We have about 2 months remaining on our winter stay in Fort Myers. So it is time to start planning… planning the trip north and then the trip out to Wisconsin for my 50th high school reunion. But we still have 16 states that we haven’t visited. We can hit four – OH, MI, IN and WI – getting to the reunion, but that leaves 12 states, including WA. I think this is our opportunity to complete our 48 state map.
So I am now in the process of planning the trip north, the 3 months in New England, the trip to Wisconsin, the trip to Washington and Oregon and the trip back east. And, of course, we need to decide where we will spend the winter. That discussion includes options to spend between 3 and 6 months outside the US – perhaps in Panama or Costa Rica – to see how we might like living there if we decide to turn in the RV.
The three months in New England will actually take more planning than usual as we intend to do a “New England Tour” this year, spending no more than 3 weeks at any one RV park. The tour will include MA, NH and ME.
I booked one stop on the trip north yesterday and plan to book some of the summer sites today. The planning is underway! I will provide more details as the plans stabilize.
