Great responses! Thank you all! Yes, HappyKayakers, I am getting real close to qualifying for a 'geezer pass'!! And I can do the research, just have not really checked on anything yet to find the sights I might need. I guess mostly what I am wanting is to be able to afford to stay in an area for more than a couple of days and really enjoy it. That would save on the fuel, also. We are past the run all day to see everything trips. At least my husband hopes we are!! I understand no travel is cheap, but your experiences sound great!
