I retire in April and have plans to take a long trip with my wife. We bought our first camper (22 foot TT) a couple of months ago. We want to leave in May and head west. I want to hit all the states west of the Mississippi. I have no reservations and no timeline. I want to see some of the popular national parks, but otherwise I'm flexible! Any ideas??

While there are 101 things that you can do and see, in every state, I would recommend that in your planning you set aside at least one day a week, where you do nothing. We did a 4 month trip after the wife retired and were doing something or going someplace everyday, after 4 months we were just plum wore out. We are taking a year off in '14 and one thing we have already decided, is that no matter where we are or what we are doing, one day a week is to sit around, read, catch up on laundry, whatever. Anything except driving and sight seeing.
