On our way home, we had to really make it faster because I had an fiberart show in N.C. We missed so much as we whizzed by. Whenever John can travel, we will be just lazing along in order to take it everything we can. <br /><br />But, now you two are retired with no boss to tell you what and when!

It is a nice mix, and allows us to spend more for the nice spacious state parks that we love as well. As far as being destination travelers?? I get that.

We just used Passport America rather than the various parking lots. I'm a light sleeper and folks coming in and out with diesels would give me no sleep at all.

Shortly our "over commitment" to family etc will be over and then our commitment is to ourselves! A week in Maine - a month in Nova Scotia - a month in Old Quebec - a month on Cape Cod and then 5+ months in Florida!!!<br />These places you mention are good one night stops - we found Camping World to be good also and most times they provide an electrical hookup. first come first served.

I'm like Mike though.

But I kept watching all these neat places whipping by us and I finally figured out that I wanted to see some of these things. Took awhile but I think we've got it worked out for us. 150 to 200 miles a day and maybe stay a day or two. But we know others who travel just like you are and that is what they like. Thank goodness we can do anyway we want it.Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-84685240520772024282012-05-16T23:08:19.046-04:002012-05-16T23:08:19.046-04:00sleep well!...safe travels tomorrow!sleep well!...safe travels tomorrow!Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-70804982052946842472012-05-16T23:05:16.759-04:002012-05-16T23:05:16.759-04:00Sorry!

I don't like long drives, have only stayed in a non campground place once due to an emergency, and prefer to take my time seeing all I can when possible. Neither way is the only right way. Different stokes for different folks. I'm glad you're not here bumping me out of one of a few COE campsites available where I'm at. :)Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-13285970078759570842012-05-16T22:06:09.331-04:002012-05-16T22:06:09.331-04:00Someday you'll be lazy full-timers.
