85%

[Jaybird]

There is a commercial on TV that says 85% of those traveling this year will go back to the same place as before. Is this you?

Back in my working years I was able to drive my truck and pull my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer from Virginia to points West on our work trips.

As stated above we would always use the same roads, make the same gas stops, sleep-over nights at the same places. After two or three of these trips the folks along the way would start recognizing you and give you good greetings every time.

I was hard to miss with my high tires and the OFF-ROAD Camper hehe...

I pulled into a gas stop in MS one time early evening and here comes a County Sheriff trooper in right behind me. I'm thinking "ole me what have I done now" haha... Of course out of state VA tags in another state is always prime targets for police...

SO I get out to pump gas and the trooper comes up to ask if he could look over my off-road camper. Told me he had seen me come through the area several times and really liked my off-road road camper for hunting deer etc... I actually raised the roof and pulled the tent beds back some to let him get a good look haha...

We use to park over night at the same hotel parking lot in the rear and would go inside to let them know we were back there. Always got free coffee and conversations from them as well.

Makes traveling fun...

When we were RVing yes and no, depending on time and budget. Now that we fly most of the time, no.

I agree with Ivylog.

Like lots of people the first few years we always went to many different spots.

The last few years we have returned to the same spot each summer. Two factors at work:

1. At first, we were "looking around" and seeing what this great country had to offer.

2. After finding a spot that we really love, we keep going back.

So now, we are part of the 85% and happy about it.

No.

If you've been traveling for forty years it's probably 95%. If only two years it's less than 5% especially if you can only travel for two weeks. I will be spending some time in CA which I have not done for ten years so is that a NO for me? Can't even blame this one on Cabin Fever.:B

If "places" means States, I kind of have to with the exceptions of Oregon, Washington and Hawaii. If "Places" means CGs, I have a list of "Always" and "Never Agains", but most are "Always".

Yes and no...also! Heading out west to Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glaciar National Parks which wil be new to us. But stopping at the Dakota Badlands will be a repeat. And, some shorter outings this summer may be to places we've been before. But at this point in our retirement, we plan to take in some new destinations every year!

[valhalla360]

Yes and no.

For shorter trips, there are only so many places to go.
For longer trips, we usually wind up somewhere new.

Yep. Can't help it. I love the Oregon Coast in the summer. But we do something different each year on the way there and back. So I guess part of my trip is in the 85%.
