Four months on the road! Can't do that in a plane or hotel. Have you thought this through? The TC is a great way to get away for the weekend. A trip doesn't always have to be a grand tour. A weekend escape is can be a "little gusto". Having that TC ready to go has been a great source for spur of the moment fun. If you have to try jet/hotel travel, two of our favorite trips were 10 days in Manhattan and 10 days on MAUI. In NY, we spent time going to museums and historic places and had an extraordinary time. It was also fleet week while we were there. MAUI, we rented a convertible and drove to all the destinations and side trips we could fit in. It wasn't enough time and we will go there again someday. Nothing like watching the sunset from the top of a volcano then stargazing for a couple hours after that.
I hope this won't be your last TR but if be it so, We wish you great adventures in your future.
Side Note:
It's been a bad year for losing folks on the forum.
