After 6 months and 3 days on the road, logging over 7000 miles and staying in 16 states, we are headed home today. Hulk sad, but we know there will another Big Adventure.

Glad to hear you had a safe trip. As far as mileage goes we only go from Michigan to Ft. Myers in Feb & March and put on 5900 miles.

It adds up fast.
Happy trails,

Well JW got me to the next thing I needed to do which was debrief the trip. I'll add that soon, but to address your point, we rented a car when we needed it instead of towing a car. Neither of our cars could be towed 4 down, so we would have needed to buy something before leaving on the trip. We stayed longer when we had a car, although we did try to stretch a no-rental stop to 2 weeks. We also found that we were picking places to stay based on their proximity to an Enterprise location, which is a poor criteria. It did work out for the most part, but at least I'm convinced that towing is the way to go. Now I just have to convince the DW.


Makes me think that my first adventure will be in a short Class C that can often be used as an around town vehicle. Love the space of a Class A but don't really care to drive one. Just me and the dogs ๐Ÿ˜ž

WOW! That sure was one active Snowbird season. Nice map too. :C

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Welcome home: We did one similar only in 4 months. We found out that we are not big fans of moving every few days. We loved visiting the different parts of our wonderful country but I find spending the same amount of time in one place that is warm and I can play golf is more to my liking. Enjoy your summer on the Cape.
Have Fiver will travel with little or no notice at all. I do need to stop at rest areas now and then:)
