern Utah yet?
We were up here a ways on the Arizona New Mexico trip.
Bryce Canyon and Zion
Two of the best. Our next big, i.e., longer than a week or so, will probably be to Yellowstone and
Grand Teton, with sightseeing in between. Maybe next year. This year's getting booked pretty solid.

Hope you're having a spectacular day!
It must be a real drag pulling that luxurious 5th wheel all over the
countryside and seeing all those marvelous sites while enjoying all the
creature comforts and not having to deal with suitcases.
Ever think of sandwiching yourself into an airplane between two fat
smelly people and doing a flyover instead?
Been there, done that, it sucks!
My wife is the navigator. She's got the little ipad or pod or whatever the hell it is that connects
to the internet while we're traveling. She also bought a book called, "Next Exit" which is a great
source of info while traveling on the interstates. The trailer we bought is nice in that everything
can be used without using the slideouts. That was one of the main criteria in choosing it. Many of
the floor pans don't allow access to refer's, stoves, sinks, couches, etc. when the slides are in.
That means 'setting up' to spend the night somewhere. We can pull in to a 'Flying J' and spend the
night with all the comforts - and it's free!

'Name-calling'...the liberals' last resort.
I was in Chicago for a few days last week. It's about 750 miles from
here and is at least a 12 hour drive through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Indiana, along routes best "flown over." Blech. Took a jet, had aisle
seat both ways.
Hour and a half flight each way. Plus an hour arrival early at the
airport. No luggage wait, since I used a carry-on bag.
Got a meeting coming up in Seattle later this year. 2800 miles. At least
two days worth of driving if you don't stop for very long. No thanks.
To each his own.
A trailer is not the thing to take on jobs. Flying to Seattle for a meeting sounds like the planners
have their heads up their butts. Do it over Skype. My wife does a lot of conference calling and
meeting attendance from home using software provided by the company she's consulting for.

Skype is ok. I use it with one of my programmer sources, who lives in
India. Sometimes, though, you just "gotta be there." Besides, I like
visiting the Left Coast, though the long flights are not something I enjoy.
